Dalceada's Entry: I should be selected because i do not like what I see when I look in the mirror. I used to be very athletic. I have a hard time doing daily chores. I tire easily. I watch my kids play, and I want to play with them. I have no energy. I want to live a healthier lifestyle for myself and for my kids.

It is not healthy for me to be this weight, and I know it will lead to other problems. I want to be around a long time for my kids. I am a single-parent, and the thought of my kids growing up without me hurts.

I did not realize how fat I am until I picked up some pictures and took a look at myself. I could not believe that was me. I know that there are a lot of people who weigh much more than I do, but I really hate the way I look.
