Book Description
The Weight You Carry: My 125-Pound Weight-Loss Transformation takes readers on a journey with Tanner Jay, growing up overweight and desperate to gain his self-worth through the approval of others. To do so, he identifies as the "funny, fat kid" who always makes people laugh. Motivated to lose weight because of his desire for a girlfriend, Tanner researches and tests countless diet plans and exercise regimens to find his weight-loss secret sauce. Remarkably, it's the relationships he develops along the way that make his story unique and in which he finds love and support. Through his ability to be open with others and make lasting friends he discovers, to his surprise, that even beautiful people carry secret insecurities. By initially sharing his progress on Twitter, Tanner trended with 86,000+ impressions for a single Tweet. The more he lost, the more strangers praised or sought his counsel. Tanner is forthcoming about his struggles with obesity, weigh-loss techniques, and diets to consider. Anyone trying to lose weight, interested in fitness, or striving to gain approval from others will relate to this book, but it's the deep dive to find life's purpose rather than the importance of appearance that is unexpected.
