  • A
  • moving,
  • funny,
  • tongue-in-cheek
  • memoir
  • about
  • a
  • woman
  • who
  • lost
  • and
  • found
  • herself
  • online.Nancy
  • Makin
  • weighed
  • an
  • astounding
  • 703
  • pounds
  • in
  • May
  • 2000.
  • She
  • was
  • forty-five
  • and
  • suffered
  • from
  • obesity-related
  • maladies.
  • Due
  • to
  • shame
  • and
  • logistics,
  • she
  • was
  • homebound
  • for
  • a
  • dozen
  • years.But
  • all
  • that
  • changed
  • when
  • she
  • received
  • a
  • computer.
  • In
  • cyberspace
  • she
  • found
  • the
  • friendliness,
  • the
  • connection,
  • the
  • acceptance
  • and
  • the
  • nurturing
  • she'd
  • been
  • missing
  • for
  • so
  • long.
  • She
  • followed
  • no
  • particular
  • diet
  • plan;
  • no
  • surgeries,
  • pills,
  • potions
  • or
  • ab-crunching
  • exercises
  • played
  • a
  • part,
  • and
  • yet
  • today
  • Nancy
  • has
  • lost
  • more
  • than
  • 530
  • pounds
  • and
  • kept
  • it
  • off
  • for
  • more
  • than
  • seven
  • years.
  • Her
  • tale
  • is
  • one
  • of
  • redemption
  • and
  • shows
  • a
  • growing
  • America
  • that
  • there
  • is
  • hope...if
  • you believe.
