Binge Eating

is similar to bulimia except that the person does not get rid of the food after eating.

The key features of binge eating disorder are: Frequent episodes of uncontrollable binge eating. Feeling extremely distressed or upset during or after bingeing.

Binge Eating;

May be comforting for a brief moment, but then reality sets back in, along with regret and self-loathing. Binge eating often leads to weight gain and obesity, which only reinforces compulsive eating. The worse a binge eater feels about themself and their appearance, the more they use food to cope. It becomes a vicious cycle: eating to feel better, feeling even worse, and then turning back to food for relief.

Behavioral symptoms of binge eating and compulsive overeating Inability to stop eating or control what you’re eating Rapidly eating large amounts of food Eating even when you’re full Hiding or stockpiling food to eat later in secret Eating normally around others, but gorging when you’re alone Eating continuously throughout the day, with no planned mealtimes

Emotional symptoms of binge eating and compulsive overeating Feeling stress or tension that is only relieved by eating Embarrassment over how much you’re eating Feeling numb while bingeing—like you’re not really there or you’re on auto-pilot. Never feeling satisfied, no matter how much you eat Feeling guilty, disgusted, or depressed after overeating Desperation to control weight and eating habits

Effects Of Bingeing

Binge eating leads to a wide variety of physical, emotional, and social problems. People with binge eating disorder report more health issues, stress, insomnia, and suicidal thoughts than people without an eating disorder. Depression, anxiety, and substance abuse are common side effects as well. But the most prominent effect of binge eating disorder is weight gain.

While there are many things you can do to help yourself stop binge eating, it’s also important to seek professional support and treatment. Health professionals who offer treatment for binge eating disorder include psychiatrists, nutritionists, therapists, and eating disorder and obesity specialists. An effective treatment program for binge eating disorder should address more than just your symptoms and destructive eating habits. It should also address the root causes of the problem—the emotional triggers that lead to binge eating and your difficulty coping with stress, anxiety, fear, sadness, and other uncomfortable emotions.
