-
- Personal Journals
If you have binge eating disorder, please know that you’re not alone. (BED) is actually the most common eating disorder. It affects about 3.5 percent of women and 2 percent of men. Jen Levin has bravely shared her journey on her kick-ass blog Finding My Inner Bombshell. In this week's episode, she breaks down the disease and how she manages it today.
According to the National Eating Disorders, BED is a severe, life-threatening, and treatable eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food, often very quickly and to the point of discomfort. Some symptoms are feeling a loss of control during the binge; experiencing shame, distress, or guilt afterwards; and regularly using unhealthy compensatory measures to counter the binge-eating.
Please contact the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) helpline at 800-931-2237 if you believe you or someone you love are struggling with an eating disorder and need help.
For crisis situations, text "NEDA" to 741741 to be connected with a trained volunteer at Crisis Text Line.
