Abstract

Firstly, an exhibition on eating disorders and body shaming is on display in Shanghai. The exhibition is designed by people who are patients with eating disorders. The exhibition is an introduction to the subject of eating disorders, and bulimia in particular. In addition, the exhibition highlights the dangers of the disorder. This includes binge eating as one of the consequences. The article then presents the definition of binge eating. Then, it was found that food addiction is present in many people with bulimia. Therefore, the article also analyzes the factors of binge eating from a child's perspective and personality. The final analogy is to the phenomenon of food addiction in people with obesity. So what are the reward mechanisms that cause food addiction in people with bulimia?
