{"product_id":"9781450087698","title":"Behind the Weight","description":"My memoir describes my struggles with being  \u003cbr\u003eoverweight. I describe my encounters through these  \u003cbr\u003esituations with my words of sarcasm all the while  \u003cbr\u003estaying true to myself. How can we as a society focus  \u003cbr\u003eon the person behind the weight? With the problems  \u003cbr\u003ethat surround us on a daily basis, how can we develop  \u003cbr\u003enew ways of thinking and speaking, so that our future  \u003cbr\u003egenerations are not offended and labeled because of  \u003cbr\u003etheir size? I am happily married, a dedicated teacher  \u003cbr\u003eand I am FAT. I provide suggestions on why we as a  \u003cbr\u003esociety should stop obsessing about weight.  \u003cbr\u003eEveryone has problems some choose to hold  \u003cbr\u003ethem in, shrug them off, act out aggressively, talk to  \u003cbr\u003efriends\/family members and many may even seek  \u003cbr\u003eprofessional help. I choose to share mine with the  \u003cbr\u003eworld. My problem is not as serious as other issues  \u003cbr\u003efacing our world, even though it is constantly being  \u003cbr\u003ediscussed in homes, on recess yards, in lunchrooms,  \u003cbr\u003eat social gatherings, and in the media. Seems  \u003cbr\u003erather serious right, why does my problem of being  \u003cbr\u003eoverweight have to be society's problem? Why can't  \u003cbr\u003ewe all just stop obsessing about weight?","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180562465008,"sku":"9781450087698","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781450087698_p0.jpg?v=1763832621","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781450087698","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
