Memoirs; Coping with illness

When a fifty-five-year old agoraphobic, diabetic, compulsive overeater who weighs in at 324 pounds suffers a heart attack, the shock accelerates a tolerable mid-life crisis into a death struggle between where she appears to be going in life and the quite different place she wants to be. Magnificent Obesity is an inspirational, self-help memoir about trying to stay afloat and get ahead despite a nagging fear that life has already left you behind.

When Martha Moravec was admitted to the hospital complaining of chest pains, she couldn't believe she was having a heart attack at 55. This watershed moment in her life was a wake-up call, setting her on the path to regaining her health and her ambitions. This inspirational memoir carries readers along on a current of optimism and anxiety, of fear and determination, as an indomitable woman works to put her life back in order, losing weight, improving her health, and realizing her dreams.
