Being Fat Sucks!

At the age of 22 I decided that I needed to lose some weight, I was about 330 lbs and deeply depressed. When I was younger I was overweight, and I knew it. I was never far from a good teasing or taunting and I developed a complex. Compound this with the fact that I moved around a lot and never stuck around at the same school for more than a year and you end up with one interesting character. When I met the end of the rope and decided that I didn't want to live anymore I gave myself one more chance to change my life, and it worked. I lost 165lbs in a little over a year, I ended up being a feature in People magazine and got to be on several TV shows including the Today Show, E News, Extra and a few others. Life after success has been a struggle as well, but in new ways. I'm learning how to deal with the issues that I lumped in with being fat now that I'm not but it's taking some time, and that is why I want to write a book. I want to write a book about my life up until now. I want to make a serious but light hearted/dark humored book that covers the good and bad memories of growing up overweight and dealing with a broken home. I don't have the time, energy or knowledge to create a book myself so I'm looking for someone who does it professionally to help me. I've had to deal with some very delicate and dark things in my life so I want to work with someone that can help include the truth of a dark subject in a way that won't overshadow the overall message. Please contact me with your thoughts and ideas, I'm open to anything. Thank you!

Hi, Thanks for the opportunity to place my bid for such a wonderful topic. In the recent past I had delivered similar challenging work that needed in depth research and stepping into the client’s shoes to understand their thought process. After going through the requirement I am sure your work is one such engagement. I have more than 8 years of experience in ghostwriting and have authored close to 150 books. I specialize in writing on topics that need a lot of research. Please go through my personal message for further details on my bid. Please let me know your feedback after taking a look at the personal message. Regards, Shim

I'd love the opportunity to write this book for you. Genuine real experiences you'd had yourself makes a compelling story to tell to the others out there that are still struggling with being overweight. It's a really important matter that needs to be talked about and i'd love to help you flesh this out. Please read my pm for details on myself and your project

Dear Client, You could have taken that passage right from my life! I went through exactly the same thing since childhood and even passed by that gallows rope once or twice before becoming a Personal Trainer against all odds. I can relate to every aspect of your struggle and I think it is marvelous that you made such a success of yourself! I would love to help you convey the ups and downs in such a manner that the reader will be inspired while empathizing with the different obstacles you had to overcome. I am a published author and ghost writer of novels and short stories. My work is fast, creative and original and I can provoke atmosphere and meaning in words. Having been overweight and attending two schools a year during my childhood, being the new kid and overweight, I developed that defensive dark humor you mention. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need samples of my work. I'd be more than happy to help you with this book! Hope to hear from you! Kind regards, Tash

I have also had my share of experiences as i battled weight problem although i never got fifteen minutes of fame on Tv for it. I know the pains of working hard to maintain body weight, Get back to me we talk and work this. I could do a sample chapter for you if you so desire
