Foods and Eating Habits WRT Past Lives

Hi
I am writing for the first time so please excuse me if I make some mistake in writing /expressing myself.


By reading this thread, I feel like sharing the weight issue I am struggling with for past more than 20 years. I am 41 now and as long as I remember I am struggling to loose weight.....The issue is bothering so much after marriage as my husband of 15 years has become a fitness freak after may be giving up hope of seeing me slim. My height is 5' 2" and my weight is 80 Kgs, and loosing weight is the only issue in my life which I seem to have no control on....the harder I try to loose weight the more I seem to gain.


I can't stop eating snacks.....


I count myself as a tough and determined person who is working well professionally and solved many big issues both professionally as well as personally, loosing weight is the only thing that I am not able to handle


Many time I sought professional help also but never able to finish the courses offered.


could it be related to some past live or some karmic lesson that me and my husband has to learn in this life.

Hey bharti, I want to say thanks for adding to the thread (I have no problem understanding your posts, don't worry about that!) and I'm sorry to hear about your troubles there. I think what you've mentioned is interesting. From what I've seen around online, sometimes people do identify with eating habits having roots in past life experiences. Situations where one is denied food or where food is very scarce is something that I've seen mentioned as something that some found to be linked to the way they eat in a current lifetime. One example being a past life prisoner of war, another a victim of famine... things like that. You may find it worth looking in to for yourself, I don't know about karma or what you identify with but there are a lot of times in history where one could get caught up in something that would affect one in that way.


Checking around this forum there are lots of examples where others have found success overcoming past life issues by looking into them, what do you think about it?
 
I like the food I grew up with (central/eastern euro), and I like anything fresh from the garden. I hate red meat and I hate steak in particular. I like chicken soup including all the bones and skin and everything that swims in there, especially if it's made on a wood stove. I like tea with vodka in it and I like beer, I hate sodas. Cof-fee yes! I like go around and pick pears and apples and mushrooms. I like lots of spice and people say my food is spicy. I love fish and potatoes and cabbage, sauerkraut, pickles, euro food in general.
 
I believe that all my food and eating habits have come from this life. My food preferences are so strong that I am positive they will carry on to the next life.

This is interesting because I've often wondered if my "eating disorder" came from a past life. I am what they are calling an "extreme picky eater." I only eat bland foods like potatoes for example, no spices, condiments, etc. If I go to Wendy's for example, I'll get a burger with just meat and bun and fries (no ketchup). I always thought I was just a whack job, but then I find there are a lot of people out there who are the same. It's not a case of just not wanting to eat something, the gag reflex kicks in, and it's truly embarrassing if you are out with people and that happens.

Hi Misty,


I am the complete opposite of you! Though I was born in India I have lived in the U.S. for most of my life. I absolutely love Indian food, especially home made food. I find Indian food so much flavorful and full of nutrients and feel so much more noursihed compared to american food. A lot of times I will pick up fast food when i am lazy and don't want to cook but I simply dont get that same nourishement.

I have been eating pretty much everything with no problems - raw/cooked fish and meat, vegetables, soups & stews, dairy. All what I am picky about, is coming from the current life.


There are only two odd things - I can eat sweetest dessert/cake and be happy but I cannot drink very sweet drinks (sugar or smell wise). Teas and candles with sweet smell give me a headache & nausea.


And I get gag reflex very easily (small grain of coffee and I am nearly puking :D ) And I love porridge & puree soups but find them hard to swallow. It makes intake of medicine of similar consistency very hard to swallow because of gag reflex. But it may be just odd thing of mine & not PL related.
 
I've always hated alcohol even though I barely have tasted it. I have an irrationel fear of getting drunk, and i've never been drunk before. My family makes fun of it, but they are not mean at all. Maybe this is past life related?
 
I have had alot going on with food this life.. Severe food senstiivities where I was only able to eat five foods for many years as my body lacked enzymes to break the chemicals in the different food groups.. Fortunatley which have been cured with treating for a virus in my liver.. yellow fever from the live vaccine I got in my teens..


But underneath beyond the physical assault to my digestive tract .... I have had several memories around food..


My one and only flashback / ie awake without trying to remember was a life in the holocaust.. and hungry and trying to protect my two sisters and giving up my food to try and keep them alive..


Another life also in the holocaust where Dr Mengele was doing experiments on a disease called Noma.. which is affects of starvation.. I was force fed supplements .. and my twin sister was starved .. In a regression I saw my twin sisters face skin was black and diseased . Someone on this group told me about the disease called noma. I googled and sure enough Mengele was doing experiments around this disease..


Then the one with my now parents.. Living through being lost in the wilderness / could have been this event .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donner_Party


where then as a child I was having to eat human flesh/ I feel my actual then parents bodies.. It at the same time that I got over the issues around my now parents that I got to finding out help through homeopathy to be healed of alot of my food intolerances... so a possible emotional / karmic ? connection ..
 
As a young child, I hated any soggy food. Wouldn't put milk on cereal, wouldn't eat croutons in salad, and so on. Where that came from is anybody's guess.

Maybe it reminded you of "slop" you were fed as a prisoner?

I don't remember ever being a prisoner, but the two lives before this one were affected by war. European civilians in the 1930s/1940s had to eat whatever they could get, and the glorified garbage fed to soldiers in WW1 trenches was infamous.:eek:
 
I really love beer and cheese. Those are the two things I just can't get enough of (although I've recently decided not to drink anymore). Probably has more to do with my ancestry (German and northern Euro) than past lives, but who knows.
 
I think for me it's not what I eat but the way I eat. I tend to eat very fast and swallow my food down.


I have often received comments like "Slow down. It's as if you have never seen food before".


Maybe it's pl related. Who knows?
 
I eat usually (unless alone or in the right company...this might seem strange :D ) quite fast. I can't take pleasure of my food unless I am an a appropriate setting. When I used to go to birthday parties as a child and that I knew that we would get each two pieces of cake, I would still eat the first piece of the cake very fast so I would get a second. I knew that it was unreasonable, but I still dit it. When I went to buffets, I did the same. I took a lot of food and stuffed it down quickly if I could get a second serving. If I could only serve myself one time, I ate very slowly, make each food last the longest by doing a little practice of mine..If I had a croissant for exemple, I would eat one by one the flakes, then take of the crases, then take small pieces of the inside of it. When making choices for snacks I would always get the one that lasted the longest,like for exemple, a maxi large lollipop or a venti frappuccino. But I usually would only get small things, I would get a bit anxious and eat it very slowly.


I think this is perhaps past life related but at the moment I have no verification.


As for food, I like basically all types of food exempt traditional american,central & northern european food (exept France). I mostly prefer mediterranean,arabic,southern asian and african cuisine. For most european cuisine (exept Greek), I never use my fingers, especially at a restaurant. One of my friends tried once to make me eat pizza with my fingers but she failed ;)


This might be because I was strongly educated to do so, although it used to be extreme..so there might be past life connections. As for Greek, Middle-eastern or african cuisine, I eat with my fingers if it is suitable.
 
  • I have always felt strongly that I was meant to be a vegetarian. I was an unusual kid, who liked vegetables and not meat. I like the smell of meat cooking, but do not like the feel or texture of eating it. When I was growing up, I was especially disturbed by eating anything that looked like a dead animal, such as whole crabs, or meat on the bone. It was strange in my family--they are all meat eaters. I exasperated my grandmother, who thought you should ideally eat meat at every meal, and who saw me as just a fussy eater.
    I love animals, although on an intellectual level I believe it is not wrong to eat meat--but it has always felt wrong for me. I developed some taste for meat and fish as an adult, but still could only eat small portions and never ate meat every day. Interestingly, it was after I started to get in touch with my past lives that I decided, at age 43, to become a vegetarian. It wasn't related to any specific memory, I just felt like I was being true to myself. A year and 4 mos. later, I am still a vegetarian, and have no regrets.
    Interestingly, the only food allergy I am aware of is an allergy to pork. I know this is unusual. I have eaten small amounts of pork in the past without a problem, but have become very sick to my stomach or broken out in a rash at other times. So even when I ate meat, I avoided it. It was very interesting when I traveled in Germany and Austria in my 20s. I was a vegetarian while I was there! It also contributed to me feeling different, and intrinsically separate from the culture, even though I have some German heritage.
    The pork allergy also has made me very aware of Kosher dietary laws. Somehow avoiding pork, not mixing meat and milk, etc. makes sense to me, and at one point in my spiritual journey, even though I am not Jewish, I considered keeping Kosher. I used to work for a facility for people with dementia and advocated for having Kosher meals available, when the facility was considering eliminating them to cut costs. I also would get upset when I saw Jewish people who were confused eating pork, because I didn't know if they would be o.k.with it or not, and I would always try to find out from their families if they had avoided pork before they had dementia. I know some Jewish people who avoid pork, even if they do not keep Kosher. I also know some that are vegetarians.
    Interestingly, I have often gravitated toward Jewish people and culture, and I currently work at a place where many of my co-workers and clients are Jewish. When I am privileged to hear a religious service at the facility I feel blessed, and I love the sound of Hebrew prayers. When I went to Israel, I felt an incredible spiritual homecoming and tie to the land, which I attributed to having some possible Jewish heritage. I often tend to look at issues from a Jewish perspective, and people sometimes think I am Jewish. I know that I am not, but somehow I feel strangely inauthentic, and like I'm hiding something by being a Christian.
    I strongly suspect now that I was Jewish in my most recent previous life in England and France in the early 20th century. I don't believe I was religiously observant as an adult. I was trying to be a modern, independent woman! But I wonder if I lived as a vegetarian so I could move about in the world without eating pork as a connection to my culture. I was an artist, so being a vegetarian may have just been seen by my friends as a creative quirk, but I suspect it had a deeper meaning for me. During WW2, while I was caring for my disabled mother, we probably ate the bacon that was part of our British war rations. I suspect I felt guilty about eating it, and even more guilty about feeding it to her, but we had to eat. Could that be the source of my allergy?
 
According to Dr. Brian Weiss women may overeat because they were sexually exploited in a past life. Subconsciously they want to become overweight and thus unattractive to me.

The possible connections between starving in a past life and overeating are more obvious and could affect males of females I guess.
 
My taste in comfort food drives my wife nuts. When I am craving something it's usually
a nice big raw onion chopped in sour cream with honey and vinegar or a dried salted fish, hard cheese and onion sandwich with coarse mustard. I wish I was back in 11th century England. I've craved this since I was a kid
