Recently came across this eating disorder…it’s a pretty common one actually, so just read these symptoms and see if you suffer from any of these.
- Periodically does not exercise control over consumption of food.
- Eats an unusually large amount of food at one time, far more than an average 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 nauseated due to the amount of food just consumed.
- Eats when depressed 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.
- Rapid weight gain, and/or sudden onset of obesity.
