| Summary |
When he was almost fifty years old, Tomlinson weighed an astonishing-- and dangerous-- 460 pounds. He was at risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, unable to climb a flight of stairs without having to catch his breath, or travel on an airplane without buying two seats. Here he chronicles his lifelong battle with weight, hitting the road to meet other members of the plus-sized tribe in an attempt to understand how, as a nation, we got to this point. He also chronicles the practical steps he has to take to lose weight. -- adapted from jacket |
