Good Morning America weekly contributor Tory Johnson spent decades failing at every fad diet, convinced she would always be fat. She blamed her childhood...her genes...even junk food. She was resigned to being plus-sized even though she secretly longed for something different. A single conversation 18 months ago put an end to that. Tory was told by one of her bosses at ABC that her clothes didn't do her justice and she wanted to send Tory to a stylist.
Even though the words “fat” and “lose weight” were never used -- nor was she threatened in any way -- Tory took away: lose weight or lose your job. In a flash, she realized she had to change for good and she was ready to do it. In the course of one year, Tory lost more than 60 pounds and discovered that what she put in her head matters more than what she put in her mouth, and in the process, she became a happier, healthier person.
With her all-new book published by Hyperion on September 10, The Shift: How I Finally Lost Weight & Discovered a Happier Life, Tory is on a mission to help others change, too. The lessons she learned apply to anyone who feels stuck or stalled in tackling a big change in health, career or relationships. She's proof that the future can look a whole lot different—and brighter—than the past. Tory believes the time is now to make it happen.
The Shift Review: This book was very well written and was a nice, quick read. I have been trying to change my eating habits and live a healthier lifestyle (with weight loss as a side effect) for some time now. I found this book to be extremely motivating and there were times when I grabbed a highlighter to actually mark quotes that were reflection-worthy. For example, after Tory had a wake up call and realized that she needed to lose weight or risk her career she admitted to herself, "I'm not fat by chance. This is a choice. And it's a choice I no longer wish to make". I could really related to her and the book was very honest and I appreciated that it focused heavily on mindset. You can dedicate yourself to dieting over and over again but until you "shift" your mindset to wanting to make the change it just won't stick. This is probably a book that I will read more than once and I will review selections from it when I am struggling with keeping my healthier lifestyle commitment.
