The Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) – Empowering YOU!

A major inhibiting factor when seeking help to fight obesity is a simple lack of resources. It can sometimes be difficult to know where to go to get the answers that you’re looking for, or sometimes to even know what the right questions are to ask. Things that are important to know are:

• What is my ideal weight?
• What are my weight-loss options?
• Is weight-loss surgery safe?
• Does weight-loss surgery work?
• After I lose weight, how will I keep it off?

These are legitimate questions, which if left unanswered can make it challenging for those who suffer from obesity to ever take the necessary steps toward healthy, long-term weight loss. Well, at whyweight.com we’re happy to announce The OAC’s Inaugural – Your Weight Matters – National Convention: an event that will empower you to explore and discover your weight-loss options.

Where: Hilton Anatole in Dallas Texas

When: October 25th – 28th, 2012

The Convention is all about helping you seek-out the information you need, finding the answers you have been looking for when it comes to weight-loss and management, defying the status quo by discovering your voice through advocacy, and surrounding yourself not only with like-minded individuals, but the leading experts on weight and health.

Three reasons why this is an event not to miss!

1. Explore & Discover: The overall message of this convention is to let you know that health and weight loss go hand-in-hand. Come prepared to seek-out the information you need and find the questions you’ve been looking for in weight-loss education, action and empowerment.
2. People & Professionals: Find the strength and support you need as you surround yourself with like-minded individuals and renowned health professionals. Be inspired by real success stories and get accurate information about your weight loss options.
3. Unique Learning: Sit down one-to-one with a weight-loss expert of your choice and get specific answers to your specific questions related to medications, nutrition, food addiction, post-surgery care, intimacy and much more. Also, participate in one of the two breakout sessions that focus on (1) in-depth health, wellness and weight management information and (2) topics relating specifically to bariatric surgery.
