Publisher's Synopsis
A bully made me hold his poop one day.he shoved me into the bathroom and forced me into a stall where he had just done his business, and forced me to grab his poop out of the toilet. When I refused, he kept kicking me viciously. Seeing me holding his poop brought so much sickening pleasure to his face. His gang members had already surrounded us and watched in amusement as their hero restored their faith in him. They all took turns punching and kicking me. My body was sore and I had blue bruises everywhere. This was all because I was fat. My appearance intimidated him. He beat me every day in second grade because of that. This nightmare still haunts me to this day. I never thought I would share this awful memory with anyone. But here I am writing a book about bullying and obesity. I grew up an obese child in Egypt. I lost 50 kgs (135 kgs - 85 kgs) at the age of 17, opened my fitness business to help people change and lose weight, and stayed like that for four years. Then, gained 30 kgs in a span of two months due to losing my business and some other bad incidents. I realized that obesity is an endless war. I realized that a small change in your lifestyle is so much better than short life span restricted food plans. That is why I wrote "I AM NOT FAT" to share my experience with obesity and how to cope with it and live freely. Also, to inspire and motivate as many people as I can. I have been through very very tough times, but I am really grateful for them. They shaped my character and made me a better person. To anyone who is reading this and struggling in silence. I wanna tell you, you are not alone. We are in this together. We are not FAT.
