The Lives of Tao The Lives of Tao is a sci-fi book I'd recommend to all of you.  Basic plot overview is that there are aliens that form a symbiosis with humans and by accident on of them named "Tao" bonds with fat.  The first 100+ pages of the book has the fat being brutally shitlorded into normal human size so it and the alien can actually their goals.  As a bonus the alien also crushes all of the obeast's fat logic until the fat realizes that all it really needed was diet, exercise, and not having the will of a toddler to become thin.
