Binge-eating is seen as eating disorder

Well for me it is eating out of control in a sitting. I am not talking
about just overeating, I am talking about stuffing myself fast and furious
to the point of being very uncomfortable. Like a frenzy.

Yup, been there, done that.

Yeah, for me it is more nerves. Nervous eating and I just keep going and
going. Before I know it I am stuffed. I have gone out to eat a large
combination Mexican meal, with two orders of chips and salsa to boot and a 6
pack of beer or so and then proceed to the grocery to eat a pint of Haagan
Dazs. That is a problem. I must say, I sometimes still do that. I don't
know why. I think it starts with beer, but not always, sometimes I just
can't stop eating.

Hi Curt,

How about your personal life - can these binges be associated to the mini ups
and downs in your life?? I've been reading Irvin Yalom's books and in "Love's
Executioner", there was a case study about an overweight woman. Yalom (Stanford
prof in psychotherapy) mentioned that compulsive eating are often related to the
feeling of "emptiness". After reading that I often check with myself on how I'm
feeling when caught myself thinking about, say, donuts.
