I was looking for competitions to win a laptop and found one under the Skill-based section to submit a video to BUPA with the theme of "What healthy means to you." I finally got it done with only a few hours to spare. I was not expecting it to even appear on the page becasue the videos were moderated but it did, so I had to frantically rally all my friends and family to vote for my video. I was quite amazed at the response and my simple little video finished in the top 10. It was selected by BUPA as the overall winner of a MacBook Air Laptop. The video was shot on small camera with no fancy props and no editing. The clip is going to be used as part of their TV advertising. It was particularly meaningful to me because I have lost two stone in weight since last August and finally gained the confidence to allow myself to have fun - and not care what anyone else thinks.
