Binge eating can turn into a severe condition if not handled quickly.
If you suspect you fall into this category, then talk to a qualified medical professional to make sure.
What’s Binge Eating Exactly?
Binge eating is rapidly consuming large amounts of food in one sitting beyond the point of being full, to the point of discomfort.
While we don’t know the exact causes, WebMD suggests that it isn’t driven by hunger, but by psychological issues. Issues like rejection, inadequacy, or fear of failure.
Binge Eating Can Be Harmful
After binging, there are physical and emotional consequences. Sometimes, these can be dramatic. The individual will be dealing with feelings of anxiety and depression, as well as self-hatred and shame.
It’s a vicious cycle because these same feelings can be the triggers of a binge. Continuing binge eating behavior increases feelings of sadness, anger, loneliness, and depression.
