And the # is.....

Hey All,

Ang...I am glad that the pre-op went well today. I was thinking about you a ton, and hoping the everything was going smoothly. I personally think that your eating is going fine. Given the situation, not bad at all. You are doing the portion control thing well, which in my opinion in really more than half the battle. Dont worry about the eating tomorrow. I remember when I had my surgery years ago, the thought of eating was the last thing on my mind. Best wishes for tomorrow. You are such a tough (but adorably cute) girl, that I know you will kick some booty tomorrow. And if anyone can make a front strapping bra sexy, it is you my dear! I will be thinking about you. Please let Clay and I know if you need anything. I love ya!

On to my day. Clay is right, the weigh-in was a bit tramatic for me. My immedidate thought after stepping off the scale was Holy 'uck! Not good...not good at all. I had made up my mind that I wasn't going to post the weight. The thought that of that, and what people will think when they hear it, makes me want to cry. Now that I think back, I did actually cry. But in thinking about Angie and how tough she is being with anyevery thing, I decided to post it. Please view this Ang as my show of support. Don't judge me, trust me, I am doing enough judging of myself. I Natalee Christine Regel, age 23, 5 feet 81/2 inches tall weigh 151 pounds. Ugh....i just gaged as I was typing that. Given that a mere 5 years ago I weighed about 120, it have grown quit a bit. In my mind, I want to weigh 120 again. Though I am not sure that is healthy or realistic. I am trying to think through what is a more realistic and healthy weight to be. Not sure what this is yet, but my thoughts are flowing. Would love perspective on this....

Apparently the weigh in was too much for me, because I went home from work early today (which you know is something that I never do). I had such a horrible headache that I couldnt focus on anything. I got home at 4:30 and thought I would lay down for an hour. 3 hours later, I woke up, and was sooo confused. I thought it was the morning and I had overslept. I checked my BB to see what time I my first meeting only to realize that it was 730PM. I guess I needed the sleep.

My eating:
English muffin with PB, half a yogurt with granola and strawberries. I got the fat-free vanilla yogurt that the cafe has, and it was terrible. There was no way I was getting that whole thing down.
Turkey sandwhich with cheese, lettuce, tomoato, and a little mayo. A peach yogurt.
I snacked on fruit during the afternoon. There was leftovers from a meeting and the strawberries were amazing.
I ate dinner late given the long nap and the fact that as soon as I got up I went to the house to finish my painting. When I got back I had a baked potato with recuded fat sour cream and a PBJ sandwhich. I am finishing my a Frostie Float with Diet Coke as we speak. I should have probably skipped that.
