My reason(s) for applying for Biggest Loser are:
I truly believe that I need to be in a controlled environment where I can fully dedicate my mind, time and energy to losing weight once and for all. 

I first realized I was overweight and needed help when:
I have been overweight since I was 9 years old but only decided I needed help this year. I have finally realised that if I don't do something about my weight now I will most likely never get rid of it and have some serious health problems in the future.

I hope to lose weight but gain:
Happiness; life; fitness; strength; self-control; patience; friendship and belief in my own abilities. 

The previous contestant I have found inspiring was (and why?)
Damien; because of his 100% commitment to each challenge, despite being the largest contestant.

The best part of being on Biggest Loser is:
Being surrounded by like-minded people who are all working towards the same goal and experiencing the same feelings, emotions and struggles.

I am preparing myself for this journey by:
Thinking about how much I truly want to change my habits, lifestyle and body now and into the future.

I think the most difficult part of being on Biggest Loser will be:
The exercise and being away from my gorgeous friends, who I rely on so much in my everyday life.

My biggest weakness is:
Comfort eating whenever I am sad, stressed or bored.

Some bad habits I would like to get rid of are:
Smoking; over-eating; over-indulging; impatience and lack of belief in myself.

The one thing I want Australia to know about me is that:
I am strong and independent woman who can reach her goals.

I think I will win the Biggest Loser because:
A woman has never won before and I think I have the physical strength to push through and claim the prize. Although, losing my weight will be worth more in happiness than any money could ever bring.  

One thing I have never done because I was overweight and will do once I lose the weight will be to:
Try skydiving- you have to be under a 100kgs.
