    I do it when I eat something I'm not too thrilled with and dont want to waste calories.

    Seems like a very unhealthy relationship with food.

    I agree with this- I've never heard of anyone doing it as a means of weight control...I am obviously not a dr or expert but this certainly sounds like the first steps down a dangerous path.

    this seems really concerning, if you don't want the calories don't eat the food, but definitely don't masticate and then regurgitate! There is a big difference between avoiding bad foods and avoiding swallowing your food, the latter seems like a big problem.

    This doesn't seem like a healthy activity to me.

    This is INCREDIBLY common among people with eating disorders. It's not healthy at all. Either eat the food or don't eat the food.

    Yeah, that's a trait of anorexia. I know quite a few that did that.

    Nope, never done it and I would think of it as a large amount of wasted food? not to mention how unhealthy it sounds to be doing this.

    How is your relationship with food other than this? I agree that this could be a sign of a problem.

    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?

    Hahaha that was funny.

    This is a joke right?

    Swallow. *Titter*

    1stly - I would agree with everyone else on here.. sounds incredibly unhealthy, and actually this is something i have seen on many pro-ana websites that encourage anorexia

    2ndly - I totally got the wrong idea of this post when I saw the title - strangly disappointed! Shame on me :blushing:

    Your sister is right,

    Eat your food and quit spitting it out.

    My friend is anorexic, she will do that occasionally. When she is with me, I give her the look, and tell her if she is going to spit out what she just put in her mouth she may as well go home, and this means she usually will not eat in my presence, but that is alright for me as long as I am not helping her in her behavior by letting her spit out her food.

    I'm with your sister, sounds like an eating disorder to me. At least make an appointment at a community mental health center and get a professional's assessment. I doubt you'll find "alot [sic] of people" doing this.

    Also, I'd question if there actually is a "polite" way to spit food out.. I wouldn't want to eat at a table with you.

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