I find that sometimes when I can't get hardly anything down I will chew the food and then discretely spit it into a cup without swollowing. My finace thinks it gross (and a waste of good food) however I feel that it satifies my mental issues of loving the taste of food without gaining the weight. Am I the only weird one who chews and spits?

You are not alone!! I, too have done this many times, epsc when I am very tight and I know that I will end up PBing the food up inevitably anyways. Tasting the food at least gives me some satisfaction and I rationalize that least I am not harming my band by PBing. My boyfriend thinks its gross too so I try to only do it when he isn't around and I am very full/tight and I know that its that or nothing at all.

I do this sometimes if it is something that I feel won't go down right I will spit it out. I don't intentionally put something in my mouth that I know I'm gonna have to spit out but in the course of a meal if the meat is too grissely or something or the veggie to woody. My kids and DH thought it was gross at first but they are used to it now.
