Following his "My 600-lb Life" success, Chad Dean released "I'm In Here Somewhere: Memoir of a Food Addict," written by Celeste Prater. Dean told The Ashley that he was inspired to do so after receiving the same feedback from numerous viewers: his story inspired them to get healthy. "That motivated me to spill out my life in the hopes that I can inspire at least one more person to save their own life like I did," he said. "My greatest hope is that someone will recognize their issues and stop from ever tipping over into morbid obesity."
Dean stressed that "I'm In Here Somewhere" doesn't spill any behind-the-scenes details on TLC. Rather, it chronicles his process of recognizing that he had a problem and how he worked to fix it. He urged others in similar situations to not turn a blind eye and to take action immediately. "Trust me, it's not fun to pay the piper later," Dean wrote. "Yes, I survived, but I have the scars on the inside and out. Stop the cycle now and live!"
The memoir appears to be resonating with the masses, boasting a 4.7-star rating on Amazon.
