À propos de ce contenu audio

ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR

A “warm, funny, and honest…genuinely unputdownable” memoir (Curtis Sittenfeld) chronicling what it’s like to live in today’s world as a fat man. Journalist Tommy Tomlinson, approaching fifty and weighing 460 pounds, decided to confront the risks and realities of living in a body at war with itself.

At risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke—and unable to climb stairs or fly without two seats—Tomlinson had long lived in denial. Raised in a food-loving Southern family, he tried countless diets, saw doctors, wore Fitbits—none of it stuck. Until he decided it was time to truly change.

In The Elephant in the Room, Tomlinson recounts his journey with wit, grit, and searing honesty. His voice combines the emotional urgency of Roxane Gay’s Hunger with the personal intimacy of Rick Bragg’s All Over but the Shoutin’. From his own habits to America’s obesity epidemic, from shame and overeating to resilience and accountability, he explores how weight shapes our relationships with food, our bodies, and ourselves.

By confronting his compulsions and unhealthy patterns, Tomlinson doesn’t just aim to lose weight—he reclaims his life. This powerful addiction memoir and wellness journey offers inspiration to anyone navigating body image, self-esteem, or personal transformation.
