3 restless sleepless nights,3 nightmares about the ex and T-Day is ON!!; Day 24
I’ve been up most of the night. Poor Rodney is going to kill me for being on the computer at 5am in the morning. This is the third night in a row I had a dream, more like nightmare about the ex. I don’t know why. In each of them he acted like himself; a selfish, dominating, overbearing bully. I wish he would just leave my head permanently. He is nothing but trouble. So lately whenever I’m out I sort of look over my shoulder, half expecting him to pop up and give me hell. So far I’ve been lucky. Every time he enters my life there is nothing but chaos. Right now the last thing I need is drama. We’ve been dramafree for a while now. Pray he stays away from me forever.
Due to finance reasons, I cancel my traditional Thanksgiving dinner; after being the chef for 15 years, everyone was sad that we have to split up and eat at our relatives houses. But my cousin came through yesterday. She’s buying all the food as long as I prep and cook. No problem! I can do this! :) So T Day is back on. Nothing less then a 23 pounder and the traditional fixings.
I forgot to mention in my last blog that I am beating the battle against grazing! Whoo hoo. Last night Jack n the Crack was visiting my house via Rod but I was not tempted by one fry. Take that you crappy fry!
Today I have my favorite kickboxing and yoga combo to do. Still taking it easy with my right ankle. If I have to put a brake on a few poses, so be it.
Hope everyone is off to a great start this short week!

Hang in there girl! It’s only a dream. Have a great Monday!
Oh sweetie, sorry to hear that you have those dreams. But keep in mind that’s all they are…dreams! Hope you have a sweet dream tonight!
And good job on showing them fries who the boss is.
Great start mama! Much better than the one I had this morning! LOL

Journi, I just sent you an email.
Great job on the no grazing!
Hey girl, don’t let that creep bother you ! I hope you get some sleep soon ! Have fun at your class and take it easy on that ankle ! Have a great Thanksgiving ! Hugs, Kimmi

Oh I wish I could get rid of my ex but we have 2 kids together. IT would be etter for them if he would leave for good.
Good job on staying way from those fries!! Keep up the good work you are looking GREAT!!!
Well, at least if he’s only there in your dreams, you can give him a big dream punch in the face!
Good job on (not) grazing. Just remember, the ex only has power over you if you let him. That includes in your dreams, so don’t give him the power.

Ick, just the thought of my x makes me sick to my stomach
I’m really sorry about the nightmares, hope they go away quickly, you need some sleep girlfriend!!!
Good job on passing up those greasy fries…YOU ROCK!!!
That was so sweet of your cousin to buy all the fixins for Thanksgiving!!! You’ll have a wonderful holiday!!!
Hugs
Jane
stay safe from that ex. maybe u need to do some sort of ritual to get him out of your head, write a letter to him and then burn it - that kind of thing.
woo hoo to the rest!!!!!!
Woot! Grats on T-day being back on the plan!
I too do it all here at my house and have such a fun time of it. Got two turkeys this year, a 12 lber and a 25 lber. Going to cook the smaller one Wednesday and get it all carved and ready to go to add to the platter Thursday. Man, I LOVE this holiday! Let’s me and you make a pact right now though, to eat whatever we want within reason….stick to portion sizes and only eat until we’re not hungry!
Sorry to hear about the nightmares continuing. I was going to suggest the same thing that Debbie die…write him a letter telling him to get the hell out of your head and then burn it. Make it a full on ritual sort of thing.
Take care! ***hugs***

OMG! That should say that Debbie DID…not die. Sorry. >.
Okkkkkkkkkkkkkk…..you guys are making me cry!!!!! Wahhh
Thank you. I think I will do that. He was so abusive to me and I guess with the holidays coming up I think about all the lonely years I spent by myself…..ok TISSUE ANYONE? I NEED A BOX!
I will sure be praying for you. I have gone thru that myself ot just takes times. Good job on no grazing, and I am so happy you get to do your dinner!! Love you!
I had weird dreams about my ex too recently…he doesn’t bother me as much as he used to, but he still watches me. Luckily he is too busy being School Senator and working toward becoming the President of the United States in the future.
(yikes, that might give me nightmares)
But stay safe and stay away from him!
Congrats on not grazing on the fries! I know how hard it is to walk away from fries and onion rings!
Hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving day!
I think the ritual thing is a good idea. I did something similar long ago…I think it worked.
Hey Nancy, I really hope you get a peaceful sleep tonight-NO dreams about him!!!!!!!
(really like the idea of burning a letter about him)
Great job as the no grazing continues!
Have fun fixin’ that yummy meal!! Enjoy!!

First things first—I love the new picture!
I’m sorry you are having nightmares about your ex—and I sincerely hope he leaves your life forever! You are such a wonderful and beautiful woman, you deserve peace and happiness in your life!!
And Rodney, I want to kick his butt—I don’t care how big he is!! Seriously, what is he doing bringing Jack in the Crack home? Tell him I am catching the next flight out and he better be ready for me!! I am on a mission!! LOL!!
I am glad you resisted girlfriend and I am also glad you are winning this battle!! I am so, so very proud of you! Now go on and get some sleep!
Warm milk helps!
Sorry to hear about the trouble sleeping, that’s just awful…
I hope you feel better soon mentally, and enjoy your workouts!!
