Yet, they can't seem to stop what they're doing. They have distorted attitudes about eating, shape, and weight. By the time they seek treatment, many report being "out of control" and feeling "desperate."

In the vast majority of cases, we find depression present. We also see anxiety, obsessive-compulsive and impulse control problems, substance abuse, and personality disorders. People with BED disparage their bodies and feel self-conscious about their body size and/or shape. However, not everyone who has binge eating disorder is overweight

In contrast to people who struggle with bulimia, people with binge eating disorder use no compensatory behaviors like vomiting, fasting, laxatives or use of excessive exercise to counteract the effects of the overeating episodes.

Most people with BED have a long history of trying restrictive diets in an effort to "regain control." However, weight is only a symptom, not the problem. That's why any intervention that involves dieting alone is destined to fail.
