Raj is a 14-year-old, school-going adolescent. His room is his world – he studies, sleeps, chats with friends, and listens to music, all from his room. It looks like a typical bedroom, except for what is hidden in the closet corners, and under his bed. There are stacks of chocolate bars, several packets of chips and packs of juices hidden away from his parents.
Raj has not yet finished the day’s homework, and has just gorged on a bag full of cookies and chips. He is looking for more chips to eat. He knows that he will soon feel guilty about eating all this, especially since he is overweight, but at this point he cannot control and just has to eat.
Binge eating refers to eating large amounts of food, usually much more than most people would normally eat. It is characterised by a sense of lack of control over eating when the binge eating episode occurs. Usually, people who binge-eat may avoid eating in front of others and binge in private; thus the presence of this condition may go unnoticed. Binge eating is common among adolescent and collegeage youth, and is associated with increased body fat, weight gain, and symptoms of psychological issues in childhood.
Some key features of binge eating :
• Eating much faster than normal.
• Eating until the state of feeling uncomfortably full.
• Eating large amounts of food when not feeling hungry.
• Eating alone due to embarrassment about the amount of food one is eating.
• Feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed, or guilty after eating.
