Hello,

I recently attended a course on Effective Management Skills.  Now you are probably thinking what does a course on management skills have to do with weight loss.  Just hear me out.

The instructor spoke in great detail about how to manage a team effectively — however as he spoke (those that understood it) you quickly realized that the skills he was talking about are skills that we can use each and every day!  We can use them in our work, and family.  These skills by and in large are not exclusive to be used managers — anyone with a desire to improve themselves can make use of these skills.

He mentioned one thing which has stuck with me, and it is this formula:

D x V x F = T > R

This is THE weight loss formula, in addition to the formula that is used for “change” in the workplace and as a manager.  Let me explain what each item means, then you will understand how this can really be the weight loss formula to help you lose weight AND keep it off.


D - dissatisfaction
V - vision
F - first steps
T - transformation
R - resistance

Think about this.  Until you are DISSATISFIED with the way you look, or DISSATISFIED with lugging around all that weight — the formula will yield no results because 0 x 1 x 1 = 0.

Next you need to have a VISION of what you want to become and what you want from your weight loss.  Vision extends to all aspects of your life — think about what a thinner you means.  Ability to get into nicer clothes that don’t cost as much (a pair of pants for a man, who wears a 52, 54 or 56 waist can run OVER $85.00) — suits for an overweight or BIG guy can run several hundred dollars more than an “average” mans…

Next you need to be willing to take the FIRST STEPS to make your VISION a reality.  If you have all three of these, then you end up going through a TRANSFORMATION. 

What will those first steps be?  Right now maybe you have a cup of coffee with cream and sugar — why not cut the cream and use regular milk and try either sugarless or sweetener.  For lunch maybe you’re having fa(s)t food — why not opt for a sub intead?  All it takes are small changes to take your first steps towards eating and living a more healthy lifestyle.

See — THAT really is the weight loss formula.

YOU need to want to change — if others around you want you to change, but you’re not willing to, then nothing happens. 

When you want to change, and you put this formula into practice that is when the change will take place.

Regards,

Mohammed
