When obesity became too heavy a burden to bear, would one man give into despair... or reinvent his world?

Dan Hawthorne anticipated death. After an innocent childhood relationship with food turned into a destructive adult habit, he dreaded seeing his 650-pound self in the mirror. But on his darkest night of the soul with his sinister inner voice berating him, the desperate man cried out to God, was heard, and formed a plan to redefine his image, his health, and his life.

Determined to see himself as valuable once more, Dan began to fight the demon in his mind with positivity and saw the numbers on the scale gradually shrink. And after steady success, he realized his true purpose was to support and inspire others trapped in the same battles. In this brutally honest account, self-remade man Dan Hawthorne speaks out about the patterns that led his life to crumble, the pivotal moment that motivated intense change, and how a divine hope carried him in the hardest times. And through his deeply personal insights as he fought his way back to health, this big-hearted role model's raw story offers an encouraging look inside

obesity and promotes kindness and love.
