In Western cultures, we do make exceptions as to times when it is acceptable to eat multiple plates of food. For example, we commonly accept indulging on holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter when you may have several helpings or a few extra pieces of desert. In addition, for other special occasions, including birthday parties, you may decide to eat two or three cupcakes instead of one. This type of occasional overeating is typically normal for the average person. However, for those who suffer from binge eating disorder (BED), binge episodes, such as the ones described above occur on a regular basis, sometimes even up to multiple times per day. In addition, binge eating can be accompanied by overwhelming feelings of shame or guilt. If you think you may suffer from compulsive eating, or binge eating disorder, contact our treatment team at Webster Wellness Professionals to learn about binge eating disorder treatment methods available at our St. Louis eating disorder treatment center.
At Webster Wellness Professionals, we will be happy to meet with you to discuss our treatment options for eating disorders and weight control. If after this
consultation, we determine that our treatment program is not the best fit for your needs, we will happily refer you to a different treatment center, therapist, or physician
in order to help you receive the best treatment. Our list of available nationwide resources and options is extensive enabling us to find the best fit to help you achieve
your goals of long-term wellness and healthy weight control.

The Eating Disorder (ED) Family and Friends Support Group is intended as a forum to offer information, education, and a place to talk about how knowing a person with an
eating disorder is affecting your life. It is free and open to parents, spouses, other family members or friends of a person with an eating disorder. The Support Group
meets the second Wednesday of each month from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm in a room provided by the St. John's Mercy - Edgewood.
The Support Group is moderated by family members and sometimes has professionals as guest speakers. The group is not intended as therapy or for professional advice. It is affiliated both with ANAD (National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders) and NEDA (National Association of Eating Disorders). It is not associated with St. John's Mercy, but the use of its facility for these meetings is gratefully appreciated.
