Agreed. I struggle with BED myself, and people seem to assume it's always an overweight person eating an entire box of cookies.  While some binges are indulgent as such, typically someone with BED knows they have a problem and so avoid buying that sort of stuff all together and apply counter active methods as you've mentioned. I'm underweight, myself.  Binge eating can be eating pizza out of the garbage. I've once eaten plain, unsugared puffed wheat (without milk) until I physically couldn't anymore just because I didn't want my family to know I was binging. Same with unflavoured oatmeal.
