Product Overview
Al Rokers aha! moment came a decade ago. He was closing in on 350 pounds when he promised his dying father that he wasnt going to keep living as he was. That led to his decision for a stomach bypassand his life-changing drop to 190. But fifty of those pounds gradually crept back until he finally devised a plan, stuck to it, and got his life back.
Never Going Back is Rokers inspiring, candid, and often hilarious story of self-discovery, revealing a (now slimmer) side of his life that no one knows. With illuminating and sometimes painfully honest stories about his childhood (as the husky boy in class), his struggle against the odds to make something of himself, and his family life today, Roker reveals the effects that a lifelong battle with weight issues can have on a personand how, regardless of the frustration and setbacks, you must never lose faith in yourself (just inches).
Al is telling his story to inspire others to lose the weight theyve always wanted to lose, keep it off for good, and regain their health. He knows firsthand that it is a day-to-day process and that unrealistic diets rarely work (he has tried most of them!). And, most important, he knows that losing weight is as muchif not morea state of mind as of body. Thats why hes here: to recharge your willpower and see you through it like a friendwith warmth, humor, and a healthy new outlook on life.
