Synopsis

This book started off as a joke. It was a creative way to excuse my lack of self-discipline. I was creating characteristics for my Fat Gene frienemies and using my imagination to give them personalities to justify me being overweight in my own humorous way. Then, I had a serious reality check that made me face what was slowly killing me. Obviously, Fat Genes do not talk, nor are they beings that can sabotage your weight loss. For me, they were just a fun excuse to justify me not loving myself as I should. This book is a journey through my up-and-down battles with becoming healthy and getting to a healthy weight. My desire is for my story not only to entertain, I want readers to laugh because they can relate to my weight-loss shenanigans and I hope it is an eye opener for those who have never struggled with weight and do not understand how someone would "allow" themselves to be unhealthy. Most of all I want readers to know that whether it is weight, alcohol, drugs, sex, work, television, a pet, or a loved one, most of us have some sort of vice or addiction that is distracting us from being our best self, from being who God ordained us to be.
