Not so much now.
Pica is an eating disorder it is the compulsive eating of things that are not food, a good deal of my clothes still have bite marks in them where I bit the sleeves my lounge pants have no strings on them any more because I ate them, I ate whole sheets of paper, small screws, and toothpicks.
I managed to make myself stop doing that though.

Wow, glad you stopped yourself from doing that. Eating all those things can't be good for you. How did you stop?

Sheer will power mostly, I would start doing something then force myself to stop and eventually made myself just chew on tooth picks, nothing else and not actually eat them then weened myself off of that.
I still do it on occasion when I am really, really stressed.

You are strong minded to overcome it by will power. So pica can evolve from like an anxiety problem? I had anxiety issues when I was younger, like I couldn't get on the bus for university without feeling nauseous and getting sweaty. I overcame that with medication and some relaxation cds.
It is hard though when your feeling stressed to overcome old habits.

It can be from stress and I believe usually is.
It is most common in small children, past the age of four it stops being the 'normal' baby eating everything bit and becomes considered pica. I actually didn't start eating things that weren't food until the age of 13 or somewhere around there and it just got worse and worse until I was sixteen and started to try and stop.

Heya Noch and Erin!
Hmmm a cookie aye? And may I ask if there would perhaps be any homicidal maniac side effects to eating said cookie? ninja
