ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF 2019 A “warm and funny and honest…genuinely unputdownable” (Curtis Sittenfeld) memoir chronicling what it’s like to live in today’s world as a fat man, from acclaimed journalist Tommy Tomlinson, who, as he neared the age of fifty, weighed 460 pounds and decided he had to change his life.When he was almost fifty years old, Tommy Tomlinson weighed an astonishing—and dangerous—460 pounds, at risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, unable to climb a flight of stairs without having to catch his breath, or travel on an airplane without buying two seats. Raised in a family that loved food, he had been aware of the problem for years, seeing doctors and trying diets from the time he was a preteen. But nothing worked, and every time he tried to make a change, it didn’t go the way he planned—in fact, he wasn’t sure that he really wanted to change. In The Elephant in the Room, Tomlinson chronicles his lifelong battle with weight in a voice that combines the urgency of Roxane Gay’s Hunger with the intimacy of Rick Bragg’s All Over but the Shoutin’. He also hits the road to meet other members of the plus-sized tribe in an attempt to understand how, as a nation, we got to this point. From buying a Fitbit and setting exercise goals to contemplating the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, America’s “capital of food porn,” and modifying his own diet, Tomlinson brings us along on a candid and sometimes brutal look at the everyday experience of being constantly aware of your size. Over the course of the book, he confronts these issues head-on and chronicles the practical steps he has to take to lose weight by the end. “What could have been a wallow in memoir self-pity is raised to art by Tomlinson’s wit and prose” (Rolling Stone). Affecting and searingly honest, The Elephant in the Room is an “inspirational” (The New York Times) memoir that will resonate with anyone who has grappled with addiction, shame, or self-consciousness. “Add this to your reading list ASAP” (Charlotte Magazine).

As an obese woman I related to much of this book but I still judged him for his "southern" diet. Now,apparently, the American diet. I was jealous -- if I ate what HE ate?? I'd be dead. And I never ate that badly- just too much --too many sweets, not enough calorie burn off. And then I hit menopause. Tommy, darling, you're lucky you're a man. Nobody warned me that when you hit "the pause" you also better cut back your calorie intake by at least a third. It's a horror novel called The Thickening. Around the waist. Anyway -- this book came close to describing the fears , rationalizations & excuses that drive fat people to overeat. Unless you are an addict -- you really can't know the whys. They'd make no sense. Same way I can sympathize with but really do not "get" an alcoholic. Just STOP. Hey, at least you don;t need booze to stay alive!! Try not eating for a week. Nope. Not the same. Food is an even trickier devil than drink n drugs, There is no getting away from it. And corporate America wants you to EAT. (they also want you to drink but, again, not quite the same) And food is served to...............children!! Food is LOVE. Tommy did get that point across & it's a universal truth. We should change it to Good food is love. But who wants that?? We want the sweets & the goodies. Love is SUGAR. Oh yeah. If you are not obese or an over eater, this book will give you a good idea what goes on behind closed doors for those of us who gaze longingly at food ads on TV & salivate when we drive past a bakery. We can't NOT think about food. And THAT is the thing that makes us crazy. There is very little, if any, relief from these cravings. It is too easy to get food. Heck just reading about Tommy's fav foods made ME want to go out & eat! I had to stop reading it late at night because it made me hungry!! Tommy knows what I mean. If you read this book and don't need to go out & get a snack................well.............don;t take this personally but I hate you. Because I wanted to eat something at just about every page of this book. And then I remembered..............oh yeah.............he is trying to lose weight..........think about that & avoid the refrigerator until the morning. Good book, funny & insightful. Also not edible which is a good thing.
