Description

A raw, honest memoire Obesity is an epidemic in the United States. Despite all the attention paid to health and health and fitness, there is no vaccine, no operation, no medication that is guaranteed to cure or control it. People with obesity have to fight their own way through contradictory medical recommendations and the belittling attitudes of the World at Large. It seems so simple—just eat less—but the reality is incredibly complex. Like many chronically obese binge eaters, p0rtia has been a superstar at losing massive amounts of weight. Like many more, it was maintaining those loses that repeatedly defeated her. For over four decades, she lived on a roller coaster, losing over 100 pounds three times, gaining it all back twice. This book is the chronicle of that ride. It is told in short, personal reminiscences and ruminations that describe both the emotional and the day-to-day realities of living with obesity. There is no advice here, just the story of repeated failure and the winding road to success.
