have any of you ever done this? i just chewed my way through a chocolate muffin and spit it out without swallowing any of it. is this dangerous? do you still ingest any calories?
just to let you all know a little about myself, i'm an 18-yr-old college student who's life up until now has been one big eating disorder. when i was 15 i became anorexic and starved myself down to 79 lbs (i'm 5'6) and was hospitalized twice. i was 'recovered' and happy for about a year at 110 lbs, still very thin but not sick anymore. then i started bingeing the summer before my senior year in high school. i went through brief periods of time where i purged a few times a day, took laxatives and diet pills, but still ended up gaining over 50 in a year. my doctor put me back on my anti-depressant to control my bingeing urges, and it has done just that. i no longer feel the physical need to binge, although i do occasionally overeat due to emotional causes.
so here i am at 5'6 and 166 lbs. i first worked on eating normally to maintain my weight, and now i'm ready to loose. before i had any weight problems i was 125-130 lbs, but i'd be really happy to get to around 140. i believe that's more realistic. in the last 5 days i've lost 2 pounds by eating 1200-1600 cals a day and working out for at least 45 mins.
so anyway, do any of you have experiences with chewing food and then spitting it out? i'm haven't heard much about it and i'm just curious...
