Samantha Michaels

Samantha Michaels was born in 1973 in the small town of Abington, PA and was raised and still lives in Hatboro, PA (both suburbs of Philadelphia).  She is married to her high school sweetheart and they have a rescue dog, a beautiful Black Lab named Holly. When she's’not writing or working at her full-time job, she enjoys watching her Philly sports team (hopefully) win, listening to heavy metal/hard rock music, Texas Hold Em, reading, and spending time with friends and family. Her love of reading began at a young age, thanks to her mother and Sesame Street.  Her mom read to her constantly, and by three years old, she was reading on her own, and hasn’t stopped.  This eventually turned into a love of writing.  She was writing for herself and then for a small group of friends, one of whom told her she should be writing books.  She took her friends advice and has since published several romance books with plenty more on the way.

    It's a short, easy reading. There's no unpronounceable medical terms and it is easy to understand what the author is saying. The book doesn't boast new "magical" methods to get slim and that's good. It just sums up what is reasonable to do to stay healthy without giving schemes and diet plans. Maybe is a bit too general, meaning that most of the tips are good common-sense made clear and handy to grab when needed. Nevertheless, common-sense is not so close at hand for people who are struggling with problems and a guide can be very helpful.The only thing I miss in this book is an appendix that lists the studies mentioned through the book, and where and when they were published. It would be nice to have something more concrete to rely on than "a study". It's then up to the reader to have a closer look to the metioned study or not, but it would help to undertsand better the subject.

    Although I personally did not learn anything new , I'm sure some may be helped by this book- even if it does nothing more than inspire one to begin taking control of their eating. The author gives many suggestions of things to do to avoid a binge. The information was easy to understand.

Chapter 1: Understanding Binge Eating Disorder

Have you ever felt a strange craving for food you haven’t eaten in a while? Sometimes, you might decide to indulge your craving, and find yourself overeating too quickly until you’re too full you feel like your stomach is going to burst. Congratulations, you’ve just experienced binge eating.

Occasional overeating does not pose much of a problem, but it can soon lead to habitual binge eating that can already be considered a form of eating disorder.

What is binge eating disorder (BED)?

The term binge means excessive indulgence, and was used originally to refer to excessive drinking. Today, we use it more often to refer to binge eating, or compulsive eating which leads to consuming too much food in a short time.

Binge eating is considered one of the most common eating disorders at present. If unchecked, it becomes a serious health problem as it eventually leads to obesity and other ailments like diabetes, heart diseases, gastrointestinal problems, and even certain types of cancer.

Symptoms of a binge

A person who has developed a serious case of binge eating disorder may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

Frequent binge eating episodes, characterized by trancelike rapid food intake until your stomach feels uncomfortable.

Stress and agitation that can only be cured by food.

Inability to control what you eat and how much.

Compulsive overeating even when you don’t really feel hungry, sometimes even throughout the entire day.

Eating a lot of food in secret, because you don’t want to be seen consuming all that food in your plate.

You feel guilty, depressed, or disgusted with yourself afterward.

How you feel during a binge

Moments before you experience a binge, you might feel a craving so intense for a certain food. Minutes stretch into hours as you attempt to get to the food stash, and you feel more agitated with each moment. You’ve got to eat, and you’ve got to eat now!

Then, when the food is in front of you, it begins. You might not notice the amount of food you are consuming, because you are too focused on savoring what you eat: the taste, the textures, and you lose yourself in that sensation.

You just feel the need to eat, and eat, and eat, forgetting table manners and stuffing the food in your mouth almost mechanically, as if you are going to die if you can’t have that next bite. It’s like your stomach has turned to a bottomless pit that you can’t fill.

You don’t notice how quickly the food is disappearing from your plate. It’s almost like you’re in a trance: you don’t know what you’re doing and you can’t seem to control it. Then, once the episode is over and you’ve had enough, it
