For anyone who has faced a goal to make healthy changes to their life, Good Morning America’s Tory Johnson can relate. She may be a well-known TV personality, but Johnson understands that a major struggle is the same giant hurdle to climb for one and all. Celebrity just means more people witness that success or failure. She describes her weight battle and how she faced the challenge in her new book, The Shift. Fans can hear her story, be inspired, and meet the author at a booksigning event on September 15 at Meiley-Swallow Hall, on the campus of North Central College, Naperville.
This Anderson’s Bookshop-sponsored event is set for 7PM Mon., Sept. 15, at Meiley-Swallow Hall, 31 S. Ellsworth, Naperville. Tickets are required, and are available at Anderson’s Bookshop, 123 W. Jefferson Ave. with the purchase of The Shift from Anderson’s Bookshop. Additionally, one $10 companion ticket is offered with the purchase of the first ticket.
About The Shift
For Tory Johnson, weight was always an issue; although she felt ashamed of how she looked, Johnson could never find the will to change. When a network executive warned her that if she didn’t lose weight her television career could be in jeopardy, she experienced something profound: a shift. She knew she didn’t just want to change, she needed to change.
The Shift begins with this eye-opening incident and follows Johnson on her weight-loss journey. Johnson creates a plan, makes a list of things she is willing to sacrifice, and teaches herself the realities of self-discipline. With disarming honesty, she shares her experience of overcoming the inevitable challenges along the way. In the process, she becomes not just healthier but happier–a shift that impacts every facet of her life.
For anyone who has struggled to make a big life change, The Shift offers valuable lessons and inspiration for taking charge once and for all.
Good Morning America contributor Tory Johnson is all about helping women make great things happen. Johnson made the shift from employee to entrepreneur and built two multi-million-dollar businesses after a painful firing. Now, after a second major shift–losing more than sixty pounds in a year–Johnson is on a mission to help others change their thinking and achieve a better life.
