My reason(s) for applying for Biggest Loser are:
Wanting to lose weight after attempting diets that have never worked; to be away from my temptations at home and to focus on my health.

I first realized I was overweight and needed help when:
When I was shopping for the exact pair of jeans and I could no longer fit into them and have to go a size up.

I hope to lose weight but gain:
Confidence and to find a happy place with myself.

The previous contestant I have found inspiring was (and why?)
Kristie; she had such a busy life before/after Biggest Loser and still managed to lose weight whilst not at the White House.

The best part of being on Biggest Loser is:
The people who will help me through my journey; to be away from my outside temptations and helping myself for once.

I am preparing myself for this journey by:
Realising nothing is easy and knowing that I have to work hard.

I think the most difficult part of being on Biggest Loser will be:
Being away from my family and friends and the support they give me.

My biggest weakness is:
Food.

Some bad habits I would like to get rid of are:
My stress and emotional eating.

The one thing I want Australia to know about me is that:
That I’m a strong person who won’t give in.

I think I will win the Biggest Loser because:
I am strong both mentally and physically and because I deserve to win- I want to change my life.

One thing I have never done because I was overweight and will do once I loose the weight will be to:
To walk into a clothing shop and pick anything off the rack and know it will fit. Also, to wear a bathing suit and feel comfortable in it.
