Has my addiction been active recently? In what way?

Yes my addiction is currently present as compulsive eating. This occurs most often at night when I want to go to sleep but can't but can occur at any time when I feel discomfort. The fact that my body is overweight and I do not feel attractive fuels the addiction to food. I consider it compulsive because even though I know my eating is excessive and I am eating to feel better, I can't seem to stop myself from doing it.
