Binge eating, characterized by overeating while experiencing a sense of loss of control, affects 5–10% of people and is associated with adverse health outcomes, including excess weight gain and the development of full-syndrome eating disorders. There is emerging interest in interventions targeting momentary antecedents of binge eating. Such interventions are promising, but their refinement could be informed by an improved understanding of momentary processes that promote binge eating.Currently there are several overarching models that seek to explain binge eating. Restraint theory (which posits that binge eating results from lapses in ongoing attempts to reduce energy intake for weight control purposes) and affect regulation theories (which suggest that binge eating is a maladaptive strategy for coping with negative affect) comprise the most well-known contemporary theories of binge eating. Independent tests of these theories using experimental and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) methodologies indicate that both restraint and negative affect often act as momentary antecedents to binge eating. One theory involving affect regulation processes, escape theory, more specifically proposes that binge eating represents a motivated attempt to escape from self-awareness. In this framework, an individual who becomes overwhelmed by awareness of his/her perceived shortcomings (eg failure to achieve thin ideal, comply with diet goals) and subsequently experiences negative affect (eg anxiety or depression) seeks to escape to a lower level of self-awareness. This state thought to include a narrowed cognitive focus which is associated with several features that may promote binge eating, including decreased inhibitions and a
