Sometimes I can just sit there and eat paper. Be it rippings from crayon labels, or your standard 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of office paper. I hardly notice it sometimes, until I notice the sheet of paper that was beside me is 100% gone.

I also eat string without knowing it. I'm known to eat scabs and fingernails as well. I eat eraser trimmings and I seriously think I'm eating earwax.

I need medical help. but my parents just think I'm paying too much attention to the computer and don't notice what I'm putting in my mouth.

You don't get fat for eating paper and little piece of plastic.

No, but you are fat if you do.

Quite the opposite; Pica usually happens in people who are undernourished.

If i were you, id probably just check my diet, and see if im eating everything i need to be eating... Junk and Fast food probably might contribute to it alot if you're eating alot of it. Or unitritious things, like rice, or potatoes

At the same time, one can pick any symptom or state of being and call it a disorder.

THERE IS NO NORMAL. THERE IS NO HEALTHY. THERE IS ONLY WHAT IS CONSIDERED TRUE BY THE PEOPLE THAT CAN CONVINCE US THAT IT IS.

You'll get over it.

contingent aversive physical sensation (water mist). So, all you need is to be sprayed in the face.

It said that it had to last for more than a month to be official. Also, eat more red meat for iron. I'm havin steak right now!

Seriously, no lie, steak. At eight! Eight o' steak!

Wow, that must suck. Well, there's a way to stop this. Chewing gum and lollipops - stuff that stays in your mouth for a while and tastes good. :D

It could be your not eating enough. I sometimes aet papers and staples when I'm hungry and have nothing to eat(yeah I eat staples). I would suggest seeing your school counselor about it.

I used to eat paper all the time in elementary school.

Although you're left with the stick afterwards. And by then it's usually pretty wet and it comes apart pretty easily for you to tear at and eat.

Hahaha. Ha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Sorry, but this is DAMN funny!

Seriously, though, I used to chew paper. If I were you, I wouldn't worry. Just tell us more funny stories!

I used to eat a whole ton of stuff when I was small.

I'd consume large amounts of sand, eat the occasional handful of grass, probably ate dirt before, paper (still do), tissues (still do), lollipop sticks (if it's a paper stick, I'll eat it, if it's plastic, I'll chew it to the point where I'll cut my mouth), wrappers (especially waxy ones like Starburst), fingernails, hair, string, thread, nail polish flakes (I'll scrape the paint off of my nails--it's a bad habit, I know), chalk, and ice if I can ever make some.

I think that's what I have/will continue to eat. I will chew on plastic cutlery and straws, as well as toothpicks and other plasticy stuff. And I will do so even if it hurts my gums (I will stick the spoons of slurpee straws between my teeth--it hurts, but I can't stop doing it).

I'm weird. I know I have pica, I'm fairly certain of it.

I've also forgotten that I have eaten petals (I ate a bunch of buttercups before, like, ate maybe 40 or so flowers, then read in a book that you shouldn't eat them because they're poisonous. That was a scary night :( ), as well as scabs, eyebrow and eyelash hairs, salt, and toothpaste.

i like to completely char any meat i eat. i like extremely thin slices of beef (about a quarter inch) and just cook them till they're black all over.
