worked in health care until 1994 at that time I work in home health as I was

on my way back to the office a truck decided to make a right turn from the

left-hand lane and of coarse I was in the right lane. So now I'm dealing with

a huge weight problem but I have learn that one of the hardest things a

person as to learn is to live without your independence I had patients that

would fight and argue about not being able to drive and other things that

they did for there self's for years But Now I. Understand Plus other

opportunities that I have been fighting against.

Dear Flo,

I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart.

When I was young I had it all a flight attendant, a

model.... the looks, the bod, the brains. But I know

God thought " What have I done, there is nothing

here, no deep compassion , no love of life, no giving

from the heart. I slowly ended up overweight and my

life and career changed. I am a nurse, I have devoted

myself to helping children and helping cancer patient

with the dying process. I want to be a normal healthy

size Flo but I will never be that person I was, because

now my life is full, I truly have something to give

others,love, compassion, empathy, my trust...

and all this comes from deep within my heart. Am I

upset for how my weight turned out? NEVER///////////

Now that I have my real life, God has given me the

opportunity to now to find my real weight . I will

always be here for those who need me.
