Diet Anxiety Dream!!


Quote  |  Reply

Oh man, I just had my first "Diet Inspired" dream!! 

I was at a chinese foot restauraunt, one with one of those buffets, and I got really excited, because chinese food is like, the silver bullet to my diet.  (If I see crab rangoons or General Tsos, all bets are off.) 

Anyway, I remember loading up my plate with deliscious travesty after delicious travesty, egg rolls, fried shrimp, teriyaki pork, beef and broccoli, fried dumplings, chicken wings . . . you know, all the red-flag sort of stuff.  Then, at the end of the line, when I get ready to go back to the table, my plate breaks!!

The attendant or waiter, or whatever apologizes, brings me a new plate, and I go back to the begining . . . only for my plate to break again at the end.

I must have gone through that line like six times and never once got to taste Fried Rice deliciousness!! 

I woke up in a sweat (though that might have had something to do with the heat) at like 6:30 am, two and a half hours before my alarm was scheduled to ring, and . . . now I am sad.

 

Has anyone else had a diet nightmare?

i have some where i'm put in a horrible position for eating like mad. it'll torture me and ill end up eating like a whole cake and ill feel like crap and then i wake up and realize i didn't just eat like a total fatass and sigh in relief.

haha, I definitely get these dreams pretty frequently too. Someone will usually be handing me platters of chocolate, cake, and ice cream and I'll eat it all without even thinking. Then I realize what I've done and I feel horrified. I'll wake up ashamed and disappointed then realize it was just a dream and laugh.

lol I'm with darkylinky, I've had multiple dreams where I completely overeat some kind of (unhealthy) food and freak out. Then luckily I wake up and realize I haven't gone totally out of control. Unless I've taken up sleep-eating, which would be ridiculously scary.

Ha, ha, ha.

This was a long time ago, but I dreamt that I was standing in front of a CASKET full of delicious foods!!!!!  It was pouring all over the place, like a cruise line buffet table! 

 

I have a recurring dream where I'm completely alone and I'm trapped forever in a warehouse full of yummy processed foods (hostess cakes, chips, breads, crackers, ice creams, pizzas). The whole dream is just me climbing the shelves and trying to stuff as much food into me as I can. For some reason there are always tons of Suzy Qs.

 

But then I wake up and it's such an awful reality-check.   :(

Those kinds of dreams make we wish for an apocalyptic disaster to wipe everyone out while I take up residence in a Costco or something and never worry about anyone seeing me spend my remaining 40 years being a total glutton.

 

 

i have sooooo many dreams like this.

just me pigging out on everything i can find.

i had one dream where all the weight i lost CAME BACK on the scale.. i was mortified and woke up crying.

its really weird/fascinating to see the emotional and psychological effects weightloss has on people

 

Woah... that original post sounds more like a nightmare than a dream. To have to walk back and forth from line-to-table and not even get a bite of food :( that makes me cry

This is just too funny....dreaming about foods.  I have had a few dreams, but early on in my journey....not so much lately.  But I thoroughly enjoyed hearing avbout your dreams.

I had a dream like that this last night.  I was at a party and loaded my plate up with all kinds of things and remeber thinking in my dream....'how I'm I gonna remember to log all this'...it was strange but i was soooo relieved when I woke up.

i'm trying really hard to gain weight, and frequently have nightmares about being weighed. a little less than a week ago i dreamed that i was sewing and accidentally poked myself with the needle. blood started leaking out of me as i drove to my nutritionist for a weigh-in. by the time i got there everything inside of me had leaked out and i weighed only two pounds! another time i dreamed i was a starfish and threw up my stomach (they do that, it's weird). then i got weighed and was ten pounds. haha! many other similar dreams...
