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.

How do I stop my binge eating habit?
Q. I have a problem with binge eating junk food.
When it comes to meals, like pasta or meat, I don't have a problem eating the right amount, but when I try to eat just a bit of desserts or chips and stuff like that I can't stop.
I'm not huge, i'm 155 pounds, but i'm afraid that I'll go down the path of obesity if I don't fix this.
Do you guys have any tips?

A. I have the same problem too!
I heard if you eat a 100 calorie piece of dark chocolate every day it helps curb your craving for salty and sweet food, making you eat less of it. I've also heard if you eat peppermint right after dinner it curbs your appetite and you'll eat less dessert. I'm going to try the peppermint thing soon, since it's got less calories than the chocolate. It's good to indulge every once in a while. One day of overeating won't cause you to gain more weight. It's only if you do it all the time.
You could google home remedies of ways to curb your appetite so you don't binge eat junk food (just don't do it with the rest of the foods you eat if you don't have a problem with them :P)
