What insights did you gain from August about what it is like to be obese?
As a child, August tried to lose weight still had “hunger.” As an adult, August felt guilt about her food intake, was unable to lose weight, and still had this “hunger.” August struggled with finding employment and performing simple activities with her children. After choosing and receiving gastric-bypass surgery August noted that she hoped normal-weight people would not judge obese people as individuals simply lacking willpower. Throughout her life, August suffered stress related to her obesity, and despite her gastric-bypass surgery she still suffers mental and emotional stress about others suffering from obesity. It appears that August will struggle with lifelong issues related to her weight problems.
