According to Wikipedia.com, Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a psychiatric disorder with the following symptoms:

• Periodically does not exercise control over consumption of food.
• Eats an unusually large amount of food at one time — more than a normal person would eat in the same amount of time.
• Eats much more quickly during binge episodes than during normal eating episodes.
• Eats until physically uncomfortable and physically feels like they’re on the verge of throwing up due to the outrageous amount of food just consumed.
• Eats when depressed, sad, or bored.
• Eats large amounts of food even when not really hungry.
• Usually eats alone during binge eating episodes, in order to avoid discovery of the disorder.
• Often eats alone during periods of normal eating, owing to feelings of embarrassment about food.
• Feels disgusted, depressed, or guilty after binge eating.

Do any or all of these symptoms describe you? If not, the ideas and techniques I plan to share will still be of value to you if you’re trying to change your habits, lose weight, improve your health, and/or learn to cope with difficult situations.

As for me all of the above bullets used to be accurate. And it is not fun, trust me.
