I have an eating disorder. I enjoy eating white clay from flower pots. I break pieces of the pot and crush it to a fine powder. then I eat it. I enjoy the sandy taste and the crunching in my mouth.?

I have an Eating Disorder too, primarily Bulimia, and I suffer with the same problem. It's known as 'Pica'- cravings or wants to eat inedible substances. Mine is Wooden lolly pop sticks and candle wax. When i eat the wooden sticks i break them into tiny splinter-size pieces and eat them. With the wax i melt it into the palm of my hand and let it solidify and then eat it. I don't understand it either, but it's really bad for your health! There's all sorts of chemicals used on flower pots. Are you getting any help with your eating disorder? I'd recommend that more than anything, as to solve the pica you need to solve what is causing it- the eating disorder. Otherwise, is there any way you can get rid of these flower pots so they won't be there to eat? They could be doing serious damage internally...your digestive system can't deal with these substances. I hope you find a way to stop this, and to recover from your eating disorder. I know what it's like for me, so i can only imagine you must be suffering the same. All the luck in the world! Amy x
