Binge eating has a lot to do with lifestyle habits and meal planning.

Too many people I know who happen to be heavier than they would like, tend to eat poorly. They eat on the run, grab something at Taco Bell without knowing what is in their food that affect them so. Granted, many do not make the time to plan out their day because they lead hectic lives. Over time, overall health goes to pot and guilt takes over. Thus the trap of binge eating because a meal or two was skipped.

Talking with one's Doctor, working with a Nutritionist, attending support groups, Weight Watchers, can help may people learn healthier habits to live a more healthful life. All it takes is a decision to do it. For the way to conquer fear is with action.
