Description

Sean's 'come to Jesus' moment; at 687 pounds and confined to his home with his two young daughters, Sean's wife lay in a hospital bed giving birth to their third child, another little girl, Mackenzie...in that seminal moment, Sean realized he would never walk any of his girls 'down the aisle' because he would likely be dead by then. Immediately after that sobering thought, Sean took action. He picked up his phone and began calling local fitness trainers and gyms. Thirty trainers were called. Each declined his cry for help.

Discouraged, Sean made one more call. That call and the man who answered Sean's plea for help would not only help Sean transform his life, and turn Sean into an internet fitness sensation, but, together, they'd also create The Obesity Revolution - a non-judgmental, take-action, 'we are family and we've got your back' organization.

But...how did Sean BECOME morbidly obese? What life circumstances led Sean to develop addictions to drugs, alcohol and, as a sober adult, replace those addictions with an emotional addiction to food? If you are battling any addiction you may find his story is also your story. His triumph can be your triumph, as well.

So inspirational! Great read.

Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

Sean Mulroney's journey to a new life is told in brutally honest and deeply moving stories of a traumatic and troubled early life that is the backstory to his 647 pound body.
His journey is not over - his body will not allow him to be the best he can be, but this journey is both motivating and inspiring.
