The BMI is a term that sounds technical and inhumane, but it is a measure that allows the medical establishment to try and bring some discipline to undisciplined bodies. I was a body, and there were many of us in this world living bodies like mine.#4 This book is about living in the world when you are not obese or morbidly obese, but super morbidly obese according to your body mass index. I left with a letter confirming that I'd completed the orientation session. It was supposed to solve all my problems, at least according to the doctors.#3 I was weighed and measured, and a consultation with the doctor followed. I had to hear the benefits of the gastric bypass surgery, which was the only effective therapy for obesity. I was 26 at the time and weighed 577 pounds. I do not have the strength or willpower to live up to the expectations of others, and so I have had to face my ugliest and weakest parts.#2 I went to a Cleveland Clinic to have my weight measured. Book Preview: #1 I do not have a triumphant weight-loss story to tell. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
