What do you guys think about writing an essay about weight?

<p>Is it too much? (Bad choice of words here....) Do you think that it's too common or perhaps not what they're really looking for? If I do this, I promise you, this will not be a sob story as I have no intentions of belittling myself for an essay.</p>

<p>In what way? How you overcame weight loss? Anorexia??</p>

<p>I read two really good, honest essays about the need/desire to lose weight and the steps taken to that end. Not anorexia-style weight loss. As I recall, the people were accepted at their first-choice schools.</p>
