Is it bad to chew food in your mouth just for the taste and then spit it out?

I'm almost 4 weeks post-op (distal RNY) and the terrible cravings I was having in the beginning have greatly subsided (with the arrival of severe nausea), but sometimes I get my moments of weakness. Today is a good example. My church had a dinner today and there was alot of food left over. They packed some of it up for my husband & me to take home. During the dinner, I think I may have eaten alittle too much. I mean, it was soft foods and I chewed really well, and I ate very slowly, taking 1 1/2 hrs. or so to eat it. But I think it was a little too much. Well anyway, later on in the evening at home, I went to the fridge and was tempted by the ziti, potato salad and peach cobbler. Even though I still felt full from when I ate at the church, I quickly scarfed down a few ziti noodles and within a few minutes I threw it up. I didn't learn my lesson and I went to work on the potato salad. Threw that up as well. But I still HAD TO have a taste of the peach cobbler, so I put a little bit in my mouth, chewed it up & then spit it out. Is this OK to do? Also, if you know you swallowed something that you know you shouldn't have, and you don't get the urge to throw up, is it bad to MAKE yourself throw up? This isn't bulemia or anything, is it?
