Binge Eating Disorder is the most common eating disorder in the United
States affecting nearly 3 million people, yet it often goes undiagnosed.
A person with Binge Eating Disorder eats an unusually large amount of food in a short amount of time, at least once a week for three months.
A binge eating episode is characterized by:
• Eating unusually larger amounts of food than most people would eat in a two-hour period of time.
• Feeling that your eating behavior is out of control. Like you can’t stop eating or control what and how much you eat.
The binge-eating episodes are associated with at least three of the following:
• Eating more rapidly than normal.
• Eating until you're uncomfortably full.
• Eating large amounts of food even when you're full or not hungry.
• Eating alone or in secret because of feeling embarrassed about the amount of food you eat.
• Feeling disgusted, ashamed, guilty, or upset about your eating
• Frequently dieting, possibly without weight loss
