In this motivational tape, Creative Weight Management, time management consultant, author, and sociologist Jan Yager discusses the innovative weight management program she developed based on an application of her time management principles to the weight management challenge.

By applying the principles espoused in this tape, as she followed a supervised diet program with weekly weigh-ins, and kept a diet journal, Dr. Yager was readily able to lose 77 pounds—from 213 to 136 — in 10 months (from a size 18 to a size 6).

Another unique aspect of this tape is that Dr. Yager also discusses blocks to successful weight loss, and maintenance, and how to overcome those blocks, such as fear of failure or success, poor planning, impatience and low frustration tolerance, and perfectionism, the same blocks to effective time management.

As Dr. Yager points out, this tape is not about a specific diet. The author clearly notes that she is not a nutritionist; she strongly recommends that listeners get a check up and also follow a supervised, medically sound weight reduction program. What listeners will hear are the 7 fundamental principles of creative weight management and how those principles can help you start, and stay on, a healthy, medically-sound, supervised weight management and exercise program, as well as why, this time, you will be more likely to keep off the weight you do lose as you learn positive weight management habits and attitudes.
