All binge eaters are compulsive overeaters, but not all compulsive overeaters are binge eaters. Amber does not meat the criteria in the DSM for binge eating because she overeats all day every day. There are weight loss meds that can help reduce compulsive behaviors (phentermine combined with topiramate comes to mind). Surely her Doctor hopping must make it difficult for her to truly get comprehensive healthcare.
I am hesitant to post this because I know you all don't like it but... my daughter is a binge eater and is normal weight, and most bingers are normal weight (because they consume all those calories in a short period of time and they may actually compensate for it by eating less when not bingeing). Anyway, she pulled food out of the garbage if we didn't have enough binge food... she'd do things like drink maple syrup, eat ramen raw, and polish off loaves of bread or even eat raw flour if needed. She would do things like eat an entire bag of halloween candy and leave one piece thinking that would hide her crime. I say this so we are all clear what binge eating is, it's not what Amber did on her last video and it's not fixable through sheer willpower, you need medical intervention and lifelong therapy.
