This course is structured around two primary goals:

1. Students learn the psychological theories to master motivation and self-discipline in order to reach and maintain weight loss goals.

2. Students gain a firm understanding of the nutritional properties of food to ensure healthy and effective weight loss strategies.

 

80% of class time is focused on learning and relating to psychological and social theories (Psych). This includes lecture, class discussion, group and individual work.

 

                                                        20% of class time is spent                                                                   examining the science behind                                                            nutrition (fit). Students will                                                                   learn about the amazing                                                                      healing powers of many foods,                                                           the harmful effects of a few                                                                 and a very simple approach                                                                to weight loss.

 

There are eight classes in total. Classes are once a week in the evening; each class is two hours long.

 

 

About the Instructor.

 

                                       Hi, I’m Rosey Lockwood. I graduated with                                        my degree in Social Work from the                                                   University of the Fraser Valley in 2009.                                            That’s right, I’m not a psychologist, and I’m                                        certainly not going to pretend to act like                                           one! I am a social worker at heart - and to                                        be a social worker at heart - you have to                                        believe in peoples ability to change.

 

It was during my personal quest to make change in my own life that Psychfit developed. I began researching ways to maintain a healthy life style. I found there is a lot of advice on what a healthy life style should consist of, but the literature was scarce on how to implement it into your life with any form of consistency. Having been a recent graduate, I decided to dive into the academic literature. I started with the subject of will-power and making positive change. It was by accident that I realized learning about the different psychological and social theories, and my attempt to understand how they did or didn’t mesh with my psyche, started a chain reaction of total fitness success. 

 

What excites me the most about this approach to weight loss is that the knowledge you will gain can be used in any area of your life to achieve success! I’m absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to empower you with the tools to achieve mastery in weight loss and management.
