** What Is Binge Eating? If you have asked this question, then you almost certainly have a very good reason for your question. The interest may even relate to you or to someone you love. Question One: Do you occasionally eat in a period like an hour or two much more than most other people do in similar circumstances? Question Two: If you do, then do you also get the feeling that you have little or no control over your eating during these episodes? Some examples might be feeling that you cannot control what you eat, that you cannot stop eating, or that you cannot control how much you eat. You might even experience feelings of numbness or not being aware of your eating while you are doing it. If you answered "Yes" to these two questions then you might be a Binge Eater. This problem moves well past mere emotional eating even though there are similarities. Indeed, binge eating might be considered in some ways as an extreme extension of emotional eating. Some behaviors associated with Binge Eating Episodes include the following (Source is DSM-5 Proposed Draft Revisions, accessed online): .1. Eating much faster than normal .2. Eating until feeling uncomfortably full .3. Eating large amounts of food when not feeling physically hungry .4. Eating alone because of feeling embarrassed by how much one is eating .5. Feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed, or very guilty afterwards There is even a medical/psychiatric/psychological disorder that it is possible to be diagnosed with if the binge eating episodes occur regularly enough over several months. This disorder is called, aptly enough, Binge Eating Disorder. This disorder goes beyond what I have written about here and adds some other factors that can make it far more problematic than mere occasional binge eating alone. It is also true that binge eating can be a core element in even worse medically
Slide 2: diagnosable eating disorders.
** Why Should Weight Loss Dieters Care about Binge Eating? The obvious answer for the weight loss dieter is that bingeing is very likely to make you fatter and over time is a major cause of obesity. Some of the health problems associated with obesity include diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis, gallbladder disease, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, and much more. If that is not enough to make you want to avoid or resolve bingeing behaviors, it is also true that binge eating is often associated with anxiety, depression, abuse of substances, stress, insomnia, and even suicidal thoughts. There should be no doubt that if we add these to the commonly associated health problems of obesity, that we have the clear potential for an extremely vicious risk cycle. And all this is before we even consider the possibility of the more dangerous medically diagnosable eating disorders associated with binge eating that can compound the problem even more. If you think you might be subject to binge eating problems seek the advice of an appropriate mental health professional and/or medical professional. It could not only help you lose that fat weight but it might save your life. So, if you are a weight loss dieter then you certainly need to be aware of the dangers that this problem can create. Beside that, there are also certain specific causes that, as a weight loss dieter, you will want to know about.
