Binge Eating Disorder
CHECKLIST
Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder in the United States.
An estimated 3.5% of women, 2% of men, and 30% to 40% of those seeking weight loss treatments can be clinically diagnosed with binge eating disorder.
Binge eating disorder is characterized by recurring episodes of binge eating, feeling out of control while binging, and feeling guilt and shame afterward.
A “binge” can vary widely in the amount of food consumed. While it might mean a considerable amount for some, it can mean a smaller amount for others.
Regardless of the amount of food eaten, the person still feels out of control to stop, with distress following the episode.
Check any that apply to you. Bring this checklist to your next session to discuss your responses.
Binge eating disorder is characterized by several behavioral and emotional signs:
Recurrent episodes of binge eating occurring at least once a week for three months
Eating a larger amount of food than normal during a short time frame (any two-hour period)
Lack of control over eating during the binge episode (feeling you can’t stop eating or control what or how much you are eating)

Eating large amounts of food when not physically hungry
