Binge Eating**
 * binge eating is eating lots of food in a short amount of time.
 * people do it when they are nervous or are under a lot of stress.
 * binge eating isn't just having an extra plate of dessert but when you over stuff yourself more then twice a week for months at a time.
 * people with binge don't usually have a disorder.
 * its mental meaning its because they want to keep eating.
 * 3.5 percent of women and 2 percent of men suffer.

People feel loss of control of eating. Most people eat more then they should from time to time. that doesn't mean they have an eating disorder. People with binge problems have: eating more then they should, unable to control what and how much they eat.


 * FEELINGS**
 * 1) Eating much more rapidly than usual.
 * 2) Eating until uncomfortably full.
 * 3) Eating large amounts of food, even when not physically hungry.
 * 4) Eating alone out of embarrassment at the quantity of food being eaten.
 * 5) Feelings of disgust, depression, or guilt after overeating.

Probably the most common eating disorder. Most people are obese by 20% from the normal body weight. Those who are at normal body weight can also be effected. it affects about 1 to 2 million percent of Americans. its even more common with those who are severly obese.
 * Who is at risk?**

Study shows that people who feel sad, angry, depressed, or boredom take into binge eating. these could trigger someone to want to eat when they are not hungry. those who diet are also prone to binge eating. Those who are not strictly obese should not diet because it could cause someone to binge eat that only wants to help them eat.
 * Where does it come from?**

Binge eaters who try to get on a weight loss diet tend to fail and regain the weight back quickly. They should get treatment before trying to diet so this does not occur. Cognitive behavior therapy helps them to monitor and change the way they rely on food. Interpersonal psychotherapy helps those with relationships or family problems to not let food rely on their source of comfort from it. Anti depressants can also try and help those with a binge problem.
