When AJ Rochester is singled out as the ideal candidate for a television show on obesity, she is at first appalled and then resolved. Enough is enough. She vows to lose 40 kilos - not because she yearns to become a pretzel, but so she can keep up with her little boy and turn her life around at last. A funny, insightful and inspiring account of a woman who lost 40 kilos without losing her sense of humour - and discovered a whole new life. A.J. Rochester is a Sydney-based writer, performer, comedian, film-maker, singer, single mother and goddess. She is also the host of popular SBS series 'Mum's the Word.'
