Fat is a 2006 novel by Rob Grant. Unlike his previous solo novels, this one is set closer to the present day. The novel follows three main characters and focuses on the Well Farm Project, a dieting camp to help the population lose weight. | |

Fat Camp | |
| Fat / int_112c77b5 | comment |
Fat Camp: The Well Farms. The accommodation is designed to be as uncomfortable as physically possible to prevent people from becoming couch potatoes. People attending the camp are woken up ridiculously early in the morning to get a full day's exercise. Food is distributed only when credits are earned (through weight loss). The only films shown are ones that make jokes at the expense of fat people. Dorms are mixed sex to encourage sexual activity as a form of exercise, something which Grenville manages to prevent. Needless to say, a lot of people give up after a short time. The circumstances only succeed in aggravating Grenville further to the point of a not-a-rampage. | |

Fat Idiot | |
| Fat / int_14b85a5f | comment |
Fat Idiot: Averted. Much of the humour lies in Grenville's dry lamentation of the inhibitions of, and people's overreactions to, his weight. Rather than making fun of the overweight, the book satirises the media's misunderstanding and misrepresentation of obesity. | |

Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll: The party Jeremy attends after the Well Farm launch. Because he's falling for Jemma, he actually doesn't care much for it, despite being tongued by a member of Gurlz Banned. It's also noted that he'd tried cocaine once before and it had rendered him temporarily impotent. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| Fat / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Hayleigh is not actually fat, but is in fact dangerously underweight. The reader gets no clue as to this until Jeremy meets her in one of his chapters. However it is mentioned that her periods have stopped, which is our first clue that she isn't telling the truth. Upon seeing the CCTV footage of his not-a-rampage, Grenville realizes that he comes across as having been far more aggressive than he remembers. | |

Surprisingly Happy Ending | |
| Fat / int_25b4ad2f | comment |
Surprisingly Happy Ending: Nothing ever seems to go right for Grenville in the book, until the end, when he gets a new television show on the BBC and (sort of) public recognition, as well as no charges put against him for his final moments (and a good not-rampage too without repercussions). Hayleigh, suffering from anorexia and seemingly doomed to be 'a fierce girl trapped in the body of a weak one' gets cured of her eating disorder thanks to meeting her idol and realizing what a Jerkass he really is. | |

Divorce Assets Conflict | |
| Fat / int_309edee6 | comment |
Divorce Assets Conflict: Grenville notes that he got hit particularly hard financially by his divorce. His ex-wife got the house, the good car (The Alleged Car Gren is stuck with was actually hers originally), and half the restaurant, the other half of which Grenville was forced to sell so he could afford a place to live. He bitterly notes that it's hugely unfair since she was the one who was unfaithful in the first place. | |

Butt-Monkey: Grenville's story is one disaster after another. In the space of a single day, where he decides to join the gym and get his life in shape, he manages to get into an argument with a woman, crash his car into an SUV (belonging to the woman in question), knock down the car park's bollards, destroy a barrier, wreck his car, get arrested, destroy his court-appointed lawyer's phone, get physically humiliated by a cop, destroy some furniture, have his trousers pulled up by an inept security guard and get fined for the whole ordeal on top of which he loses his job. No wonder he goes on another not-a-rampage at the Well Farm. | |

The woman who blocks Grenville in, while technically correct in pointing out that Gren has taken up a parent-and-child parking space, is needlessly shrill and aggressive towards him, particularly when she unnecessarily calls him a Fat Bastard. This sets off Gren's Berserk Button, causing his infamous not-a-rampage. | |

Celeb Crush | |
| Fat / int_c0e5fc39 | comment |
Celeb Crush: Hayleigh is utterly obsessed with Jason Black of Big Boys Cry. Throughout her eating disorder, she sees a possible romance with him as being her only hope, however unlikely that may seem. When she's in the hospital, Jeremy arranges for them to meet and Jason turns out to be a total dick. Rather than crushing her further, this actually snaps Hayleigh out of her depression and starts her on the road to recovery. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Fat / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Jeremy's state on waking up inspires him to a brief Dalek impression. Unexpectedly caught in her own reflection, Hayleigh miserably compares herself to Animal Farm's Napoleon. In police custody, Grenville forlornly hopes his lawyer will turn out to be a latter-day Atticus Finch. He later inwardly bemoans being handled like "Hannibal fucking Lecter", and drily wonders if the police expect him of a T-800-style assault. Waking up in hospital with an attached tube, Hayleigh wonders if she's being turned into some sort of Borg. At the Well Farm launch, on sight of the overweight celebrity guests, the unnamed Prime Minister spitefully hums "Pink Elephants on Parade". | |

Weight Woe | |
| Fat / int_e7ecdeb0 | comment |
Weight Woe: Both Grenville and Hayleigh have worries about their weight. Grenville is well aware that he's morbidly obese and decides to do something about it, but events conspire against him when he joins a gym. Hayleigh, on the other hand, is actually dangerously underweight and refuses to eat. She's even faking her meals by disposing of them in a manner which makes it look like she's eaten. She's referred to as fat in her own narration, but when we meet her from Jeremy's perspective, she's finally revealed to be anorexic. | |

| Fat / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: When firing him, the producers of Cook It, Change It, Dig It tell Grenville that his guide to boiling eggs is too long (ten pages) amongst the many other pathetic excuses they give him. Later on, when Jeremy briefly meets Grenville, he notes that he'd have been lost without Gren's guide. The requirement for hard hats in situations where they'd be of no use first comes up during Jeremy's visit to the Well Farm and is later brought up during Grenville's attending the official opening. The Group 4 security guard pulls Grenville's trousers up for him, which Gren finds humiliating. Later, the Prime Minister compares Jeremy stepping in at the last minute for the Well Farm's PR campaign to the Government being caught with their pants down and Jeremy pulling them up, metaphorically speaking. Jeremy finds the analogy disturbing. Hayleigh and her dad watch an unnamed Jack Black film together early on in the story. Later at the fat camp, Grenville comments that one of the films on show for the "guests" is Shallow Hal, which stars Jack Black. | |
