yes... that is true.... for me it isn't during eating... or gaining weight..

it is about survial.. I go into this great survial mode... where I pull out all the stops.. and don't quit.. at periods of time... never know what triggers the burst of energy... could be a memory coming back.. or a need in my family.. or trying to escape a memory...or a need in my job at the time..

But it is a most definitely... a burst... of extreme energy..

I have also experienced complusive exercising so that I don't gain weight during eating more... then the muscles in my body get "torn down" rather than built up..

all of it is destructive.. and hurtful ... and makes you want to give up... and did I mention.. very discouraged..
