Cam sent me a link from WebMD about a
new pill called Vyvanse that is supposed to help stop people that
binge eat. Now, I thought that binge eating was something that
selfish assholes did. Like, you come home and you think there is a
bag of chips available but it turns out that someone else ate the
entire thing by themselves. Not because they were high or anything
but just because they're rude. Don't be that person.
I looked up the definition of binge
eating and this is what I found. Mind you, its from WebMD and its the
same site that has caused more panic than a parent that doesn't
believe in vaccination that sends their kid to a playground during a
high five contest.
“Binge-eating disorder is a serious
eating disorder in which you frequently consume unusually large
amounts of food. Almost everyone overeats on occasion, such as having
seconds or thirds of a holiday meal. But for some people, overeating
crosses the line to binge-eating disorder and it becomes a regular
occurrence, usually done in secret. When you have binge-eating
disorder, you may be deeply embarrassed about gorging and vow to
stop. But you feel such a compulsion that you can't resist the urges
and continue binge eating. If you have binge-eating disorder,
treatment can help.”
