About the book

A poignant, funny, and, above all, honest look at obesity from the inside out. Is it the goal of life to be thin, or to be happy? In this inspiring story, those two elusive goals become one, as a fat man learns acceptance, loses the guilt, and gains the wisdom to manage his weight. A self-proclaimed "fat man" who is also a happy man--successful in his career, marriage, and friendships--Mike Berman has earned his insight and peace of mind through decades of personal struggle. Here, this well-known political activist and Washington lobbyist never shies away from the pain and daunting challenges of being seriously overweight. But Berman has an important message that he wants to be heard: Fatness is not a moral failing, but a disease; and once it is accepted as such, it can be successfully managed.--From publisher description.
