Brief Author Bio: I'm 22, a personal trainer, x-english writing major (before I dropped out to personal train) who attended 4 different colleges. i'd like to write a novel based on my experiences as a trainer working with different types of people and what I've learned from them. |

Synopsis:
When a young personal trainer is about to give up on his life, a young, overweight boy changes his perspective by giving him someone to live for and care about.
Excerpt:
And Mrs. Baylon; something was missing from her life too. Or maybe missing wasn’t the right way to describe it; that something had left her life, and was missing now because she didn’t know where it was. Where he was. Surely he wouldn’t recognize her now; it had been years. It had been over ten years. Ten years of emptiness and ten years of eating and eating and eating, with no remorse, no guilt, and no fill for the missing piece inside that was “forcing” her to slowly kill herself.
Obesity though, is contagious. It can’t be passed by shaking hands or be caught through someone else’s sneeze. But according to the Surgeon General, if a child is overweight, they have a 70 percent chance of becoming overweight as an adult. This increases to 80 percent if one or both parents are overweight or obese.
Mrs. Baylon didn’t recognize it, but with each trip to the drive-through window, and each bag of cookies she brought home, she was slowly and unknowingly killing her own son.
