Binge eating is an eating disorder that involves consuming a large amount of food in a short period of time. This type of eating is usually done in secret, as individuals struggling with the disorder often feel embarrassed or ashamed of their behavior. During a binge eating episode, a person may feel an overwhelming sense of loss of control, in which they feel they can’t stop eating even though they know it’s unhealthy. Symptoms of binge eating disorder include eating large amounts of food in a short period of time, eating when not hungry, feeling ashamed, embarrassed or guilty about eating, and feeling out of control while eating. It is important to note that not all people who engage in occasional overeating suffer from binge eating disorder.

Binge eating is an eating disorder that is characterized by periods of uncontrolled, impulsive, or continuous eating. People who suffer from binge eating consume large amounts of food in a short period of time and often feel a sense of loss of control over their eating habits.

Binge eating is often associated with feelings of guilt, shame, and embarrassment and can have serious physical and psychological consequences. Physically, it can lead to increased risk of obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes, and other medical conditions. Psychologically, it can lead to depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

Binge eating is not the same as overeating, which is when a person eats more than is necessary for physical needs in a single sitting. Overeating may be a sign of an emotional issue, but it does not meet the criteria for a diagnosable eating disorder.

Binge eating is a serious disorder and should not be taken lightly. If you think you may have a problem with binge eating, it is important to talk to a healthcare professional to find out if you need help. Treatment options may include counseling, medication, and dietary changes.
