had a stupid, triggering nightmare last night.
my sister was pregnant (she isn't) and had some unknown medical condition that she had to watch sodium and cholesterol very carefully. I was explaining to her about food labels and showing her what she needed to look at, and what limits she needed to set. But i was really critical of her in my dream, i was very mean. i would say things like "no, you can't eat that, it has too much sodium." where in real life, if i had a patient on a sodium restricted diet and we were doing the same thing (i'm a nurse) i would be much more gentle about it.
I woke up really triggered (thank god at least she wasn't watching calories or fat!)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
but what i was really saying above is thank god i didn't have to explain to her abuot calories or fat, how much more triggering the dream would have been. it was just somethign stupid like sodium.
I called her (my sister) and told her i was mean to her in my dream, and that i was sorry! she laughed and said it's okay.
