Binge Disorder
Bingeing – according to the dictionary – is a period of excessive indulgence in an activity, especially drinking alcohol or eating. It is splurging and overindulgence, this shows that bingeing is not a normal situation. Over the years bingeing had included other activities apart from eating like excessive shopping and excessive watching. It is good to note that these activities (binge eating, drinking, watching and shopping) are all to cover up issues, bingeing is mostly mental/physical disorder and an escape route from some negative emotions. When there is a compulsion to do any activity in excess, check it. Some physical signs to note includes : - Eating much more rapidly than usual - Eating until feeling uncomfortably full - Eating large amounts of food when not feeling hungry - Eating alone because of the embarrassment at the large quantities consumed Binge happens within a short period and it is attached with so much guilt after the act.
