According to Wikipedia, binge eating is a pattern of disordered eating which consists of episodes of uncontrollable eating. During binges, a person rapidly consumes an excessive quantity of food.

Binge eating is an eating disorder that makes you to over eat several times a day. It also means eating when you are not hungry and continuing to eat even after you are full.

Every disorder has symptoms and the following are some symptoms of binge eating disorder:

• a) Inability to stop eating

• b) Eating a lot of food when you are alone, but eating normal amount of food when people are around.

• c) Hiding food to eat in secret

• d) Feeling embarrassed over how much you are eating

• e) Stress or discomfort that can only be relieved by eating a lot of food

• f) Never feeling satisfied while eating

• g) Rapidly eating large amount of food

• h) Thinking about food all the time

• i) Waking up in the middle of the night to eat, eat, and eat.

Binge eating disorder may sound harmless because it seems the only problem is can cause is the flimsy problem of depleting the food in the house in a very short time.

However, other than the social, emotional and difficulty that it causes, binge eating can also lead to complications that could be fatal e.g.
