Im sure that about 95% of her "addiction" is just boredom, whether it's shopping for shit or eating. She probably enjoys the things and goes out of her way to plan to have them but she doesnt "plan" binges and I doubt she actually binges in the way that you would thing a person with a binging disorder would. Rather than focusing solely on food and eating, and doing nothing but that, I imagine what it looks like is more her, sitting on the couch, bored watching late night tv, or browsing the internet, and she's got an open bag of hot cheetos next to her and she just absentmindedly shovels them in her mouth until theyre gone. Then she moves on to the next thing, the pint of ice cream. And some of it is habit, how she ALWAYS has to have dessert, specifically ice cream, and her habit of never leaving leftovers. She cant do anything without eating, that part is habit, but the eating part of it is probably bored eating. She doesnt have a job, no REAL friends, she doesnt really connect, or try to connect with people, she doesnt have hobbies or interests.
