We see the term BINGE here a lot. But how many know that it is a real medical disorder and has a definition with qualifying statements.

B.E.D.—- Adult Binge Eating Disorder
People experiencing BED symptoms binge eat an average of at least once a week for three months.. they feel out of control and are unable to stop.

Symptoms that must be present.include regularly eating far more food than most people would.in a similar time period and under similar circumstances.

Feeling out of control and feeling upset with your binge eating.

3 or more of the following must also be present: Eating fast, eating beyond being full, eating large amounts when not even hungry, eating alone to hide how much they are eating and, feeling bad about yourself after.

I recognize that many people here do fall into this eating disorder category. For those people who have not already addressed this issue from a mental health perspective, maybe some professional help might bring some relief from this roller coaster ride.

Really good information. Thank you. Sadly, I do see that I have been exactly there in the past. Thankfully, it isn't me anymore. Now I can feast and enjoy but stop before I am totally sick... Sick of myself in every way.

Thank you, I never binge ate and didn't understand it when people would say they were binge eating.

Thanks for the information! Was glad to see I don't actually binge. Years ago I remember we used to say "I pigged out" if we overate on the weekend or in the evening. I think that is a more accurate description of what I do once in awhile.

They binge 7 days out of 90? Curious.......

Srossca— I doubt that a true bigger only does it 7 out of 90 days. It is a baseline, a minimum For diagnostic purposes.
