It’s Eating Disorder Awareness Week and this weeks focus is on Binge Eating Disorder! This is the most common but least understood eating disorder with order with 1 in 50 of us being affected in our lifetime. It isn’t about being greedy or lacking willpower, but a serious mental illness which many suffer with alone, often with the fear of how others might react the reason they don’t reach out for help.
