Hello. So my mom claims (though aren't 100% true) that I have binge eating disorder. I have never considered myself to have an eating disorder ever. For the last few days I have been trying to find what the definition of a "binge eating episode" is. I'm not asking anyone to diagnose me or anything, I'm just wondering what it is.

I never feel super full after a so called "episode". I do not feel guilty after it (and don't purge after, so I know it's not bulimia). I don't eat alone usually, mainly around other people. I do eat more than an average person probably often and eat quicker than normal. I am not even 200 pounds as a 5' 6'' female. I am according to the BMI "obese" but don't look or feel obese in any way. My friends tell me I don't look obese either. Just my mom. I know I am overweight. I don't deny that. But I don't think I have an eating disorder. What's really the difference between overeating and binge eating?

RANT if you want to read below, I mainly want the above answered.

My mind is just flowing with thoughts here really. I probably over eat more than the average bear, but other than that, many test say I don't meet the criteria for BED so I don't think I have it, but with my mom throwing it in my face and saying I need to work on my weight so I can have a psychoeducational evaluation that I want and probably NEED. That part annoys me. I am not going to diet, but I am going to drink more water because I rarely would drink water, take some more vitamins and supplements, have a proper bedtime with 8 hours of sleep (I currently sleep 5-6 hours on average), and meditate for 5-10 mins before bed. That's it. I am allowing to eat whatever I want to, but I even felt by drinking more water yesterday, I wasn't feeling as hungry. I am feeling a lot more thirstier though...

Thanks for your help .
