This is a support group for those who struggle with Binge-Eating Disorder, and Compulsive Overeating. Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
is an eating disorder that is characterized by recurrent episodes
of binge eating without the use of measures to counter the binge eating like purging. It accounts for approximately 1-5% of the general population.
Symptoms include frequent episodes of consuming extremely large quantities of food until feeling sick, but does not include self-induced vomiting after. Typically, one will feel out of control while binging, and commonly will feel extreme shame after. BED is a very serious Eating Disorder that leads to obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, depression, and many other health issues.
Those who struggle with frequent episodes of binge eating are
also welcome. We are not professionals, and cannot diagnose
anybody. There will be no judging, and all unsupportive comments
will be removed.
