I don't know if anyone will actually read this, but I chew and spit every single thing i eat and i have lost a lot of weight. I think in my case its pretty much anorexia.

I personally think a healthy weight is around 90 pounds and I think that people like lindsay lohan and nicole richie and the olsen twins look great becuase of how skinny they are. I don't know if thats bad, but i dont really care.

I happen to know that chewing and spitting is basically specified under something called "endos" which is an acronym for Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, the term was started in hospitals and health centers to define a person who:
- Suffers from all normal symptoms of Anorexia Nervosa, including weight loss, but may or may not be in a "normal" weight range.
-Regularly chewing and spitting out, but not swallowing, of food.

I guess I don't take it seriously becuase i think its great I started doing it, i feel like telling my firends about it, but I don't want them to be as skinny as i am. Most of the time my stomach will hurt a little but I seriously don't even feel hungry-I won't eat or chew or spit in the morning or afternoon but at night when i get a little hungry I just eat something by the sink and spit out every bite.
