I edited it   but this is my first time and I edited it mainly because I cringe whenever someone misspells bingeing by leaving the e out I was compelled to join Wikipedia just for this article which I came across by accident   The statement that  recover is totally fallacious and I cited another statistic albeit about morbidly obese sufferers and not necessarily about all compulsive eaters I do not think this article should be merged w that of binge eating disorder necessarily because there is the difference of grazing behaviors I do however think they should be linked I do not think this article should be merged w that of eating disorders either because the DSMIVT is not considering adding this as a definition of a type of eating disorder It is however considering adding Binge Eating Disorder BED   JoyMourning
