- Synopsis
- Richard Simmons has helped countless people find the courage, support, and knowledge they need to surmount all the obstacles that keep them from losing weight and getting fit. Now America's celebrated and self-proclaimed "court jester of health" shares forty moving and inspiring stories of people he has helped. In Richard's own inimitable style, he tells you about: --Nancy, the bride whose attempts at dieting ruined her marriage and almost drove her to suicide--until she discovered the meaning of discipline and confidence and managed to drop 112 pounds! --Tommy, the boy who realized that his father's death was no reason for him to give up on his own life and well-being. --Donna, the wheelchair-bound woman with muscular dystrophy who found that she could exercise, lose weight, and feel better despite her physical limitations. These are but a few of the shining real-life examples of seriously overweight people who never thought they could bear the odds and slim down--until Richard gently taught them how to value themselves and how to fight for a healthy and fulfilling life. Their struggles, triumphs, and affirmations will touch your heart, motivate you in your own fight for fitness, and even help you face many of life's darker moments. The perfect gift for anyone who has ever faced the challenge of an eating disorder or weight loss, this book can show you, too, how to NEVER GIVE UP.
