Do you suffer from compulsive eating? Do feel like you are under duress to eat even without any need for it. Do you eat when you feel over-full or when you don’t feel hungry?  Do you eat and eat, frequently without satisfaction; so much so that you even feel sick or your tummy starts to hurt as if it would burst? If you are experiencing those, you are likely binge eating.

 

Are you frequently terrified about the possible effect of too much eating on your health, desperate to stop yet feel incapacitated?

You may secretly enter the kitchen when others are fast asleep.  It may include munching a huge amount of food alone in your car. It can mean constantly selecting foods and eating all day. It could be huge quantities of junk food. It can sometimes be nutritious foods.

What exactly is binge eating?

Binge eating involves the habit of consuming huge amount of food in a hysterical and/or hasty way, and usually consuming more after you are satiated. Binge eating is not provoked by the usual natural physiological feeling of hunger.

 

National Eating Disorder Association defined binge eating disorder as the recurring episodes of binge eating without the standard use of compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise or the use of laxatives to get rid of the food from your body. If you are suffering from binge eating disorder, chances are you are experiencing overpowering impulses that compels you to binge on food, irrespective of your attempts to restrain the urges.

Most people with binge eating disorder confirm their feeling of lack of control during binge episodes. They feel a bit insensible during such episodes that they eat when they are already satiated. Binge eating is not just caused by lack of self control. It is motivated by a mixture of psychological issues like fear of failure or rejection, unfulfilled expectations or contemptible feelings. It can also result from biological and environmental issues.

Binge eating may be impulsive or strategic. You may not have the urge to purge to food, but may engage in fasting or dieting sporadically. You’d be commonly diagnosed of binge eating disorder (BED) when you experience binge eating episodes roughly at least once every week for three months. Sometimes too, it may be diagnosed if you experience it roughly a minimum of two times a week for a period of six months. Even when you experience binge episodes at a slower rate, binge eating can be a severe issue.

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is normally associated with compulsive overeating or consumption of unusual amounts of food whilst feeling powerless to stop and usually going out of control. Binge eating does not constitute the food-treats you get at your family thanksgiving day or with your Christmas dinner. It also does not constitute taking a second dish of your favorite ice cream flavor; neither does it constitute eating too much of fried chicken when you visit a family member or a friend.

Binge eating is something you frequently want to hide from friends. You want to conceal the habit for fear of being humiliated; you bury it within you much like never-ending muggy wrapping heaved away in garbage bins.

Binge eating is a severe disorder. It affects three to five percent of American men and women. Binge eating disorder is three times more widespread than the combination of the other two types of eating disorder; anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.

Binge eating disorder commonly results to unwanted weight gain or obesity, which can ultimately result to extra compulsive eating. However, it can also occur in individuals with normal weight. You may be surprised to know that there are some bodybuilders and coaches who are caught up in this vicious cycle of compulsive eating. 

 

Scott Abel, for instance, testified in his book, the Cycle Diet that he lost fifty lbs in twelve weeks, when he was preparing for bodybuilding competition. After he had won, he binged on food and regained all the lost weight within a space of one week.

 

Binge eating disorder can make you struggle with emotions of disgust and guilt. It frequently results to co-morbid psychological conditions like depression or anxiety. The pessimistic feelings that commonly accompany binge eating make you to frequently resort to food as a coping mechanism. This submerges you into a series of vicious cycle.
