Days 4 & 5 - ups and downs

Apr 02, 2011

Day 4 was my "bitchville" day. I felt absolutely psychotic at the grocery store, where all I bought was chicken broth, s/f jello & lactaid tabs. That wasn't the reason for my irritability though, and I'm not entirely sure I can pinpoint why I was so snappy. Oh, I'm sure it had something to do with seeing 9 straight clients that day from 9a to 7p and only consuming 400 calories. And my mom is "visiting" which basically means sleeping in our guest room and eating my husband's food while she comes up here to work for 4 days. With guests like these...... I know she is trying in small ways but on this insane liquid diet, small doesn't go very far with me.
Day 5 was the weepy day. Literally. I have been crying most of the day and pretty inappropriately. I usually pride myself on being able to have good boundaries and not be an emotional sponge, even when I have a client in front of me bawling his/her eyes out. But today..... ugh! I felt so disappointed in myself! Very unprofessional. I had a pretty emotionally intense session and just could not stop crying! I took two breaks in the middle of session and still found myself weeping to the point where the clients were upset. They understood being on day 5 of a liquid diet where I've been getting max 700 calories was a bit much, but I should have been more professional and just canceled sessions if I wasn't in the right frame of mind to see people. Oh, well, tomorrow's another day. Wonder what emotion I'll be experiencing on Sunday....
