Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder, yet it’s often misunderstood. It’s not just about eating large amounts of food—it can also be about the loss of control, secrecy, and emotional aftermath that come with it.

In today’s video, I’ll walk you through 5 signs of BED so you can better understand whether what you’re going through fits the pattern—and what steps you might consider next.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

• The difference between overeating and binge eating disorder

• Why eating when not hungry can be driven by emotions, not physical need

• How urgency and speed around food can be a red flag

• Why secrecy and eating alone often point to shame, not just habit

• The emotional aftermath of binges—guilt, distress, and hopelessness—and how this fuels the cycle

If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle of eating, regret, and shame, this video is for you. The good news is that binge eating disorder is treatable—and recovery is possible.
