Is binging an eating disorder?

I really want to lose 7 lbs, but i cant help binging - i feel so bad afterwards but yet i carry on. i don't purge afterwards or anything but i do count the calories in everything, even if i just eat it anyway.
I am within my healthy BMI but want to lose 7 lbs which wil leave me still within my healthy BMI.
Have i got some sort of eating disorder or is this normal?

No you don't have an eating disorder. You have to eat huge amount of food in a short time for it to be considered binge-eating disorder

In my opinion i dont think you have an eating disorder.... (but then again i dont have enough details to say 100%)

Binging can be as much an eating disorder as starving yourself / anorexia.
But i would say its a bit more serious binging that what you describe, I also think this 'eating disorder' thing can be an excuse for people to eat what they want all the time!

All you need is some determination, If you really want to lose them 7 lbs, dont have that chocolate bar (or whatever you binge on.)
Make a goal and treat yourself once you reach it (the treat doesnt have to be food, new clothes, shoes, hair cut etc)

Good luck x

Binging can constitute an eating disorder, as well as compulsive overeating. However, no one could diagnose these things online. You need to see someone about it if you think that you have an eating disorder.
