Binge eating disorder

Ever felt that your eating habits are out of control?
Do you feel guilty after eating big meals?
Are you unable to stop eating although you aren’t satisfied with your body image?

Binge eating disorder is a disorder that results in eating large amounts of food without having control on ones eating habits. People with binge eating disorder usually eats large amounts of food, continue eating even after they become full, eat even if not feeling hungry and sometimes become embarrassed to eat in front of others because of the usually large amounts they eat.

Dealing with Binge eating disorder

You might be thinking that losing weight is the right thing you need to do but it’s not true. Even if you followed a diet and even if you lost weight the binge eating habit will bring you back the pounds you lost. The first thing you should do is getting rid of the habit itself and not the extra weight, because this extra weight will disappear on its own when your eating habits change.

You must also ask yourself one important question, do I eat in order to improve my mood? A friend of mine once told me that whenever he faces a problem or feels stressed he rushes to the refrigerator!! I am not saying that the cause of binge eating is external dependency but I am sure that you will find yourself in most times eating in order to forget about something else. Before each meal, ask yourself these questions:

1)Am I eating in order to forget about my other personal problems?
2)Will this double cheese burger help me fix those problems?
3)Am I escaping? And if yes, will this escapement help?

Researchers have found that half of the people having binge eating disorder have a history of depression. Could binge eating be an escapement mechanism your mind follows whenever the creepy mood approaches it?

Food can raise your serotonin level and can provide you with other hormones that can make you happy, that’s why some people feel happy after eating certain types of food. But by doing so you aren’t solving the problem, you are just escaping.

Final words about binge eating

The cause of binge eating is still not unknown but at least you can know if you are eating to live or eating to escape. This world is tough; people who try to escape usually end broken or depressed. If you want to achieve your goals or make your dreams come true then you should search for any other identity other than someone who runs away from his problems instead of solving them.
