Larry is a wrestler who was last year's state wrestling champion for his high school. This year has not been so great and Larry is performing much more poorly than he has in the past. His coach is giving him a hard time and Larry is feeling depressed. After practice he often gorges on junk food, consuming thousands of calories in a single sitting.

And the answer to the question is "Binge-eating disorder".
