Overcoming binge eating can be very difficult without help. It is a more serious problem than people realise and is as a result often overlooked in favour of conditions that are perceived to be more serious. However, binge eating or comfort eating can have a serious affect on your health and lead to serious medical conditions.
Binge eating episodes are associated with a number of different situations, often referred to as triggers. If you eat until you feel so full you are uncomfortable or if you eat large amounts when you are not actually physically hungry. Perhaps you eat faster than you ought to or you eat alone through embarrassment or feel depressed and guilty when you have eaten. If you carry out any of these things then you have a problem and should look to try to reshape your habits to combat it.
Binge eating or comfort eating is often marked by distress and will occur at least two days a week for at months and months, perhaps more. This can lead to serious physical problems and massive weight gain which in turn can cause heart problem. It is important to get to the bottom of why you feel so depressed and guilty.
It is often a serious problem because people get into a vicious cycle whereby they feel depressed and so turn to food to comfort them and then they begin to feel even worse due to what they are doing. Food becomes their drug and an addiction sets in which causes weight gain, again leading to a lowering of confidence and self esteem which continued to affect your mental state of mind.
Everything needs to be taken on step at a time and the final goal needs to be to eat normally and healthily. It is necessary that you look for help from professionals who can help you to understand what the larger problems are associated with the disorder.
Seek counselling from professionals who can help you get over your depression and also look to family members and support groups to lend that helping hand at home. Keep trying until you find a method that works for you.
