Do you binge eat?

Have you ever asked ourself, "Did I really eat that much?". Due to the holidays and being surrounded by family and friends, we often loose track of exactly what we put in our mouth. The answer is usually a resounding YES. While most people occasionally overeat, others go on regular "binges", consuming large amounts of food in a short time.
People who binge often do so because of emotional trama rather than the basic need for food. Obviously, this behavior can lead to weight gain and more serious health problems.

QUESTION: What advice do you have for someone who may be a binge eater?
