The topics of weight and health mean many different things to different people. For some, it’s very confusing. Information you see presented in magazines, television and news articles can leave you feeling puzzled about the best way to optimize your health. For others, these topics bring feelings of frustration or discomfort because weight and health can be difficult to talk about.
With that said, you might be wondering if attending a convention dedicated to weight and health is something you’d want to be a part of.
