In brief:
Poor self worth
First, binge eating soon becomes a compulsion or a behavior that is very, very difficult to control.
The act usually creates a sense of guilt and regret, which may or may not lead to purging which then lends to a number of different consequences including toothe enamel erosion or wear down, electrolyte disturbances, and potentially even death. If continues -extremely difficult overweight dilemma.

In brief:
Health & Emotional
Binge eating disorder can impact your health negatively, as bingeing often leads to weight gain and increased hypertension, heart disease, and more.
Psychologically, there is often a lot of shame attached to BED. The behavior may undermines your self esteem and cause depression and anxiety. Some people avoid social interaction with others so they can eat alone and become isolated.
