Food dreams?

Does anyone else here have crazy dreams about food when restricting calories? Last night I dreamed almost all night that I was binging on everything I could find...and it's weird because I actually feel kinda satisfied in the morning lol. I wake up feeling guilty, but then happy when I realize it was only a dream? Just wondering if I'm not alone in this...

    I practice iifym, so I never deprive myself, even in a calorie deficit. I just make sure I'm getting my required nutrients.

    That being said.... I've dreamt of eating an entire sleeve of Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies before....goodness, they were good! Lol

    I've been dreaming of French pastries and croissants since I lived France 12 years ago. It's sad, really. But the dreams have got better since I found good bakeries in the area.

    So my advice is to find a way to eat what you crave within your calories (to be fair, I haven't had a croissant in a long time though).
