Curveball - Sarah

Sarah’s life is complex and stressful. She fled to a new city after her best friend, Lewis, was killed in a car accident and, although she has always been overweight, losing Lewis has made her mistreat her body even more. She now weighs over 300 pounds, and is seriously worried about her health.

After Lewis died, she headed East, starting a new life as production and public relations manager for a theatre company and has begun coaching a rugby team. Her job results in her eating lots of rich meals as she schmoozes with clients. Her post-rugby social life is lived in the bar eating chicken wings and drinking beer. At home, Sarah self-sabotages with take-out.

With terrible eating habits, little self-control and a tendency to eat and drink alcohol whenever she's stressed, changing is going to be hard for Sarah. But now that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer, she really needs to deal with her issues and get healthy.
