Binge Eating Disorder features elements of bulimia and another eating disorder, compulsive overeating. Like bulimics, people who suffer from binge eating will devour an inordinate amount of food in a very short time, yet unlike bulimics, binge eating is not followed by a purge. Partly because of this, people with binge eating disorder are typically overweight.
Behavioral signs linked to Binge eating disorder include:
- An occasional lack of control over eating
- Binging, in one sitting, an inordinately large amount of food
- Eating despite not being hungry
- Eating until uncomfortably full
- Feeling guilt or acute self-loathing over the bingeing episode
Like compulsive overeaters, people who suffer from binge eating often do so as a mechanism for copying with a variety of emotional or psychological issues.
