she chews up food and spits it in the trash,,

[jenema]

she is me.
i constantly do this.
i sneak boxes of food into privacy and chew it up and spit it into cups ..bags..etc. but its worse because i rechew what i spit out and end up swallowing half of it. The way i do this ..i should be morbidly obese , because its only with the foods im too gulity to actually eat.
i feel low and disgusting and helpless.
I always feel hungry and anxious to do this and its become soooo routine.
any thoughts feelings suggestions would be great.

Bullshit. As long as you're actually chewing and spitting, you get 5-15% of the calories. (Granted, jenema may get a bit more due to re-chewing.) Still, your misinformation could cause an unnecessary freak-out, so please be careful with what you say.
Jenema, chew&spit is a trait of EDNOS, according to this site. I wish I could tell you how to stop, but I don't know how myself. :/

((hugs))

I've done it before too..
Though my bulimia has taken over now..
I wish there was a quick fix for this..

[FatBallerina]

I have this thing where i spit it out into empty water bottles and keep them....
Its really gross, but for some reason i keep my binge wrappers and my bottles of chewed up food.
How do i stop? UGGG!

Hey,
food is split up and digested ONLY in the small intestines, NOT in your mouth or your stomach. Of course you'll get some of the cals into your system simply by swallowing tiny bits of your food. But that's good, because your stomach produces acids as soon as you put food in your mouth, and by swallowing teeny tiny bits he'll get to work on something and you won't feel sick afterwards.

I don't think c/s is such a bad thing - for me it's heaven right now!
I don't understand though why you keep your spat-out stuff? Do you feel guilty and need to look at them or do you just hide them and throw them away eventually?

Ah, today I had two c/s sessions... the second one i did swallow a few tiny bites on purpose, but most of it was definitely spit out into one plastic bag.
At the end I tied up the bag and held it up, feeling its weight.
Pretty darned heavy. That was a LOT of food. If I'd swallowed everything, I probably would be laying on my back right now in excruciating pain with a belly the size of an 8-month preg woman carrying twins.

Here's a question i also asked in my blog post today. Like I said, I do purposefully eat (swallow) a few bites while c/s... and afterwards I'm actually feeling rather full. Did I really ingest that much during c/s?? Or is it just mostly the water I drink throughout the c/s...?? It worries me because it kind of feels like food-fullness, since when I restrict and drink a lot of water, I don't feel this way :(

[Ali(ve)]

secret.fighter, I'm sure you didn't swallow that much. It's probably the water, but I'm going to talk out my ass and give another theory. Maybe it's your brain thinking it's full. You know how they say that drinking diet soda is bad because it makes your brain prepare for calories that it's not getting? (And thus, apparently makes you crave carbs.) Maybe that happens during c/s too. *shrug*
(I developed this theory after a c/s session when I thought, "Wow, I'm kind of full" and then realized that I hadn't really eaten anything except maybe one bite. Haha.)

Yeah, maybe... I sure do know my brain is already messed up from ED-ness :P I may have swallowed a maximum of 4-5 full bites if i added it all up? But I *am* used to restricting, so my stomach is probably shrunk and my metabolism's waaay slowed/messed up too so =T mehh idk. Anyway, I know i allow myself a bit to swallow every few c/s'd bites so it feels a little more like a binge hahaa

That could add to it. Just don't let it worry you too much, since I'm sure you don't take in too much during c/s.
Haha. I sometimes swallow a few bites as well for the same reason.

I do this as well as binging. I will do c/s in the morning and early afternoon, usually, then give into my urges and binge like crazy in the afternoons and evenings. It's driving me mad, neither "method" makes any sense, and I just hate myself for having no self-control any more.

As far as calories go, I usually count about 20% of what I c/s when I'm calculating, and about 50% of what I binge/purge (probably more than that though, i know, but i purge immediately afterwards, most of it looks like the whole bites..TMI i know). I dunno how much exactly you take in with either, but I know at least *some* get through.

5-15% c/s, ~50% b/p.

Just wanted to share my *relief*! At my morning weigh-in, my weight has gone back down to this past weekend's weight after last night's c/s "binge". I am. so. relieved.

Well done. Here's evidence that C/S doesn't take in much calories or affect your weight that much - it's all just water weight.

Wish I didn't do it though..
