Wikipedia about overeating
Overeating can refer either to eating too much at one time, or to eating too much on average.
Overeating in the sense of eating too much at one time can cause discomfort (and nausea? vomiting?). (Subject needs expanding--what consequences may result?)
Overeating over the long term is a behavior that, while generally not a medical problem, is in some cases a symptom of binge eating disorder or bulimia. In more general terms it refers to the persistent consumption of excess food in relation to the energy that the person expends, leading to weight gain and often to obesity. This may be a brief or short term process (many people overindulge generally during festivities or while on holiday) or a longer term process.
