Description
"Completely transparent, Sean throws IT ALL out there...emotional trauma, sexual abuse, drug addiction, morbid obesity, accountability, weight loss, faith, transformation, as well as a call for reforms in the fitness and healthcare industries. Inspirational," Dr. Kipp Van Camp, physician - author of "The Secret of Rocks Hyraxes."
Sean's 'come to Jesus' moment; at 687 pounds and confined to his home with his two young daughters, Sean's wife lay in a hospital bed giving birth to their third child, another little girl, Mackenzie...in that seminal moment, Sean realized he would never walk any of his girls 'down the aisle' because he would likely be dead by then. Immediately after that sobering thought, Sean took action. He picked up his phone and began calling local fitness trainers and gyms. Thirty trainers were called. Each declined his cry for help.
Discouraged, Sean made one more call. That call and the man who answered Sean's plea for help would not only help Sean transform his life, and turn Sean into an internet fitness sensation, but, together, they'd also create The Obesity Revolution - a non-judgmental, take-action, 'we are family and we've got your back' organization.
But...how did Sean BECOME morbidly obese? What life circumstances led Sean to develop addictions to drugs, alcohol and, as a sober adult, replace those addictions with an emotional addiction to food? If you are battling any addiction you may find his story is also your story. His triumph can be your triumph, as well.

Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

When Sean’s wife was in hospital giving birth to their 3rd daughter, he had a moment of stark realisation – his weight (over 600lb) might not allow him he chance to see his daughters grow up.
Sean knew that he needed to make changes, but where does a morbidly obese, close-to-housebound person start? Over 30 fitness trainers & gyms were not willing to help … but Sean made one more call. Brandon Glore answered & that phone call changed both their lives, and would go on to change the lives of many others in Sean’s position.
This book is Sean’s story – a brutally honest book that touches on difficult topics including addiction, emotional trauma & sexual abuse as well as a significant dollop of faith. "
