Binge Eating Disorder - Binge eating disorder is an eating disorder where someone consumes large amounts of food frequently and feels that they are unable to stop eating. This is not the same as having a second or third helping of your favourite meal once in a blue moon. For some people, overeating happens often and can make the person feel they have no control. They may feel embarrassed but won't be able to resist the urge and will continue binge eating.
