What is Bing Eating Disorder? In order to achieve quick weight loss, binge eating is a very common choice among obese people. Binge eating disorder is characterized by consuming large quantities of food in a very short period of time until the individual is uncomfortably full.

• The person binge eats frequently and repeatedly
  
• Feels guilty and ashamed of binge eating
  
• People who have binge eating disorder do not regularly vomit, overexercise, or abuse laxatives like bulimics do.
  
• They may be genetically predisposed to weigh more than the cultural ideal, so they diet, make themselves hungry, and then binge in response to that hunger. Alternatively, they may eat for emotional reasons.
