Answer 1

The answer to your question would be the first statement. Binge eaters eat out of  their emotions, to help escape them. 

Answer 2

The correct answer would be to avoid dealing with difficult emotions.

Binge eating is known as a psychological disorder and falls under eating disorders. It is a consequence of being unable to deal with or control aspects of your life that you find difficult so you turn to food as comfort and a way of coping. It is a negative way of coping with emotions. Many people eat to hide or deal with their emotions, binge eating is a more extreme version of it as it becomes uncontrollable and people that binge eat need psychological intervention.
