Q. If one were wanting to develop a binge eating disorder, how would they do it. What would they have to do to develop it?
A. A binge eating disorder does not appear all of a sudden. Instead, it build up over time. Firstly, you might have experienced some traumatic event or just feeling really stressed out lately. When you are stressed out, you eat more. Eating releases "feel good" hormones into your brain and provides a distraction against the outside world because you're too busy concentrating on how good the food tastes to be able to think about anything else. You eat far beyond the point of actual physical hunger. Your stomach may feel completely bloated, yet it's like your body is on automatic and you just can't stop eating. Some people have even passed out from it. Then, when you finally stop, you start feeling horribly guilty. You try to purge the excess calories by overexercising, laxatives or vomiting. Problem solved! Only... it isn't. Eating may have temporarily distracted you, but it does nothing to solve the actual problem. The root of the problem is still there and so you binge again. And you purge. And you binge. And you purge. It's a vicious cycle.. It does not matter what the food you are eating (I used to binge on carrot sticks), only the desire to escape and the guilt that follows afterwards. Not all people purge. Some just compulsively overeat. It's like a drug, a habit, an addiction and one which is extremely hard to break. Do not do it. Please. It may seem like a good escape route at the time, but at the end of the day, it will destroy you.

A. The best thing you can do is get your mind off of what is stressing you. Find something you enjoy to immerse your life in that will reduce your stress. If you keep yourself busy when you feel hungry, you won't feel tempted to binge eat. Plus you should also eat lots of small meals through out the day so you never feel hungry resulting in you giving in to your binge.

What should I do after my binge eating days?
Q. I just ate A LOT yesterday. So much so that my stomach is still sore. Anyway, my question is what exactly should I do now? I tried to look into this, but have gotten mixed answers.
One says to restrict myself the next few days to few calories. Another says to act as though as nothing has happened. What should I do?
Also what should I do when I "feel" I need to eat. I need to tackle this problem as a whole. What can I do stop this binge eating habit?

A. Start eating more vegetables and some fruit (not a lot). I'd also recommend seeing a chiropractor to make sure that you system is working properly. They may be able to help with motility throughout your GI tract. If things move faster, you shouldn't feel as full all the time then.
But eating more veggies should help.
