I was talking to my sister yesterday at a 4th of July party, and I mentioned that in an effort to moderate my calorie in-take, sometimes I don't actually swallow my food, I just chew it and politely spit it out. She said that has to be some sort of an eating disorder, but I disagreed and told her that I bet alot of people do this. So, I'd thought I'd ask today on here today....sometimes, do you not swallow on purpose?

All I can think about is that scene in "Sex and the City" where that dude that Miranda goes out with chews his food and spits it out. YUCK!! :laugh:
Edit to say, NO I don't spit my food out. I always swallow it !0 -

I've heard of anorexics doing that. May not mean you are one, but likely not a healthy behavior.0

Not as a rule, BUT there have been times that I didn't think about what I was doing and popped something in my mouth, realized how NOT worth it it was to me or my calorie count and spit it out...0

Sounds disgusting, and a little concerning. Are you getting adequate nutrition otherwise?0

Seems like a very unhealthy relationship with food.0

i'm no expert but it sure sounds like a dysfunctional habit to say the least0

At the very least it is the beginnings of an eating disorder.0

That just sounds really disgusting. And completely unhealthy.0

Yes it generally is an early sign of bullemia, You should probably talk to your doctor about it.
Besides... everyone likes a swallower better than a spitter...0 -

The crowd has spoken.
Either swallow, or don't put it in your mouth.0 -
I have struggled with an eating disorder and this definitely sounds like the beginning to one.0
