What is the difference between over-eating and binge eating?

What will be an ideal response?


Suggested response:
? Most of us over-eat at one point or another; for example, the
Thanksgiving holiday meal;
? Binge eating is distinguished by the quantity of food consumed within a
specific time that is larger than the amount that most people would
consume during a similar time and circumstance, and the person feels out
of control during the eating binge;
? There may be an underlying emotional or psychological component
associated with an eating disorder (and the consequences of binges).
