Getting fat

You are suffocating with difficulties around you and you have a habit of worrying a lot. The stress is impacting your life in multiple ways and your subconscious is signaling you to take some time off from the daily hassle.

Being fat

You might also be stressed about aging or becoming ugly. Everyone ages, youth is another phase and you have to let go of it.

Losing fat

You’ll solve some difficulties that were like a dead weight on you in your waking life. You might have been dealing with some issues in your personal or professional life.

Your dream suggests that you will finally be able to walk out of your problems. Your subconscious asks you to fight more because you are really close.

Rapidly losing fat

Your current situation probably does not allow much time for yourself and your health is slowly deteriorating.

You need to be aware of your eating habits and invest some time solely for yourself and your body. Otherwise, you might fall sick as per this dream interpretation.

Dream meaning of seeing someone familiar fat

It symbolizes that this person might cheat you of any measurable or immeasurable thing from your life.

Your subconscious says you can never expect back the same amount of love or kindness from others. So, you must stop giving away so much to undeserving people.

However, if you find this person genuine and feel like supporting them, go ahead and see how you can deal with the situation.

Being fat-shamed

Your life revolves around how the people around you perceive you. Your confidence has always been shaken by a single negative word from others. 

This might be an aftermath of old injuries that you haven’t recovered from yet. Accept whatever happened in the past and you will regain your lost confidence.

Your partner stopped loving you because you are fat

It suggests you are anxious about your relationship and your partner leaving you. If you had a nasty fight with your partner, try making up with them. 

Or, you might be feeling guilty about doing something behind your partner’s back. In such a case, you should confess and talk it out. A foundation of lies cannot strengthen any relationship.

Treasure him/her as both of you deserve happiness instead of insecurities.
