Publisher's Synopsis
Eating in secret, often known as stealth eating, is a prevalent activity among patients with Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and other eating disorders. It entails consuming huge quantities of food in secret, sometimes in a short period of time, and concealing the traces of the food ingested. Eating in secret may be a source of shame and guilt and can make it difficult for people to seek assistance and support for their illness.
One of the primary reasons why people with BED may eat in secret is due to feelings of shame and guilt about their eating habits. They may worry that people would criticize or reject them if they knew about their condition, and thus they feel forced to conceal their eating habits. This may lead to a cycle of secrecy, guilt, and shame, which can make it difficult for people to seek treatment and support. Eating in secret may also be a strategy for people to deal with mental discomfort and feelings of poor self worth. Food may provide short term comfort from these sensations, but the guilt and humiliation that follow can make the emotional anguish worse. Another reason why patients with BED may eat in secret is due to tight diets. Restrictive dieting may lead to feelings of deprivation and restriction, which can induce binge eating. Eating in secret may be a method for people to indulge in their needs without feeling guilty or humiliated. Eating in secret may also have harmful impacts on physical and mental health. It may lead to weight gain and an increased risk of diet related health disorders such as diabetes and heart disease. It may also contribute to poor self esteem, despair, and anxiety. To overcome eating in secret, it's necessary for people to have a pleasant and balanced connection with food. This may be done by following the concepts of mindful and intuitive eating. Mindful and intuitive eating may allow people to eat in a manner that feels gratifying and joyful, rather than guilty or humiliated. It may also enable people to become more aware of their emotional triggers and desires and to regulate them in a more efficient manner. It's also crucial for folks to develop healthy coping techniques such as exercise, yoga, meditation, or journaling to channel emotions in a beneficial way.Eatin in Secret CURE is for anyone who struggles to take action.
