Nou ka jwi 'rekonpans' nan manje oswa sèks. Lè nou te gen ase satisfè bezwen kòporèl nou an, sèvo nou an voye yon siyal sateti di nou sispann. Lè sa a, nou ka jwenn sou ak lòt aktivite ki nesesè pou lavi chak jou. Si nou inyore siyal yo epi kontinye ale, nou ka jete kò a soti nan balans. Pou egzanp, lè nou kenbe 'bingeing' sou yon sibstans oswa konpòtman, ka mekanis sateti a dwe mete sou kenbe tanporèman. Satasyon se twòp. Nan lòt mo, sèvo nou an ka kòmanse entèprete bendeing a kòm yon bezwen 'siviv'. Li ka pèmèt nou kontinye apresye tèt nou tanporèman. Imajine yon lous anvan ibènasyon pou sezon fredi a lè li ka vale somon 20 nan yon moman san yo pa malad. Oswa konsidere sezon kwazyè nan sezon prentan an lè bèt pral chache fè fèt tankou kanmarad anpil ke posib.

We can enjoy the ‘rewards’ of food or sex. When we have had enough to meet our bodily needs, our brain sends a satiation signal telling us to stop. Then we can get on with other activities necessary for everyday living. If we ignore the signals and keep going, we can throw the body out of balance. For instance, when we keep ‘bingeing’ on a substance or behaviour, the satiation mechanism can be put on hold temporarily. Satiation is overridden. In other words, our brain can start to interpret the bingeing as a ‘survival’ need. It can then allow us to continue to indulge ourselves temporarily. Imagine a bear before hibernation for the winter when it can swallow 20 salmon at a time without being ill. Or consider mating season in the springtime when animals will seek to fertilise as many mates as possible.
