Your Friends Are Important Most times you talk to your friends about why you are overweight. You don’t know why, you say. They are just as stumped as you are. They see what you eat and it is small portions. Not even unhealthy foods most of the time. But what they don’t know is that you have Binge eating disorder. You have something that is constantly looming over your head – food. Food is a dream and a nightmare mixed into one. Food makes you feel better and then makes you feel worthless the very next minute. You don’t want to let your friends into your secret world though. This is your world and they will not understand. They may just tell you to stop eating so much. They won’t understand. There are many options of treatments a person suffering from binge eating can adopt. It includes medications, psychological treatment and support treatments for inpatient and outpatient. Which type of treatment you want, understand that you must desist from binge and night eating habits. Being alone cannot solve binge eating; instead you need to be in the company of people.
