TSFL Convention

I went to the national convention for Take Shape for Life.  SO much fun!  And, very inspiring.  An entire week of meeting people who have lost weight and who are healthy now thanks to Medifast.  The best speaker by far was Brian Biro (look him up) who I've heard before.  He does a whole seminar about breaking barriers in your life and at the end he has everyone karate chop boards in half to "break-through". I realize it sound a little corny, but it is very thought provoking.  It is way to easy to go through life with the wrong focus.  Two years ago I broke a board.  This year I held a board for someone else to break.  She did it the first time and I was so, so glad about that.  Eddie had quite a few people who had to try multiple times.  You will not break your board if you focus on it (same with life, you will not accomplish your goals while focusing on obstacles).  You must look past the board.

Eddie usually does some training or workshops at convention but this time he was asked to participate in a Dr's panel.  He is third from the left in this picture.  All of these doctors discussed how TSFL has improved the lives of their patients, and then how it had improved their own personal life.  He was the only chiropractor.  The rest are surgeons, a FNP, a gynecologist, and such.  This was also very inspiring and powerful.  To hear doctors discuss creating health instead of responding to disease is practically unheard of today.  One doctor admitted that his practice had more prescriptions stopped or reduced than started.

READ THAT SENTENCE AGAIN.

There were 2,500 health coaches listening to this panel.  Eddie usually isn't nervous to speak- but he said you looked into the crowd and it just kept going and going!!

And, my favorite part of the whole week was meeting Norma.  She is an 82 year old health coach who is in our Florida team.  She used to be a seamstress in New York City and altered wedding dresses and designed lingerie.  I told her that she is my hero.   She mailed me her 1976 reader's digest encyclopedia of sewing.  I've been reading it- I don't care how nerdy that makes me.  One day I'll be able to do a welted pocket.

sorry the pic is bad- we were at a dinner show.
