The Shift

How I Finally Lost Weight and Discovered a Happier Life
THE SHIFT is a book of inspirational self-help by Good Morning America contributor and small-business expert Tory Johnson, detailing Johnson's decision to lose weight and the positive effects it had on many aspects of her life.
For Tory Johnson, weight was always an issue; although she felt ashamed of how she looked, Tory could never find the will to change. When a network executive warned that if she didn't lose weight her television career could be in jeopardy Tory 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 Tory on her weight-loss journey. Tory 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 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 to take charge once and for all.
