What is Binge Eating Disorder?
Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a complex eating disorder characterized by recurring episodes of consuming large quantities of food in a short period, often accompanied by feelings of loss of control and distress. – Diagnostic Manual
Binge Eating is destroying your well-being
Weight Gain: Frequent episodes of consuming large amounts of food lead to weight gain and obesity.
Chronic Pain: The strain on your body from overeating can result in chronic pain and discomfort.
Depression & Anxiety: Binge Eating Disorder is closely linked to mood disorders. The cycle of overeating and guilt exacerbates feelings of depression and anxiety.
Isolation: Shame and embarrassment often accompany BED. You may isolate yourself socially, avoiding events or gatherings due to anxiety about eating behaviors.
Suicidal Thoughts: The emotional burden of BED can lead to thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
Common Binge Eating Triggers
Emotional stress
A high-pressure work environment, constant deadlines, and the need to balance work and personal life can trigger emotional stress. This often leads to binge eating late at night after a stressful day, using food as a way to unwind and cope with anxiety. Feelings of being overwhelmed and guilty after binge eating can further add to stress levels.
Trauma
Flashbacks of past trauma, feelings of loneliness, and reminders of difficult childhood experiences can trigger binge eating. This behavior is often used as a way to numb emotional pain and distract from traumatic memories. Feelings of isolation and shame about eating habits can perpetuate a cycle of binge eating and self-loathing.
Psychological Issues
Negative self-talk, perfectionism, and feelings of inadequacy can trigger psychological issues that lead to binge eating. This behavior often occurs when one feels they haven’t met their own high standards or experiences setbacks. The constant need to be perfect and using food to cope with feelings of failure and inadequacy can drive this cycle.
But It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way
