My biggest secret revealed


Ok, Now Im going to reveal a secret that I have not told a single soul. I feel it is important to do this to validate my blog.
When I started Jenny Craig on April 12, 2009 I weighed 190 lbs. That is a lot of weight to pack on a 5'2" frame. No wonder my ankle snapped like a twig when I went down.
Here is a picture of me while the paramedics were working on me. It took at least four of them to heft me up off the floor. When I worked in hospitals (I am an RN) and had to move heavy patients, I used to think that these people should have been more thoughtful of people who might have to take care of them. I know it was an irrational thought. The chickens came home to roost on March 27 when I became the patient. As of now, I have lost 21.5 lbs. 168.5 lbs is still a lot to carry on my frame, and still a lot for someone else to lift or move.
But thats ok. Because Im on my way to finding the Sallee that was lost in all that blubber.
Amazing Grace.. once I was lost, but now Im found.
