Fat Boy Chronicles- Summary

So far in the Fat Boy Chronicles, there have been a lot of accomplishments for Jimmy, (the main character). In the beginning of the book, Jimmy set a goal to lose 60 pounds by the end of the year. So far, Jimmy has set his mind on this goal and is making the sacrifices for to achieve it. Some of the things that jimmy is doing to lose the weight is he is trying to run almost everyday, also Jimmy is working out in his room by doing things like sit-ups and push-ups. What drove Jimmy to make these goals and be so passionate about them is because when he went to the doctor for a normal check-up, Jimmy was told that if he didn't lose some weight, he would be fat for his whole life. I like the way the author introduced Jimmy's problem because he sort of just dropped us into a problem and made us care about Jimmy. The author also used factors like bullying and Jimmy's love life to get us to relate to him.
