I have never been a binge eater, so I don't understand it. But I know many, many people struggle with it so I thought perhaps we could talk about it here. Perhaps someone else is in the same position as my friend.
I have a friend who is a binge eater and she wants very much to lose weight. She has tried for the past week to get on plan. She does well during the day but then goes home and binges. She says she'll eat a whole bag of potato chips hating herself the whole time even if she is not hungry.
I keep telling her she needs to eat more during the day at regular intervals so that she is not starving when she gets home. Is this good advice? She wonders if she needs to seek psychiatric help.
What does one do about binge eating?
