Binge Eating Disorder Symptoms

Come February, we’re deep into winter, and the short days combined with frigid temperatures may have us reaching for our favourite comfort foods.

For those who suffer from binge eating disorder (BED), overeating brings on feelings of deep shame and self-loathing. If you answered “Yes” to these questions, it might be time to have a conversation with your family doctor about your relationship with food.
