Résumé
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 You can hardly pick up a magazine or turn on the TV today without encountering a torrent of talk on weight But all too rarely do we hear from overweight people themselves especially men about how life feels inside the body of a fat person Mike Berman shares that story in this hopeful and uplifting memoir A self-proclaimed fat man who is also a happy man successful in his career marriage and friendships Berman has earned his insight and peace of mind through decades of personal struggle In Living Large 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
