I used to be skipping breakfast and avoiding heavy lunch.
So when I used to reach home in the night, I used to binge on my food like anything. That caused me to gain a lot of weight.

Binge eating can be because of various reasons ,
* hypothalamus may not be sending signals about fullness and hunger, and causing serotonin level to fall, leading to compulsive eating.
*depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, and body dissatisfaction, unability to express oneself, are involved in compulsive overeating.
*Social pressure to be thin can add to the shame binge eaters feel and fuel their emotional eating.

Please take balanced food, eat your meals in time, dont skip any meal. and in case you feel hungry , keep healthy food items handy.

Binge eating leads to a wide variety of physical, emotional, and social problems. People with binge eating disorder report more health issues, stress, insomnia, and suicidal thoughts than people without an eating disorder. Depression, anxiety, and substance abuse are common side effects as well. Binge eating also interferes with a person’s relationships and career. For example, you may skip work, school, or social activities in order to binge eat. But the most prominent effect of binge eating disorder is weight gain.

I truly agree with Payal and Archana...

Binge eating, or emotional eating, can also be very subtle. It can be manifested in eating beyond the point you are full because the food it there, snacking often, etc. It can also be on healthy food. As long as we are eating without regard to true physical hunger, we are feeding emotions: boredom, disappointment, pressure, happiness, whatever...it is so common, I think we may just pick it up from home as we grow up.
