If I'm showing fat sympathy, feel free to slap me down, but to me, true, actual  BED is a terrible thing and it can kill. I know a kid from school who ruptured his stomach because he was on a binge. He literally could not stop himself and nearly died as a result. It wasn't a conscious thing, he totally lost control and could not stop it. The happy ending of that is, he sought help and is now a healthy weight, he's just super careful about what he keeps in the house. It's scary though. BED =/=eating too much cos you're a fattie
