My
name is Lindsay Briggs. I am 5’6
and 190 pounds and this is my essay
on why I want a transformation.
I
am 22 years old with a million
dreams and my whole life in front of
me. However there is one thing in
the way of accomplishing my every
hearts desire. Me and the negative
self-image I have of myself. I am a
smart, cheerful and bubbly person
that does everything I can, not to
attract attention to myself. Plain
and simply because I am ashamed of
the way I look. Through out all of
my teenage years I was overweight.
In 1997 I reached my highest weight
of 230 pounds. In the year 2000 I
finally realized I was overweight.
I had nothing to blame it on, no
medical condition, no family
history, nothing. In fact I was the
only overweight person in my
family. Even though I knew they
loved me I couldn’t help but feel as
though I was a disappointment to
them. So I started walking and
eating better. I lost 40 pounds.
But that is where I have stayed; I
have been around 190 pounds for 2
years now. I still walk all the
time and eat well but I feel
completely stuck.
Why
do I want a transformation? First
and for most I want to be healthy.
I want to have more energy and
confidence. I want to love myself
and allow other people to love me.
Am I ready to be transformed?
YES!!!
Am
I committed enough to complete the
16 week challenge? Again my answer
would by YES!!! I am ready to start
living and enjoying my life to the
fullest. I am ready to stop hiding!
Thank you for taking the time to
read my essay, I really hope to hear
from you.
Sincerely Lindsay Briggs |
