My reason for applying for The Biggest Loser:
To finally lose the weight, after all these years of struggle. Now is the time to face my demons and suceed in life.
I first realised I was overweight and need help when:
I was in year 8 and had just started high-school in WA – it was a hard experience.
I hope to lose weight but gain:
Confidence within myself.
A past contestant I’ve found inspiring is:
Adro – he was so hard working and it paid off. I see a bit of myself in him, he was a great inspiration.
The best part of being on The Biggest Loser is:
The education I will gain in living well and learning how to be a healthier person.
I am preparing myself for this journey by:
Accepting that changes that have happened and the changes that will come.
I think the most difficult part of being on The Biggest Loser will be:
The workouts, but at the end of the day I want results – I want to change.
My biggest weakness is:
Anything sweet.
My biggest weakness is:
Binge eating.
The one thing I want Australia to know about me is:
I am a strong person. Even after these unhappy years I still have the strength to seek change and want a better life for myself.
I think I will win The Biggest Loser because:
I want this and I’ll work hard all the way – you have to work to earn it.
One thing I have never done because I was overweight I will do once I lose the weight is:
Walk into a shop and buy off the rack.
