| How to identify binge eating |

(NC)Individuals with binge eating disorders eat vastly excessive amounts of food at one time. They do this for two reasons:
They are very hungry because they have been dieting or restricting their eating. The binge is a response to that hunger. They over-eat to comfort themselves, to avoid uncomfortable situations, or to numb their feelings. The binge is an attempt to soothe themselves emotionally. Symptoms of binge eating disorder include: Eating extremely large amounts of food frequently and in one sitting. Feeling out of control and unable to stop eating. Eating quickly and in secret. Feeling painfully full after eating. Feeling depressed, guilty and ashamed of the binges. More information and help for binge eating are available from the at www.nedic.ca |
