In my opinion in binge eating the emotions are involved afterwards not during the eating. While emotional eating is emotion based binge eating is a more of an uncontrolled crave which afterwards you feel ashamed of how much you have ate.

Binge eating and emotional eating are interrelated. Because many people who suffer from binge eating disorder struggle with emotional issues as well. And since binge eating is so emotionally-based that individual emotions are negatively affected when they overeat.
