Binge Eating Disorder is described as:
                   

• Eating an excessive amount of food within a short period of time 
• Inability to regulate the amount that they take in regardless of bodily cues   
• Eating much more rapidly than normal
• Eating until feeling uncomfortably full
• Eating large amounts of food when not feeling physically hungry
• Eating alone because of being embarrassed by how much one is eating
• Feeling disgusted with oneself
• Feeling depressed after bingefeeling guilty after overeating

People with Binge Eating Disorder often feel out of control and hopeless. Feelings of shame are often associated with Binge Eating Disorder. Many will attempt highly restrictive diets to get their weight and their bingeing under control. Inevitably, however diets fail for often than not. People will binge again and then berate themselves for their failures. 

Because most people with binge eating disorder use food as a coping mechanism, they will usually self soothe by bingeing again. 
Thus, the cycle is created. 

Many believe that food rules their lives and they'll never be free from their compulsion.
