The only thing I would change about myself is my weight. After having three children I became obese because I didn't eat healthy and didn't take care of myself. When I was in high school I was much shorter than I am now, but 15 years later I've put on about 140 pounds. This has affected my daily life in so many negative ways. The first reason why I want to lose weight is my health. The second reason why I want to lose weight is my self-esteem and self-confidence. Lastly, I want to lose weight for my kids. The first reason I would change my weight is because it has a very big effect on my health. My doctor diagnosed me as very obese. Being obese can affect your health in many ways and my health has been affected a lot. This limits me from being able to do certain things. Being overweight has had huge effects on my asthma and has limited me from being able to do the things I enjoy. I can't do these things anymore because I get out of breath very quickly and have to keep an inhaler with me wherever I go. That's another thing...
