Binge eating disorder probably affects millions and is the newest recognized eating disorders and perhaps even the most common. While people with Bulimia are perfect examples of binge eating however it is rare for people with binge eating disorders to purge (self-induced vomiting) or use laxatives or diuretics.

Now just because someone overeats, this does not mean they suffer from binge eating disorder. Some victims of binge eating disorder may show behaviors or have feelings such as:

• They eat faster than usual.
• Eat in privacy (usually over guilt and embarrassment about how much food is being consumed)
• They often feel they cannot control how much they eat.
• They will frequently eat when they are not hungry.
• Episodes of eating large quantities of food.
• Frequent feelings of disgust, self-hate or guilt after eating.

More common in women than men but lots of men do suffer from it.

Most sufferers of binge eating are obese and is slightly more common in females than males. It is even more common in those who suffer from severe obesity. This disorder can be very difficult for those who have it and many who attempt to try and control it usually fail.

There are times where victims may not attend social functions, school or even work so they be in privacy to binge eat. Many feel embarrassed and ashamed and conceal their problem from others thus making them feel isolated and even depressed.

Since so many binge eaters are preoccupied about their body weight and size, they may avoid or be absent from family gatherings or social functions. Most times than few, close friends and family members of the sufferer are unaware of the disorder.
