5.Binge Eating Symptom: Weight Change
It’s not uncommon for someone with binge eating disorder to have weight fluctuations because of attempts to diet between bingeing episodes. But until the bingeing behavior is under control, weight loss efforts are unlikely to be successful in the long term.
6.Diagnosing Binge Eating Disorder
Most binge eaters hide their overeating, even from close family members, so getting a diagnosis can be difficult. One sign is a history of bingeing at least once weekly for the last 3 months. Diagnosis may also include a physical exam and a discussion of eating patterns, medical history, and family history.
