<p>I wanted to write my common app essay about weight loss. I lost 85 pounds over 2 years and this REALLY helped me with my self confidence. The problem is however, I think weight loss is a generic, over used topic. But at the same time, it had a real impact on me and helped shape me as a person.</p>
<p>Any advice? should i try writing about weight loss or just avoid that topic?</p>
