Strange thing lately

Back when I use to be "good" on diets I would have these dreams at night where I would be eating everything in sight. I'd wake up in the morning and be freaked out that I had really eaten all of that, and once I started waking up more I would realize it was just a bad dream.

Well lately, I keep having these dreams that I am back in my old body again. I wake up feeling like the "old me", but then as I wake up I realize, that again, just a bad dream. Then there is this overwhelming peace that comes over me when I realize that the "old me" never has to return. I wouldn't get that peace before with the bad dreams because deep down I knew I would fall off the diet wagon.  This surgery has truly changed my life!

That's awesome, Holli! What a neat story. Live in that peace. :)

It is a life changing  experince that you can be sure of. It was definetely one for me, Way to go!!!!!!!!!

I have dreams that I am at a buffet and I am eating everything as fast as I can...It seems like it takes hours and hours for me to eat it all.  Then I get so upset because I would eat everything and then I would look at myself in the mirror and see myself fat like I was.  I am just horrified to see myself.  Then I just cry and cry.. I wake up crying and I run to the mirror just to take a look at myself for reassurance.  That feeling of horror when you wake up and think your that big again is just awful.  Then I see that I am thin and I am so relieved.  Man, I don't have any eating issues do I?  lol  I

I think of that dream when ever I feel like I want to eat what I am not supposed to...Kinda keeps be on track..I can sympathize with you when you have that overwhelming peace when you look in the mirror after such a terrible dream.. I know I still have issues with food, and body iimage but I am working on it and I will get there.  Till then, I am enjoying my new body and love trying on those size 8-10 cloths!!!!  Like you,  surgery has changed my life!!!!
