I don't really understand her differentiation between a binge and overeating. The reality is, she is eating FAR more than she needs. She is NOT satiating hunger, but rather her ravenous, inhuman appetite, and she is eating copious amounts of junk food. Is that not a binge?
For any normal human, yes. A person might binge around Christmas by continually eating cookies and such over the course of an entire day, consuming more calories than required but not ever actually risking a ruptured stomach. Or, they might binge by just eating a single, large meal. Either way, it would qualify as a binge, based on my understanding of the word.
It seems that in Amberland, if she isn't gorging herself, it's not a binge. A "binge" for her is when she consumes an obscene amount of food in a single sitting. "Overeating" is what she calls it when she continually eats smaller (by her standards) meals and snacks all day, and goes over whatever arbitrary calorie limit she's decided is ideal.
Either way, it's pretty gross.
