		<description>Damn. Since I was a kid I heard how fat I was from family and "friends". I thought I was the hugest person alive. I look at old photos of me and I really wasn't all THAT huge.  But now I am the heaviest I have ever been and desperately trying to lose the weight.</description>

Trust me, it's even more moving when you see the book up close and personal.</description>
