Binge eating is a disorder common among obese adults. Binge eaters feel they can’t stop eating once they start. Often triggered by stress and unwanted emotions, binging is something that can be controlled with the right help and support.
Talk openly and honestly with your doctor if you have signs of a binge eating disorder. Ask for help and be willing to do what it takes to overcoming binge eating and regain control over food.
It is just as important to avoid dieting as it is to avoid binge eating when trying to overcome this disease. Trying to drastically reduce your calories or omitting food groups while learning to overcome binge eating may send you into a yo-yo dieting pattern where you will gain and lose weight repeatedly, without any benefits to your health.
