Binge-eating is seen as eating disorder
It is recognized as growing health problem in U.S.


[snip story]

You know, it's funny how people seem to mainly binge on sweets and salty,
highly processed carbs. So... the obesity epidemic is caused by "underlying
mental disorders" that play out because of an "overabundance of unhealthy
food and poor exercise habits."

But it's funny that for most of us who *used* to binge, at least
occasionally, keeping the carbohydrate content of our diet fairly low seems
to pretty much stop that behavior. It returns when we start eating too many
carbs, though. So how can it be all in our heads? We seem to have a lot of
health professionals who are missing the boat in a major way, don't we?

I agree with you on that sweet and salty highly processed carbs are the main
reason why many or us and myself end up eating more than we thought we would /
could! Some psychiatrists / psychotherapists thinks that binging are often
associated with a feeling of emptiness. I guess it's a combo of psychological
and physical problems. I wouldn't call it mental though - calling someone sad
and calling someone mad are very very different in my opinion.

Chemical inbalances are the cause of many behavior problems/mental disorders.
Binge-eating is just one of many. It's a fine edge between selfcontrol and
over the top, whether it's sex, drugs, anger, eating, etc. And, don't forget,
it works the other way, too. Some people are just born with the chemistry to
be even natured, tolerant, happy-go-lucky, and able to stop at just one
doughnut. Just ask any nurse who works in a newborn nursery.

The older I get the more I see that we have to live with and conquer the hand
we were dealt at birth and I have grown so less judgemental of people's
behavior. Loving tolerance and forgiveness to help myself and others when we
slip.

Hen.
