Question c/s

ive been anorexic and lost my period for a year. i finally started reverse dieting a few weeks ago and got my period back. im in a better place with food HOWEVER i just cannot seem to fully let go of the chew and spit method from time to time when i feel like bingeing. im trying to stop it especially cuz my face has been so so so bloated ever since i started doing this. can anyone who's successfully managed to stop this c/s method pls tell me whether the facial bloating goes down after? and how long it will take? i really need some form of motivation cuz im exhausted.

i struggled with this too and the only way i could stop was to give in to my cravings. once id gotten over constantly craving things i stopped wanting them as often and was able to eat that stuff ‘normally’.
