Binge eating disorder:  Binge eating disorder is an eating disorder closely linked to Bulimia.  It describes someone who sufferer periods of binge eating, but does not do anything afterwards to try to purge the food they have eaten.  Sufferers are generally overweight and may be dangerously obese.  Some studies have found that many of those who struggle with being overweight may show signs of binge eating disorder

Binge eating disorder, like Bulimia, follows clear cycles or patterns.  Sufferers have usually tried everything they can think of in order to lose weight, often going on every diet they hear about.  However, recovery involves gaining an understanding of the patterns of eating and emotion that underlie the eating disorder.  Recovery is possible, but it does not come from another kind of diet!
