    OMG me too! And here i thought i was going crazy lol
    Don't worry, it was just a dream and it's all mental..i guess when you restrict yourself from certain pleasures, your brain kinda plays mind games on you..mine was eating those starbucks chocolate covered graham crackers...at least in our dreams we can eat the food and nothing can happen lol

      Ha ha ha!!! At least once a week since I started I have dreams that I eat something im not supposed to. In my dreams afterwards I feel so guilty and like a total failure. I keep thinking "Now I have to start all over!!! How could I do that??" Crazy! Its so real that Im actually shocked when I wake up and have to think for a sec if it really happened.

          Our dreams are usually our fears and desires. I honestly think the food dreams (I have them too) are actually fears, not desires. It's about the fear of letting ourselves down or failing. Okay, I'm really into dream interpretation.

            I have heard that those types of dreams are a sign of the deeper subconcious commitment you are making to your new WOE. I totally had food dreams too. My girlfriend had dreams that she was smoking when in reality she was quitting. I take them as a good sign and enjoy the french fries while you sleep.

              I mentioned this in another thread, about having odd dreams

              Mine was...

              I go to Subway, and order a foot long sandwich.. and it comes out to be 13 or so feet long of bread and I eat it ALL...

              Then I wake up. Always in a sweat because In the dream I am so upset while I eat because I know I am ruining my diet/weight loss.

                I just found your thread today, kale, and I had posted a similar one to it this past week! I've been having dreams like this about 3 or 4 nights a week, and it's the same thing. I'm eating my dinner and look down and it's something WAYYYY off limits, like bread or ice cream or potatoes and I just start crying and freaking out!

                I just hope the dreams go away, because while I'm sleeping they're incredibly upsetting, and while I'm awake, they're incredibly confusing--I don't even want the food I'm dreaming about!!

                Hope your food nightmares disappear...and good job on your cheat free status!
