A very real part of Food Addiction is binge eating disorder. This is a painful and unhealthy way to live but it can be combated. do you think about food constantly? Do you hide your eating so others don't know how much you have? Do you eat when you are not hungry and do you eat until you feel sick? You may have Binge Eating Disorder.
Also known as BED. This disorder is treated with counseling and is one of the food disorders that has the highest levels of recovery. This disorder is usually caused by an association in the person's head between food and emotions. The food no longer is viewed as something to offer sustenance and instead is viewed as relief from some emotional problem.
For example, if thing start going bad a work a person with BED will head straight for the snack machine or the left over donuts from this morning's break. They will stuff the food in their mouths so quickly that taste isn't even an option. Instead, the eating has become a way to stuff their body with something that will cover up the emptiness they feel inside.
Binge Eating Disorder can play havoc with a person's insides both emotionally and physically. If you tend to binge eat be sure to get counseling.
