Yo, when I was thirteen, I weighed 255 pounds and already had high blood pressure. My family doctor told me I was "morbidly obese." I had a problem. I liked to eat . . . and eat . . . and eat. But when Mom told me that the whole family was going to be on a reality TV show called Growing Up Gotti, I finally made the decision to change. No way did I want to be seen as the Fatty Gotti by the entire world. With the support of my mother, my doctor, and my lacrosse team coach, I got to work. I learned all about food, dieting, and exercise, and created a program for myself based on common sense, portion control, and moderation. And the results were great! I lost eighty pounds in the first year! Once the weight started coming off, I started working out, turning fat into muscle and toning up. I also did aerobic exercise and found stamina on the lacrosse field that I never had before. Now friends come to me for advice on starting their own diets and exercise programs. So listen up -- here, in this book, is all the information you need to get started -- my program of portion control, fat and calorie counters, great-tasting healthy food recipes, and exercise. It's the program that turned the Fatty Gotti into the Hottie Gotti.
