What if losing weight required a full-scale military operation?
When Eoin steps onto the scales and sees 250.5 pounds, there are no excuses, no grand promises and no inspirational speeches.
Just one word:
Enough.
Unfortunately, somewhere deep inside the machinery of his mind, The Weight Loss Committee immediately declares a state of emergency.
Led by the fiercely loyal Chairman-and hindered by the spectacularly overreactive Department of Panic-the Committee launches Operation 175, a mission to guide Professor Eoin from 250.5 pounds to his target weight.
There are surveillance operations.
There are drones.
There are classified weigh-ins.
There is an investigation into electrolytes.
Chicken supplies become a matter of national security.
And Eoin's wife, Jennifer, may or may not be a double agent working for Calories.
While the Committee argues, panics, predicts disaster and produces mountains of unnecessary paperwork, Professor Eoin does something far less dramatic:
He keeps going.
Inspired by a real weight-loss journey, The Weight Loss Committee: The Extraordinary Case of Professor Eoin is a funny, unusual story about discipline, self-belief and the madness that can happen inside our own heads when we're trying to change our lives.
Beneath the absurdity is a simple idea:
You don't have to win the whole battle today. You just have to keep your word to yourself today.
And whatever happens...
prepare the chicken.
