Carnie Wilson's story is a journey from the darkness of a lifelong struggle with emotional rejection, compulsive eating, and morbid obesity into the light of health. Born the daughter of pop music royalty (Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys) and gifted with her own talents that brought fame and fortune, she came to feel that none of this mattered. She would never be whole and happy until she achieved a healthy weight and body image. Carnie's story has inspired millions of morbidly obese people worldwide and she has become a symbol of hope to those who suffer from the stigma, pain and dread that this affliction visits upon its victims.
