Nightmares about eating junk food?...

[keriann_forgoodthistime]

Does anyone else have nightmares about eating sugary junk food?...

I have been having a lot of these lately...for example - last night part of my dream I was eating a HUGE jelly filled doughnut (which even when i used to eat doughnuts i never liked the jelly filled, lol) - but I remember in my dream eating this HUGE (like 3 x size of a normal doughnut) raspberry jelly filled doughnut and thinking "oh crap, i've failed again..." but i just kept SHOVING it into my mouth.

anyone else? or am i just wierd? (course that's a possibility as I know i am! lol)

LOL I've had dreams like this before! Like I'll be at a big table and just shoveling the food into my mouth! Just one big handful (no utensils) after the other and just going "nom nom nom" while I do it! I wake up and I'm like eeew what a gross dream! I have no idea why..maybe it's the mind's way of working out your fears? Like when you have a dream about loosing teeth or your hair? I just think its kinda funny and don't really linger.

I had dreams like that the first time I did atkins but none so far this time. But I also haven't had too many cravings this go around either.

Oh I am weird right there with you! Last night I was dreaming of crullers...you know those rippley kind of donuts? Those are my faves, and I was eating them and feeling so guilty! And I woke up feeling fat. LOL

I have had cravings for doughnuts but no dreams. I think it is one of those forbidden foods that can be hard to let go, even if you did not eat them before Atkins.
My dreams have been about KFC and other fast food fried chicken!!

lol yeah, I have them off and on. I actually had one last night about pizza. Its weird though because I don't really have any cravings at all. I haven't cheated once this time around. I'm kind of surprised at myself but I haven't had much desire to cheat.

I had them for quite a while when I started Atkins this second time--100% by the book. They felt so real that sometimes when I awoke, it thought I could still taste and smell the food. More than once I had to get out of bed to go check the fridge, pantry and trash can to make sure I hadn't actually consumed the evil carbs, even though I knew in my mind that I didn't even have any ___________ in the house! I, too, felt bloated and fat (and guilty) most of the time.
