Jimmy - Fat Boy Chronicles

Jimmy is just your average incoming freshman that happens to carry a little extra weight. This Story is actually biased off a true story about a boy named Doug that went to Mason High School a few years ago. Jimmy gets teased for his weight by his class mates. Jimmy's goal in the beginning of the story is to lose 60 pounds. At first its a struggle with all the TV ads and his constant craving for a Big Mac from McDonald's. Jimmy eventually learns to control his cravings and begins to loose weight like no other. But there is just one problem; the kids at school are still making fun of him and it gets really out of hand.

At the beginning of the year Jimmy doesn't have very many friends. The only friends he has are from his youth group at church. He sits with them at lunch. As the year goes on and high school gets to his only friends the start to not like jimmy anymore. Jimmy's friend Whitney, starts getting into trouble and he thinks she is disgusting now. Now Jimmy is only left with Paul. Paul starts smoking and using drugs because his mom is drinking and his parents are fighting, but that doesn't make Jimmy think less of him.

Throughout the story Jimmy realizes that you should be excellent for yourself and not for anyone else. The kids at school still make fun of him for his weight even though he has lost so much weight from the beginning of the year but now he holds a lot of more confidence then at the beginning of the school year.
