A Fat Man WalkingSteve Vaught caught the attention of thousands of people in the United States in his attempt to dramatically change his life. Steve himself seemed surprised by all the attention he was getting. According to him, he was just an ordinary guy who was trying to take control of his life and figure out where it had gone wrong.

On 10th April 2005, Steve Vaught took the first step of a walk which would transform his life, and possibly those of many others. Steve began a walk across the whole of the USA, from his home in California on the west coast to New York in the east. At first, it began as a personal challenge, but gradually it turned Steve into a different person.

What made Steve start his amazing walk? Steve, who was once a marine in the US army, was involved in a car accident, which left him feeling very depressed. The only way he could find comfort was by eating. He eventually weighed 190 kg and reached the stage where he couldn’t even walk in the supermarket without losing his breath. Realising that he had to do something to improve his health, he decided to walk from coast to coast.

Initially, his aim was simply to lose weight and that could have been enough, but with time it became a journey of self-discovery. “The more I have gone on, the weight loss has become secondary, and the more I have seen the value in the journey,” said Steve after walking about 3,700 km. Some of the things he saw really shocked him. One thing he became aware of was the importance of fast food in the lives of ordinary people in the United States. In one place, on a 7-km stretch of road, he counted 21 fast-food restaurants.

When Steve finished his journey 13 months and 4,800 km later, he was a celebrity. He signed a book deal, was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey and received thousands of e-mails from people who had followed him online. Looking at his achievements and his present lifestyle, Steve says, “Most people see themselves in what I am doing”, adding that people hope to use his example to get over problems they face, “whether it is overeating, smoking or just finding a way to live a better life”.

A long and lonely walk.

A A way to a better life.

C

A shocking journey.

B A road with many fast-food restaurants.
