Non-Diet Approach to Permanent
Weight Loss
I came to GM for a quick fix to loosing 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!!
Peg Kramer
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. Carine Khawam
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. Jane Porter
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.
Beth Hatley
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.
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.
