Is it normal i can't stop myself from eating til it's gone?

Whenever I see something that looks good, I will start eating it... and eating it... and eating it until it's all gone, chips for instance, I'll get a whole bag of chips, I'll start eating them then something takes over me and I just go ham on them until the bag is empty. This often times gives me kanker sores and hurts my mouth with some of the things I eat non-stop. It's even worst when I'm smoking, I turn into a different person almost. I can put down the food, but then I get an irresistible urge to keep eating it, IIN?

    Sit in front of a mirror next time and watch yourself in all your gluttonous glory.

    Some extra info, I'm 18, 5'8", and 113 lbs. I'm starting to think it may be unhealthy to eat like this, I never put any of the weight on I don't know where it all goes to :/

      I don't know where it all goes, but if I had to guess I'd say it's in your poop.

      I bet you shit like a horse.

      Holy crap man! That's super skinny. Even though you aren't gaining weight, that's a terrible habit and a burden on your digestive system. Maybe you have tapeworms.

        Well I'm not just skin and bones, I have a decent amount of muscle for my weight and extremely low body fat %, but am not anorexic. I'm not sure if it's ok to post links, but here is what my arms looked like Feb. 2012, they've gotten a bit more muscled.

    As you're not overweight, your body obviously needs the food and it could be that you're just burning a lot of calories.

    It could also be a hormonal problem as usually when someone eats, the levels of hormones in their bodies changes and this signals to the brain that they've had enough food so they can stop eating. If your hormones are malfunctioning then your brain might not be getting the signal to stop eating and so you still feel famished and like your body thinks it is in 'starvation mode' and encouraging you to eat until all the food is gone.

    Maybe try to research 'metabolic disorder', it might be something to do with that.

    You are quite thin. This problem could be cause by 1. A extremely fast metabolism but I think it's unlikely in this situation... 2. A over active thyroid or 3. A parasite like a tapeworm. You must see a doctor!!!!

    This post made me think about a squirrel I saw on Nat Geo that jumped into a tree,grabbed some nuts and gobbled them down in less than a second. My mom said "That little glutton."

    So that's what you are... A squirrel...
