I seem to remember reading in several different articles that some people
have less of whatever chemical or chemicals provide the feeling of
satiation. One article was about stomach stapling, and the person getting
the procedure said he can eat a TON of food without ever feeling full.
Definitely some people overeat for emotional reasons, but there really does
seem to be a purely physical component for some people that means they can't
rely on feeling full to know when to stop eating, and it must be very
difficult.
