Binge Eating


Binge eating is when people chose to eat an excessive amount of food in an extremely short period of time. Many people think binge eating is the same thing as bulimia but it isn't. Binge eating deals with people don't vomit or try other ways to get rid of calories. But they might try to limit how much food they eat between binges. Some people who binge have a normal weight, but over time, many people who have binge eating disorder gain weight and have problems from being obese. People with binge eating disorder also have depression, anxiety or other emotional problems.

*Having an eating disorder is not a sign of weakness or a character flaw like people think. And it is not something you can overcome with just willpower. Many people struggle with eating disorders for a long time. Have you known someone or heard about someone who has been involved in binge eating or any other eating disorders? If so, is it hard for you to understand why they do that?

  1. AS I read this post, I kept thinking about how I eat at special occasions like going out to eat at Duff's for wings, or Thanksgiving Pies. I wonder if I am normal or only think I am. This is probably the question for many people with issues. Did you find any sources of info that helps answer this question?

  2. Everyone wonders if their eating habits or good or bad. Also everyone cares about their weight girls more than guys but everyone worries about being over weight.
