Brief Answer:
Yes it is harmful if repeated freqently

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all I like to inform you that it is natural to indulge on some occasions as after all we are humans and may not have complete control over our desires.

If you have have very frequent binge eating episodes or have associated distress it is definitely abnormal and there is need to control them at this level itself.

Binge eating is a form of impulse control disorder where we lose control over own impulses leading to harmful consequences.

I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
