Binge Eating Disorder Binge eating disorder occurs when a person
has frequent episodes of eating very large amounts of food
within a couple of hours (a binge). People who have binge eating
disorder feel out of control and upset, guilty, or depressed
about their binging. People with binge eating disorder often eat
when they are not hungry or eat for emotional reasons, and they
may eat until they are painfully full. They often are secretive
about their eating and eat alone because they are embarrassed
about how much they eat. People with binge eating disorder may
try to restrict their food intake, but unlike people with
bulimia, they don't vomit or try other ways to get rid of
calories after a binge. Over time, many people who have binge
eating disorder gain weight and have health problems related to
being overweight. But some people who binge have a normal
weight. eMedicineHealth Medical Reference from Healthwise To
