I actually just went to a nutritionist recently, and she asked me if I've been dreaming about food. I said no - She told me what that meant, anyways. She said that food dreams are linked to you slowly becoming 'obsessed' with food - not actually EATING it, but obsessing about NOT eating it. You need to relax on your diet a little bit, and give yourself a little breathing room. If you restrict yourself too much, you'll one day just EXPLODE and eating everything in sight, and won't be able to stop - Trust me!
As your diet progresses, there is nothing wrong with having a "cheat meal" not a cheat day, but one meal where you eat a small portion of a favorite food. Just work it into your calories for the day. You will get something you really like and stop obsessing over never having those favorites. I've lost nearly 50lbs in 3 months and have had a few of those cheat meals. You gotta keep yourself happy or you won't last long.
Simple..we want what we can't have..and so we think about it constantly. Yup..i've had the same experience.
I have this all the time!! Really embarrassing as it is, at least I'm not really eating it. I am quite a bit obsessed with food and find myself constantly going in supermarkets to buy food and just spend absolute ages checking labels - then i usually walk out without buying anything. People must think I'm mad, but i really cant help it. I see all the calories and fat content and it freaks me out. So that's why i guess i have reoccurring dreams (and nightmares) about food.
The worst of it is that i'm not even on a diet!
