Wicklow Rose: I put off living for so long over my weight

Rose of Tralee contestant Jane Harrison tries to say yes to all life experiences now because she put off living for so long.

The Wicklow Rose, 26, lost 11 stone in recent years — she once weighed over 22 stone, but she had to regain lost confidence.

“When I was 21 I hit an all-time low and decided to get weight loss surgery. It was no way to live at all — I was just surviving more than living. That is why I say yes to all experiences now because I put off living for so long, “ she said yesterday.
