Binge eating
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Binge eating is when people suddenly feel the urge to eat much more than is healthy. Many people binge eat at some point in their life.[source?]
If binge eating becomes a pattern, this is an eating disorder. People who suffer from this have a high risk of weight gain. They may feel ashamed of their eating habits and become depressed. People who binge and then purge (usually by vomiting) have a different eating disorder called bulimia.
