Binge eating disorder

A disorder where an individual eats an excessive amount of food in a short period of time and during these episodes feels as if they have no control. A lot of people describe it as a compulsion, binge eating disorder is an illness which is often overlooked and even ignored. It is a lot like bulimia but the individual doesnt participate in activities to 'rid themselves' of the food. This does not mean they don't feel guilt or regret.

Binge eating disorder is also known as BED

Binge eating disorder

Something I have.
No, it's not lack of control.
No, it's not eating as much as you can.
No, it doesn't include guilt or regret (when eating).

People who have this disorder might be:
Depressed
other important mental health issues
Bored (like me)
or others

My family: *switches off the internet*
Me: I'm bored
Me: *starts binge eating*

Life lesson: don't switch off the internet or binge eating disorder will happen
