I'm With Fatty: Losing Fifty Pounds In Fifty Miserable Weeks (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
I liked the author's voice and found it refreshing to read about weight problems from a man's point of view, but I can't say that I got any inspiration from it. The author didn't seem to progress much in his attitude toward food and self-indulgence. I realize that his experience may actually be more realistic than that of many weight loss accounts, but I wanted to see him gain a little more insight into why he eats too much (and the wrong things). I may sound like I'm a person with no sympathy for "fatties," but that's not true, since I am one myself. It's just that when I read this kind of book, I'm looking for answers for my own benefit and I just didn't find many here. I thought this was a candid look at food addiction and one man’s weight loss journey. It was humorous and inspiring. I recognized the eating habits and the self-destructive, self-sabotaging behavior described, and was inspired by his success, despite the ups and downs of his ‘fifty miserable weeks’. And he had help, a lot of help. There are so many books out there that seem to indicate that you have to do it alone or at least imply that it is a matter only of self-discipline. It was nice to read a book where the value a supportive family and friends was obvious. I would give it five stars but he has a bit of a potty mouth and I’m the one handing out the stars.
