EATING DISORDERS COMMUNITY
do I really have an ED?

do I really have an ED?

So I'm a healthy, teenage male; I eat very well and most weeks work out 6 days for 2 hours a day (I'm on my high school's crew team). I don't really have any body image problems - I think I look very good in the mirror, in fact :)

I was reading about chew and spit, and it gave me a few concerns.
Sometimes I c&s desserts; maybe 2-3 times a week, at like 8pm.
It's not that I eat extra because of it; instead of having a small bowl of ice cream for dessert, I'll have a big one, but spit it out.

I know it's gross, but it's not something I would ever do in the company of others.

Is this actually a problem?/will it become one?

i would say its a bit of a problem  it can lead to binging and purging but if your only doing it with desserts and not all meals id say keep an eye on it   it can get worse but if you have no real body issues id say you have a part time ed. if this is something thats concerning to you and you want to stop then  i say seek help.   c&s isnt all that gross  just depends who you talk to i used to do it for every meal when i was in school    hope this helped a bit
