Coming February we are deep in winter, short days and combined with the frosty temperatures can reach us for convenience foods our favorite. Warm, creamy soups, stews rich, hot chocolate, it feels like the cold outside, the more we want inside and eat ... and eat, and eat.
For most of us, sometimes exaggerated, if the food is just continuing, perhaps eating promising better future. But for some people it is not so easy. For those who suffer from binge eating disorder (BED), exuberance brings deep feelings of shame and self-hatred. People with the disease feel they lose control when they eat; You can also eat too fast, eat over feeling full to the point where they are uncomfortable, and hide their bother of others. In other words, meals and snacks will be fields of physical and emotional stress of mines.
So, how do you know if you are a casual dinner, or could there be something more serious in the game, like eating throats? To find out, ask yourself the following questions:
Has regular use a lot more food than most people in a similar period?
I feel out of control during an episode of bingeing?
Do I feel very angry compulsive after eating?
I am binged at least once a week for the last three months?
If you answered "yes" to these questions, it might be time to have a conversation with your family doctor about your relationship with the food. They are not alone: BED is more common than anorexia and bulimia combined, the most common eating disorder in Canada and affects both men and women. It is a "choice" or "phase"; It is a serious condition that is associated with mood disorders, anxiety and depression.
The good news is that BED is treatable. Options to manage the disease include cognitive behavioral therapy and nutritional advice. In addition, in October last year, the first announced by Health Canada to treat BED drug approved. Not everyone needs medicines, of course, but can be part of a healthy and holistic approach to disease management.
So if you are worried that your food has got out of control, try not to harden, seek help! Talk to your doctor or contact organizations such as the National Information Center Eating Disorders (Nedic), the National Initiative for Eating Disorders (NIED) Anorexia and Bulimia Quebec (ANAB) or.
