Muhammad Ali's Daughter Khaliah wrote a self help book called "Fighting Weight". In it she details her struggle with her weight loss. The crazy part is when she explains that she blew up to 270 pounds as a teen thanks to a vicious beating from her uncle. "He came in yelling at me as if he were my father. 'Round one, let's see what you can do, kid. Round two, round three.' Every time I'd get up he'd beat me down again or hit me by my crotch. He pulled me up by my hair and the back of my shirt and dragged me toward the kitchen. He was going for a knife and said he was going to end it for me . . . I blacked out. When I came to, he was kicking me in the face." Her family broke it up, and Khaliah was treated for bruised kidneys. "I felt ashamed", she writes, "the way victims do, as if it's somehow their fault" After that, she drowned her sorrows in food, eventually reaching 325 pounds before deciding to have gastric surgery.(Page Six)
