Answer #1

I’ve heard of that well, I havent heard the name of it but I have heard of a lot of people who eat unusal things and things that arnt food much like you do I would say the first step would be to put those small object away or out of your sight so you dont autimatcally see them mybe even put them in individual boxes and wrte on the top “ dont eat this “ and try to replace them with food maybe get food that looks simlar (for buttons you could have smartes or mnms) (for paper you could have pita bread) ect, and say to yourself or write on a note that you will easily look at and read “ dont eat this paper, have a piece of pita bread nstead) something like that and that might help you to slowly stop eating things that arnt food everytime you go to eat soemhing that isnt food, just try to remember or look at the note (you could even write it on your hand) that you shouldnt eat it and hould try a piece of similar looking food instead hope that helps

Answer #2

Aw…I’m sorry you have that. Try eating different but healthy stuff. If you eat junk you’ll get fat. Try eat stuff like apples or something else crunchy like that. Hope this helps!

Answer #3

Ummm… Stop eating that stuff. Try chocolate [=
