Sample Book Insights:
#1 I do not have a triumphant weight-loss story to tell. I do not have the strength or willpower to live up to the expectations of others, and so I have had to face my ugliest and weakest parts.
#2 I went to a Cleveland Clinic to have my weight measured. I was 26 at the time and weighed 577 pounds. I had to hear the benefits of the gastric bypass surgery, which was the only effective therapy for obesity. It was supposed to solve all my problems, at least according to the doctors.
#3 I was weighed and measured, and a consultation with the doctor followed. I left with a letter confirming that I’d completed the orientation session. I was not unique. I was not special. I was a body, and there were many of us in this world living bodies like mine.
#4 This book is about living in the world when you are not obese or morbidly obese, but super morbidly obese according to your body mass index. The BMI is a term that sounds technical and inhumane, but it is a measure that allows the medical establishment to try and bring some discipline to undisciplined bodies.
