What is Binge Eating Disorder?

Binge eating disorder is an eating disorder in which the individual compulsively overeats, sometimes thousands of calories in one sitting. During the binge, the person feels powerless to stop eating and is often out of control. After the binge, the person usually feels embarrassment, guilt and shame. Binge eating disorder is similar to bulimia, but purging is usually not involved.

Binge Eating Disorder Signs

• Hiding or stockpiling food
• Eating alone or in secret
• Eating large amounts of food very quickly
• Inability to stop eating even when full
• Eating all through the day, not just at scheduled meal times
• A feeling of tension that only goes away when eating
• Weight gain

Left untreated, binge eating disorder can cause progressive health complications, including:

• Type 2 diabetes
• Certain types of cancer
• Sleep apnea
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure and cholesterol
• Gastrointestinal problems
• Gallbladder problems
• Joint and muscle pain
• Osteoarthritis

Binge eating disorder affects approximately two million people in the United States.

Binge Eating Disorder Treatment - Our Approach

At the Women's Treatment Center for Healthy Living, we take a multifaceted approach to binge eating disorder treatment, attacking both the emotional and physical sides of the disorder.

In our safe, peaceful residential setting, patients participate in a series of therapeutic activities, including:

Individual, group and family therapy - People with binge eating disorder face daily struggles with their emotions. Through eating disorder therapy, patients can learn how to manage stress and the powerful emotional triggers that exacerbate the habitual binging behavior. Therapy also helps patients work through past trauma and co-existing addictions or disorders, and rebuild broken relationships.

Recreation - Patients join in on recreational activities with a focus on getting healthy, reducing stress and having fun.

Art therapy - This type of expressive therapy gives patients creative ways to share their thoughts and feelings.

Diet and nutrition educational sessions - Our nutritionists and dieticians provide patients with an education about food, nourishment and how it affects the body's function. With the proper education, once a patient leaves treatment, they are better prepared to return to daily living and avoid relapsing into poor eating habits.
