"By the time he was a young adult, Gregg McBride topped the scales at over 450 pounds and wore a sixty-inch belt. Pretending airline seatbelts fits across his belly, eating out ot the trash to cheat on his diets, and working as an overweight stripper are just some of the misadventures Gregg endured as he continually tried to win his battle of the bulge. It was only when Gregg took an inward journey that he was able to free himself from his food addiction and take off more than 250 pounds of excess weight, which he's kept off for more than a decade. Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking in its honesty, Weightless is a tale of "food gone wrong" that chronicles the before, the during, and the after in a way that will inspire anyone who is ready for change"--Provided by publisher.
