I used to have dreams about food all the time...and then wake up like you, Zymi, worried that I'd actually "eaten" the bad food...and ruined my diet!

The last few years I haven't had any such food dreams....and, while I'm not sure why....I can speculate .. sometime in my life I changed my thinking about diets in general. I stopped telling myself that I can't have this...I can't have that....and feeling deprived ...I started saying..."I can have this if I really want to....but I don't WANT to eat it. Maybe sometime I will....a diet isn't always forever.....it's not that I can't eat it....I just don't WANT to eat it....I can really do without it....today I don't need it..."

In essence, I think that type of thinking might have made me believe that if I cheated..or failed once, my diet wasn't ruined forever.....and I could pick up the pieces and move on. Once I got past that hurdle.....no more food dreams. Strange...isn't it?
