Stress and fatigue could be the primary factors leading to binge eating. Other negative emotions like unhappiness, anger and jealousy could also make you overeat. Binge eating lasts for about two hours but most binge eaters binge on and off during the entire day. This disorder usually takes place even if you are not hungry and continues long after you have had your fill. Most binge eaters stuff themselves with food, rarely tasting or relishing their food.
Binge eaters never exercise, hence making them obese and overweight. Due to this they generally become depressed and are filled with guilt and disgust. They tend to get worried about what will happen to them because of their habit and beat themselves up for lack of self-control. Binge eating is not restricted to women only but also affects a number of men. This disorder usually develops during late adolescence and early adulthood.
