Answer this question in Spanish: ¿Tienes un cuerposano y mentesana? 10 minutes • In the six months after her parents' divorce, 13-year-old Caroline (her name has been changed to protect confidentiality) gained more than 20 pounds. Feeling sad and alone, she consoled herself with food -- and lots of it. Day after day, she was binge eating. • "I remember the night my dad left, I went into the kitchen and devoured a dozen glazed doughnuts and a quart of milk," Caroline said. "Still feeling hungry (but really sad), I took a bag of chips up to my room and ate them in the dark while sitting on my bed, crying." • Unlike people with bulimia, Caroline didn't vomit or use laxatives to purge her system. She just continued to binge eat to soothe her sadness and anxiety. • What Causes Binge-Eating Disorder? • Binge-eating disorder is a relatively recently recognized disorder and is thought by some to be the most common of the eating disorders. People with binge-eating disorder eat large amounts of food at one sitting at least two days a week for six months. Their binges also have three of these five characteristics: • Eating faster than normal • Eating until uncomfortably full • Eating large amounts of food when not feeling physically hungry • Eating alone because of embarrassment • Feeling disgusted, depressed, or very guilty after overeating • Approximately 4 million people in the United States have binge-eating disorder, binging without purging.
