Binge Eating

• Bingeing functioned to help managing painful feelings --- anxious, depressed, stressed out, lonely. The binge itself leads to more emotional pains.
• When one starts binges, one immediately get distracted from one's emotions and felt relief. Not too long afterward, the binge leads one to feel embarrassed and angry again.
• Bingeing does not help to solve the original problem that leads one to feel bad in the first place.
• Bingeing only solves problem in short runs, tending to make things worse in long run.
