I had this dream

UsedToBeHusky

I dreamt last night that I was completely emaciated. That I had lost so much weight that I had become sick. Of course, I have no intention of letting that happen. I have been eating very healthy and exercising. I am nowhere near emaciated or in danger of becoming sick. I haven't even made it to "overweight" status yet. Can anyone give me some interpretations? I recently had some anxiety about my weight loss, but why?

I know what you mean. Every time food appears in my dreams, I get anxious and scared, regardless of the context it appears in.

In our weight loss journey, we are not only shedding pounds, but all of the emotions and binge eating that led us there. As we tackle those bad habits, the real us is able to shine through because the layers are gone. Maybe it was a divorce, miscarriage, childhood bullying, etc. that led you (or those reading) to and unhealthy weight. Perhaps there is something all those layers that you need to face..and perhaps it's not pretty. In that case, I am definitely referring you to a real psycologist.

Or, there's always the really weird dream category!

i would say thats more a nightmare lol, but i actually noticed that when i exercise i have stranger dreams than when i was less active...i think its due to increased activity in the body and brain and chemicals are flowing and censors being stimulated that were not always active and im adjusting, or i may just be fudged up in the head! but you just gotta keep doing what ya know is right and like you said your in no way emaciated and keep makin good choices and you wont be!

good luck!
