Do you have, or have you had problems with binge eating? How do you deal with it?

I don't think I've ever done binge eating. I have overeaten and kept on eating at times. There was one type of snack bar that if a box of them came into the house I would eat all five of them over the course of an afternoon. I would get these feelings/sensations and keep going back to get the next one. Made me a believer that they design food, so you keep eating it. Those feelings/sensations cut way back when I cut down on eating refined carbs.

Hmm...after reading about it...I don't have binge eating disorder but have at times overeaten in binge-worthy-proportions. I also read that it should happen weekly for three months so...can't claim that honor - thankfully.
I do remember sitting down and finishing a box of See's Candy in college or a bag of Nacho flavored Doritos or other foods and beverages in the past...
When in nursing school we met a young man who couldn't stop eating and they even wired his jaws together to stop him only to have him suck down ketchup and other things. Kind of a drastic thing...can't remember WHAT that disorder was...perhaps polyphagia? hyperphagia?

Oh, I used to binge eat in the days when I was eating too few calories - back in my 20s and 30s. I've gone through a whole box of Thin Mints at a sitting, for example. I think my serving size at the time was half a box.
Beck really helped me get over that whole thing when I first read the book when it came out.
Now, I rarely binge eat. It does happen occasionally but not often enough to matter - once or twice a year?
eta: that upside down layer cake diagram in Beck is what finally made me work to get rid of the habit
