We all talk about obesity and Mrs. Michelle Obama has created let’s move. But like any other well intentioned bureaucracy the average kids can’t get into it because there are no grass roots. Or if you want a grant it is given to PHD and university the kid on the street does not have any direct benefit. Amos Knoll is changing it. He has written a book “The Chubby Conqueror “it will be out March 2012 it’s not a diet book it’s an inspirational book, a motivational book and he is building a major Social network, TrimLand. A grass root foundation for all to participate in.

The book 
 
The Chubby Conqueror is an inspirational and motivating book, which has many spinoffs, but most important it will have its own social network, “TrimLand .” 
 
The book is about a 12 year old boy named Billy. He sees on TV an interview with the First Lady trying to stop the obesity epidemic, and talking about all the diseases it causes, from clogging arteries to high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. 
 
He writes a letter to the White House about his concern for his obese parents, because he is afraid that they can die from obesity related illness. He then realizes that he himself is obese. The First Lady writes him back and invites him to the White House, and Billy becomes the poster boy for “Obesity.” This book is the inspiration, motivation, and empowerment that is needed to lose weight - mind over matter. It takes one through all the trials and tribulations Billy has to go through in his own mind to be an inspiration to all the kids in his school and the country. Billy gets inspired to help all the other obese kids, and comes up with various methods, by using the internet, to create the “Trimland Club,” a Social Network club. At the same time, he convinces many famous people and top industry executives to join the cause. This is the new trend, and the right thing to do, which is why all the fast-food restaurants will want to be part of this new program, to become a “Chubby Conqueror” on the way to “Trimland.” 
 
Billy will show the kids that people can see what they are so they have to learn to accept themselves, and not to be embarrassed or ashamed. That is the first step. Then they are ready to take the next step of becoming a “Chubby Conqueror.” This requires a real commitment to oneself, and then one can always brag about what he/she has accomplished. It will show kids not to hide from what they are, but rather to empower themselves by setting up goals and not being afraid. In addition, they will have created this new found confidence in themselves, enabling them to admit and share with friends what they really weigh, or they can shout out their weight to the world, because then they have accepted how they look and they are willing to become a Chubby Conqueror.  
 
In addition, this will give the kids bragging rights as the weight goes down. This will also be an important life lesson -to never ever give up. It’s all about confidence building. It is amazing how everyone will want to help those who want to help themselves reach their goals. The first step is to believe in oneself like Billy did.  
 
Ever notice that a lot of heavy people stick together? Now imagine they all belong to the “Trimland Club,” a Social Network that would encourage them to see the winner they could be. Envision them on the Chubby Conqueror Facebook,”TRIMLAND,” and tweeting about how much weight they lost, or the contest they have won, or about the “Trimland Club” meetings they are attending. 
 
 
 
Preface  
 
To all the Chubby Conquerors that will join me in “TrimLand”… 
 
This book is dedicated to all the wonderful boys and girls whose parents may have also shown them love by rewarding them with unhealthy foods, like sundaes, chocolate, fries, and other unwholesome foods. Unfortunately, too much of these foods can cause really scary medical problems, like clogged arteries, high blood pressure, diabetes, and much, much more. We love our parents, we thank them, but now through science and better understanding of how the body works and interacts with food, we will create a lean, healthy generation. Along the way, we will educate our parents on how to be Chubby Conquerors, too.  
 
This is not a diet book! This is a book of inspiration, encouragement, and motivation to all the young ladies and gentlemen who want to be healthy and journey to “TrimLand” with us. You can find many books telling you how to exercise, which foods are important, what to eat, when to eat and what not to eat. Yet, in the end, it’s up to you, “You are the master of your fate.” You have to create within yourself a lifestyle change, which is a mindset. So let’s work on something that you can control: your brain, because your mind needs reinforcement until healthy habits become second nature. This all comes down to conditioning your mind to create healthful habits. It will be difficult at first, but don’t worry, that’s normal. Just like any Olympic champion, through training and repetition, you, too, will build good habits and a strong mindset.  
 
Yes, you will slip sometimes and have a sundae or a piece of bacon (oops), that’s normal, but your friends on “TrimLand,” a new Social Network for millions of kids who want to go to “TrimLand,” will be there to encourage you to get right back on track. And professionals will be there to help you 24 hours a day, as well. 
 
That is what this book is all about, empowering your mind so living a healthy lifestyle becomes natural. One day you will look at the ice cream sundae or the bacon and say, “I don’t need it,” smile and walk away. That’s when you will have become a Chubby Conqueror, just like an Olympic champion. You just need to be patient, while you are working towards your goal. It took you a long time to gain the weight, and it will take you time to lose it, too. It does not mean that you can’t have ice cream or bacon sometimes, but you will know when you can have it and how much, once you become a champion, which you will. Just remember, you are part of the “TrimLand Social Network,” and we are a team with the same goal: to lose weight and be healthy by becoming a Chubby Conqueror. Just believe in yourself and follow me to “TrimLand.” I believe in you! 
 
Introduction from Billy 
 
I would like to introduce myself formally to all my friends and friends to be. My name is Billy Davis, and I am every one of you. I have dreams just like you, and like you I’m heavy, fat, or obese, whatever sounds better for you, but deep inside we all know what we are and what we want to be. 
 
When you read this book, pretend that whenever you see my name, Billy, that instead you see your name. Whether you are Michael, Makayla, George, Tom, Diana, LeToya, Caleb, or Allison, you will see that you can be a “Chubby Conqueror,” too. 
 
We all can make excuses as to why we are the way we are, but that was yesterday. Today is a new day, and today is the first day of the rest of your life, so happy birthday. If you care as I do about being healthy and happy, then this is the day you and I take control of our lives. 
 
You can do it. It may not be easy in the beginning, but I know if you see yourself the way you want to be, you will succeed; you cannot fail because you are me and I cannot fail! Just imagine that you want to be an Olympic star, just look at yourself as a gold medal recipient because becoming a “Chubby Conqueror,” truly makes you winner! 
 
We are on this journey together; you are no longer alone. Together we can do anything to which we set our minds. So let’s move to TrimLand, and become “Chubby Conquerors” together! We can do it!! 
 
Your friend, 
 
Billy
