A Habit

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2005/01/29, 09:49 PM ok I'm not bulemic or anything, but I'm not really sure if this would be an eating disorder or not. I have a habit of chewing junk food, and then just spitting it out. I just get the taste of that junk food and then spit it right out. It never gets into my stomach or anything. Well maybe a little does, but I think I need to stop doing this. Has anybody else ever had this problem? Thanks for posting. DX

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2005/02/01, 03:10 PM We all know that it can't be good, yet we still do it. Well at least I'm not the only one that does is. I don't feel totally weird now. I thought I was the only one in the world that did that. I think in a long term effect it will probably just make us want to stop eating healthy and just binge eat on anything we see. I'm trying to stop doing it and I would recommend that you 2 do as well. DX

Some people may have differing patterns of eating disorder and behaviours, such as starving and vomiting, being "anorexic" although still menstruating or their current weight being normal. Others may chew food and then spit it out before swallowing. All people suffering from any kind of serious eating disorder can become socially isolated because of the compulsive nature of the rituals surrounding food, which may keep them from enjoying normal social activities, or may leave them with little time to do anything else. It is also probably true that all people suffering from serious eating disorders feel an underlying sense of shame and self hatred. P.S. Although I can't find the specific name for the activity that you all are describing it is generally considered a non-specific eating disorder. More importantly and perhaps scary is that it is also commonly performed as one of the rituals of the more drastic eating disorders (bulimia and anorexia). In either situation, if you find that you are doing this with any regularity, it may be helpful to seek the help of a professional. Daniel Love

I am sorry to inform you of that, otherwise I would love to invite you to Oregon to do your deed. You have a nice day. Daniel

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2005/02/19, 08:44 AM Okay. All of you who are on the topic of the original post. You are bordering on serious eating disorders. Iwantmybodyback is a little farther along, it sounds like. Please seek help from a professional familiar with eating disorders. Next, get on a sensible eating plan. Chocolates can be included as an occasional splurge when you have a healthy food plan and regular exercise. Running on the treadmill for an hour won't accomplish much more than maybe loss of muscle tissue, if you are starving yourself, which in turn will lowwr your metabolism and sabotage your weight loss efforts. Think about having a body to live for, instead of a body to die for. -------------- Vision without action is a daydream, Action without vision is a nightmare. -- Japanese Proverb --
