How to Get Rid of Binge Eating Disorder

People with Binge eating disorder experience frequent episodes of out-of-control eating with the same Binge-Eating symptoms as those with Bulimia. The main difference is that individuals with Binge Eating disorders do not purge their bodies of excess calories. Therefore, many with the disorder are over-weight for their age and height. It is a vicious cycle - feelings of self disgust and shame associated with this illness can lead to Bingeing again, creating a cycle of Binge eating.
