George looking in the mirror!

With its unique mix of drama and astonishing computer graphics, Body Story reveals just why losing weight is such a tough battle. George’s body is stockpiling vast fat reserves beneath his belly. It is preparing for the famine it evolved to expect at any moment. But the famine never comes — so George just keeps growing. When the girl of his dreams deserts him, George decides to take on his own body chemistry through a campaign of diet and exercise. But as fat is liberated into his bloodstream, his body fights back, as it tries to hang on to its precious reserves.
