I would never do this, but I just heard someone talking about chewing food they shouldn't have and spitting it out just to get the taste.... IDK I'm one where if it gets in my mouth I'm swallowing it LOL, so if I really shouldn't have it, it's not going in there. BUT... do people REALLY do this ???

That's called an eating disorder...if you have to spit it out you shouldn't eat it..

I saw one other post on this board about it and people were freaking out saying it was a sign of an eating disorder. While that maybe true, I could understand maybe in the first few weeks when you are so restricted, if you can't take it... although I don't totally understand because you can barely eat then... I never did it, at least for those reasons. I do occasionally spit a bite out, if while I am chewing it I realize that it is the -one bite too many- that is going to put me in the over-full, painful spot. Sometimes the "I'm full" hits you in the middle of a bite.

According to the National Eating Disorder Information Center, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, the National Institutes of Health, Johns Hopkins and many other reputable sources, it is a sign of an eating disorder.

I absolutely can relate. I do spit the good out if during chewing the last bite I get the very cleat message "I am getting full". I also would spit food that does not taste right - either because it is really bad, or because I started eating something that would/could make me sick (I.e.glazed ham - wuthway too much sugar on it)

I will admit, I did this about twice in the very beginning, because I knew I couldn't swallow it, I was on restricted puréed foods and just wanted the taste of something my husband had. Never became a problem.

I do chew and spit a last bite occasionally now because I realize after it's chewed that it will be that bite that puts me over the normal to uncomfortable feel.
