If you or someone you know are frequently eating large amounts of food past the point of comfort or feeling full, feel like you lose control of how much you eat, feel embarrassed or disgusted with the amount of food eaten, and feel depressed or guilty after overeating you may want to learn more information about an eating disorder called binge eating disorder. Unlike bulimia nervosa, the person doesn’t purge by vomiting or using laxatives after the “binge.”
Did you know that 1-2 million people in the United States have this disorder? It is a concerning to me because people with this disorder suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, gallbladder disease, heart disease, shortness of breath, some types of cancer, menstrual problems, tiredness, obesity and sleep problems.
If you have a problem there is help. Student Health Services located in 221 SC offers counseling and can be contacted at 863-8876. Additional information can be found at www.eatright.org www.anad.org www.nationaleatingdisorders.org
