I have developed the disgusting habit of chewing food and then spitting it out
I read up on it and what i do i cant find
all the infomation i found says people eat meals then chew and spit when they binge
i dont do this
i chew and spit all my food, it gross but i prefer the flavour of the food more then the actual food
the bits that fall down my throat as i chew i swallow, so at least my stomach is getting somthing
i properly eat something every 3/4 days a small meal or somthing,
and i hide food that my mum gives me, that is bad for me e.g. cake, chocolate etc
i drink enough and i drink fruit juices quite a bit so i still get some vitiams
and things like yougort im okay with because it easily slips down my throat
it doesn't sound like bulimia to me as im not binging or anything,
i know that what i dont isnt exactly normal, and its disorded eating, but its not an eating disorder, is it?
please help im starting to freak =/

I'm going through the same thing . I've recently just told my two best friends about this; they won't tell anyone . This is what I've been tryingto do and it's been helping: every time you're craving something, eat a small piece of it (such as the cake); if you limit yourself, instead of stuffing the whole thing down your throat, you won't spit it out . Also, if you feel the urge to do "C&S" or "Chewing and Spitting", stop and think about it . Try to eat well-rounded meals that fill you up, so you won't be craving anything . Like I said before, if you DO crave anything (and I always do !) eat just a small piece of it, so you feel good after just eating a small amount . Oh, and eat in variety (eat healthy !) so you stay healthy, and don't go around eating and then spitting things out . This disorder causes MAJOR tooth decay, it rots your teeth ! If it gets out of hand, I suggest you go tell your parent or guardian, or even tell a friend to go with you to get medical help ! Please stay healthy and safe, I wish you best of luck !
i am 40 years old and have dealt with eating disorders since i was a teen that latter years i have been chewing and spitting out my food, most of the time i do it in private, like when my folks who i stay their house often or i do it in public too, because its such a habit i can't break it, its like i can make my mind think its nto eating the calories of things when i really am, i probably have gained weight, but purposely don't weigh myself because that would make things worse, this is quite out of hadn becaus every sees me doing it some comment and some don't but i am sure it is gross for them, yet i still can't get myself to stop. Its like i am cleansing myself of something.
