ABSTRACT
A mountainous pile of labels has emerged to describe a person who overeats and feels distressed about it. The labels include: compulsive overeating, bulimia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating disorder, bulimarexia, night eating syndrome and 7loss-of-control eating. They overlap and have an awful lot in common with each other. Problems with overeating can occur in people of any body weight (underweight, average, and overweight). This book has been written for people who fall into any of these categories. If feeling unsure whether any of this fits you, fill in and score the test in Table 1.1.
