About this product
Product Information
In the tradition of Roxane Gay's Hunger , a searing, honest, and candid exploration of what it's like to live as a fat man, from acclaimed journalist Tommy Tomlinson, who decided he had to change his life as he neared the age of fifty weighing in at 460 pounds. When he was almost fifty years old, Tommy Tomlinson weighed an astonishing--and dangerous--460 pounds, 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. Raised in a family that loved food, he had been aware of the problem for years, seeing doctors and trying diets from the time he was a preteen. But nothing worked, and every time he tried to make a change, it didn't go the way he planned--in fact, he wasn't sure that he really wanted to change. He was only one of millions of Americans struggling with weight, body image, and a relationship with food that puts them at major risk. Intimate and insightful, The Elephant in the Room is Tomlinson's chronicle of meeting those people, taking the first steps towards health, and trying to understand how, as a nation, we got to this point. From buying a FitBit and setting an exercise goal to contemplating the Heart Attack Grill, America's "capital of food porn," and modifying his own diet, Tomlinson brings us along on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery that is a candid and sometimes brutal look at the everyday experience of being constantly aware of your size. Over the course of the book, he confronts these issues head on and chronicles the practical steps he has to take--big and small--to lose weight by the end.

Looks good. Another GREAT eBay purchase. -Acrylic Paint Pens- I hope to order more once I've become acquainted with them. These pens are individually wrapped in cellophane and look very nice, and professional. The box is heavy with pens. As an on-canvas artist I think these are a great purchase. This is my eBay page. https: rb.gy/mckra Thanks. +++++

Fast shipping, the product cane exactly as described. This is a competent seller who cares about the customer experience. I will happily do business with them again. The item was listed as “acceptable” but it was in good condition. I understand the subjective nature of classifying used items and I appreciate that the product was better than described.
