They are separte eating disorders, but do have a common thread. Binge eating is where a person "binges" often. A binge is where a person consume large amounts (to the tune of hundreds to thousands) of calories in a very short amount of time. Impulsive eating is where a person sees or thinks of a food and they just randomly decides to eat it.

Why isnt disordered eating the same as eating disorders?

This is because there are more medical aspects that apply to being diagnosed with an eating disorder. An eating disorder requires medical attention, nutrition counseling, and therapy. There's also distorted body image or BDD that plays into being diagnosed with anorexia. There is a weight requirement, otherwise, one can be diagnosed possibly with ED-NOS (eating disorder other wise specified). That's with people with just disordered eating would probably fall into. I don't know if they'd have the obsessive thoughts that eating disordered people do.


How to End Binge Eating and Compulsive Overeating?

When you restrict the body's intake drastically, you might be overcome with a desire to make up those calories, resulting in binge eating. Often, this becomes a vicious cycle that can be hard to avoid. Here are some tips to end the cycle for good: -Stop dieting. Try to focus on maintaing your weight, and eating the same amount of calories each day. -Focus on healthy foods, not empty and unsatisfying calories. -If you slip up, write it down and move on. Do not try to restrict yourself because of that mistake.
