Confessions of a Fat Guy (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

I've been heavy starting in the 5^th grade. Except for a brief period between 19 and 25 when I was in great shape, I've been overweight. Confessions of a Fat Guy is an autobiography of what it's like to be in a world that sees overweight people differently. They assume we're lazy, out of control, and too sensitive to a tease or a joke about fat people.

I'm a big guy. By that I mean tall and big. I look like an offensive lineman in football. I'm 6'2" and have a big frame. My lowest weight as an adult was 220 pounds and I was pretty thin. I worked at a hospital and had a lot of interested nurses for dates. Mind you, none of them were interested when I was heavy, but now I could have some fun. I enjoyed being thin. But it didn't last. The weight gain started again and before long; I was back to my original weight.

The teasing was rough in high school and grade school, but as an adult, it was much more painful.

This is my story. I'm publishing it mainly for overweight adolescents and teenagers. The overweight adults will also benefit from it, but if we can stop it early when the child starts to gain weight, we can save them a lot of agony by helping them eat right and exercise. This will become a huge health issue in the near future. All of these obese children and adolescents will grow into adults with significant health problems like diabetes in there 20s and 30s.

This book shows my path. But I think it's an important book for anyone who has struggled with weight.
