Synopsis
One manOCOs humorous and heartfelt journey through his year-long attempt to regain his health and change his life. Where does one draw the line between being a lifelong foodie and a food addict? Edward Ugel is 36 years old and weighs 263 pounds, or as he likes to think about it: 119 kilograms. "I'm with Fatty" chronicles UgelOCOs attempt to follow doctorOCOs orders and lose fifty pounds or risk dropping dead while standing in line at Popeyes. It details the complex love triangle between himself, his wife, and all the crispy, braised, barbecued, and saut(r)ed goodies that heOCOs been feeding himself ever since he could say the words OC to go. OCO Ugel sets off on his yearlong journey to figure out how to live in a world without dim sum, smoked Italian meats, and the pleasure of cooking whatever and however he wants. He spends his days torn between two worlds: nutritionists and personal trainers versus pancetta and Hnagen-Dazs. ItOCOs a war of attritionOCoeach side has its share of victories and utter failures. Lovers of narrative nonfiction will relish this contagiously readable book that looks back at UgelOCOs complicated history with food, obesity, and the ruinous effects this lifelong relationship has had on him. Filled with humor, ultimately this is a book about the private hell of being fat in America and about the fragile male psyche and the seldom-discussed issue of male body image. "IOCOm with Fatty" is a funny, candid, raw, and personal story of weight loss from the male perspective. It is a narcissistic battle of wills between the author who loves food more than oxygen and the man who knows that his very life depends on the success of his OC Fatty Project. OCO "IOCOm with Fatty" takes the reader along on a difficult, frustrating, embarrassing, and inspiring journey, one that is the last great hope of a man desperate to save his own lifeOCoor at least own a pair of pants that fits.
