Green Mountain at Fox Run Introduces
First-of-Its Kind Body Image - Body Acceptance Programs
Improving how you see yourself may help you be more
successful at weight management.
Being somewhat dissatisfied with your body is normal. But
millions of
women today take body dissatisfaction to extremes. They dislike
their bodies so
much, it gets in the way of leading happy, productive lives.
It may also get in the way of successful weight management.
To help women begin to change the way they feel about themselves
and improve their success at weight management, Green Mountain
At Fox Run introduces the "Body Image - Body Acceptance
Program" as part of its healthy
weight loss program and health management program beginning
February 1, 1998.
"Body Image- Body Acceptance Program" consists
of a series of workshops, given over a period of two weeks.
Based on research conducted by Thomas Cash, PhD and James
Rosen, PhD, the ground-breaking workshops present
a first-of-a-kind, step-by-step approach to decreasing
body dissatisfaction in relation to body weight. It is the
first time traditional body image therapy has been combined
with weight management to address issues unique to overweight
women who are concerned about weight.
"The Body Image - Body Acceptance
Program" can help women of all sizes and shapes decrease
dissatisfaction with their bodies:
- Women who are trying to lose weight.
- Women who have successfully maintained weight loss but
who continue to be unhappy with their physical appearance.
- Women who have successfully lost weight and want to lose
more, but can't seem to no matter how hard they try.
- Women who want to lose just "10" or 15 pounds."
- Women who want to lose 20, 50, 100 or more pounds.
- Women who aren't trying to reduce but don't like how
they look.
Green Mountain At Fox Run, is the country's only residential
healthy weight loss and health management program exclusively
for women. It was the first program to promote a "non-diet"
approach to long term weight management over 25 years ago.
Today, it is the only residential program that offers body
image treatment.
Green Mountain At Fox Run's all-women setting provides a
sense of comfort and safety for women who are addressing sensitive
and challenging issues of weight, self-esteem and body image.
