I have a strange question . It's about stages of losing weight and my memory .
i don't know how to simplify it but i'll try.
i put on some pounds over the past 7-9 years .Now following proper healthy diets and exercise . i am 25 now .
This is the delimma .
whenever i am losing weight lets say i lose 5 pounds that takes me to time in my life when i was that weight ( 5 pounds lighter ) ..and i get the same feelings and sensations i had when i was at this new weight , when i was young .
Now lets say i lose 10 pounds ( same thing ) , I feel the same sensations and feelings i had when i was that many pounds lighter , when i was young .
What is this phenomena called ? I have never heard anyone talk about this or asked about it till now . I think an answer would really help me . It will really make my day. Has anyone else felt this way ? What is this called? Why am i feeling this way ?

Its a self regression that you are doing. I was sure that is what it was when I was reading your question, but then I called my mom and she confirmed it. (She is a hypnotherapist). Anyway, the best way that I can explain is its a form of self hypnosis. The average person goes through hypnosis 2-6 times a day. Example: Have you ever been reading a book or watching a movie and you are aware there are other things going on around you but you don't notice them? Or have you ever driven somewhere or done something and when you got there or finished, been like "wow, I didnt realize I was doing/I did that?" Thats hypnosis. Its the same thing that you are doing, but more in depth. People will pay lots of money do do past life regressions and life regressions. They do it to figure things out and maybe to get some answers. (Answers to fears, release of painful memories, remembering things that happened to them as children.) Anyway, you are really lucky that you can do this on your own. Its an amazing phenomena If you want to talk more about it, email me at baby_majiclove@yahoo.com. I love talking to people about these things!

I've read about this. I think it was in a book called, "The Taboo Scarf" by a therapist. He was helping a woman who had a lot of weight to lose, and every time she lost some, she would go back to the feelings she had at that weight. So, this has happened to other people. I believe it will go away after about three weeks. You have to deal with the things that caused you to gain the weight, whether it's emotions or feelings or something else. Good luck!

I think it's just because you are the same size as you were back then. You have the same mobility the same energy. I don't think there is a word for it. It's a little bit like when you smell a certain soap and you feel the way you did years ago when you used it.
I have all kinds of things like that. Especially with scents that put me in the place I was when I used to smell it a lot. (I've lived in different countries.)
It's just the miracle of the brain. They say everything you ever experienced is in there (bar any brain damage) the only difficulty is in trying to retrieve it at will.

so certain weight will remind you of the time when you were at that weight. alot of people will be reminded of the time im their life in which something represent, but it will pass. maybe there is something at that weight and time that happened and you repressed it, and you want to let it out.
