Non-Diet Approach to Permanent Weight Loss
Once retired, my weight and health had really gotten out of control. Never been a dieter in the past and weight worries, fortunately, were not a big issue when I was younger. While I decided to attend, with some skepticism, I was delighted to find a program focused on positive self-care and lifestyle strategies …not the same old same old dieting mantras about restriction and having to be good. What a breath of fresh air… a common sense approach that works. I’d be remiss not to thank the caring and dedicated staff. Being in the company of other women really made the experience that much more powerful, supportive and safe.

This program works! I’ve been through them all and Green Mountain is unique in their approach, their warmth and staff.

I came to GM for a quick fix to losing weight. What I learned was that there is no “quick fix.” Healthy living is a constant present factor that is part of everyday living. I have been dieting for 40 years. I have ignored that facts of actively participating in my health. Now I cannot ignore it any longer. GM made it perfectly clear that I am in charge. My new outlook puts my eating and exercise at the top of my priority list. Thanks Green Mountain!!

I love Green Mountain. It has really helped me fully understand the extent that emotional eating has had on my body. It is a great place for the healing to start.

Green Mountain solidified my belief in the non-diet lifestyle. I feel stronger physically, mentally and emotionally because of my time at GM. I always dreamed of a place where I could go and not be judged by others or myself.

The Green Mountain program & approach to healthy living changed my life. I am so glad that I do not have to worry about losing/gaining weight over again.

I found the Green Mountain approach to be liberating. The non-diet philosophy appeals to me and I will never consider myself to be on a diet again. I believe the moderate goals I have set will be very do-able.

Finally, after 20 years of diet programs, psychologists and other residential programs, Green Mountain has given me the understanding, the confidence and strategies to become the woman I've always wanted to be. Thank you, Green Mountain, for being there. There isn't a woman who wouldn't benefit from all you have to offer.

Only Green Mountain at Fox Run was brave enough to let me know that dieting is bad for the body. For the first time, I feel really good about ME - the guilt is gone. I will never go on another diet!

This year it was the ever popular liquid diet. I lost over 100 pounds and very quickly, but sadly regained it all and more. I felt betrayed, angry, depressed and lost. Why I ever decided to try again and come to Green Mountain, God only knows. I just want to tell you that you gave me the one ingredient and clue that no doctor or liquid diet could even understand: my self-respect and an honest answer to what it really takes. No gimmicks, no promises, no magic cure.

It's good to know that in a world with fad diets, diet doctors and the "diet programs" that are only thinking of how to get more clients, you've spent the last 26 years thinking about what will make women more successful at permanent weight loss and getting healthy. You're right, "you're going to like you."

My life has been so wrapped up with my constant dieting, deprivation and guilt. I never realized until I came here that I am a chronic dieter and that is what has hindered what I want the most - to lose weight. Here at Green Mountain, I learned a new way to reach my goals.

Green Mountain at Fox Run helped me put a whole new perspective on my issues with food. I realized that I can trust my hunger and not have to continually obsess on diet restrictions. It really is freeing not to feel under the control of a weight loss diet.

This is a long overdue note, but I hope you are well and that GM is filled to capacity with loads of eager women embarking on change from the inside out (vs. the world's message of change from the outside in).
GM was such a uniquely satisfying experience for me!
As soon as I returned to CA, I was off to another destination, so I haven't officially been "home" for awhile, but this time away was the first time that I have not felt scared to death and stressed to the MAX about being some place other than home, strictly b ecause of food issues and lack of environment control. I have been able to let my guard down b ecause of these newfound tools, and it has been A-MAZING!!

I want to publicly thank the staff at Green Mountain, for teaching me how I can take my power back. Before my stay with you I always heard from different people "should you really be eating that?" Whenever that happened I would feel guilty for eating it, even though it was not really bad for me. My list of off limits got bigger and bigger every day, and then of course I would feel like a failure when I would eat those off limits foods. Now when people say that, I look at them and say, "Actually, yes, I should be eating that!" Thank you, Green Mountain, for teaching me to eat like a normal person.
