Hi everyone..I have been struggling with anorexic tendencies for a little over a year now, and this past summer I just recently started doing this. It was a way for me to feel less hungry..while I was tasting the food, I figured I wasn't consuming the calories. I have noticed, like many others on here, that I have hit a major plateau and cannot lose any more weight despite my eating even fewer calories than I did last year. After reading this, I have started to think that perhaps it really is the chewing/spitting that is keeping me the weight I am. When I do this, I completely lose control. Just today, I chewed and spit 24 cookies and an entire box of cereal..this problem makes me feel so ashamed. I have made the decision to stop this awful habit and hopefully try to get healthy again. I don't really know why I am posting this..it just feels more definite if others see it and maybe I'll help someone else to see the damage they are doing to their body.
