We've been doing some really fun co-marketing with Green Mountain at Fox Run. This resort in Ludlow, Vermont is completely unique. It's not a posh spa. And it's not a sadistic, Biggest Loser kind of experience. It's simply a supportive place to step out of the environment that is likely not supporting your quest for health, and experience what healthful living is like…and feels like.
Marsha Hudnall of Green Mountain recently shared with me that a high percentage of women who find their website do so with the search terms"adult weight loss camp." That line of thinking is very telling. Weight loss camps and spas have effectively branded the mentality that a structured camp with attention to detail is the answer to weight and associated problems.
I've worked in structured environments before, and I can attest to the fact that any time a person moves into an environment where the majority of decisions are being made by other people with regard to food and activity, weight can change. So?!?!?! It's what happens AFTER that experience that truly matters. Did you gain insight into what caused the problem in the first place? Did you enjoy the experiences you had enough to want to recreate them at home? Are the recipes possible to simply recreate at home? Are the exercises you did something available to you at home?
Green Mountain at Fox Run is very good at helping you develop workable plans that are transportable out of Vermont. There are no extremes. Much of the focus is on developing a positive self-image, one that does not support the idea that if you are not punishing yourself in your quest for weight loss, you simply cannot be doing the right thing.
Perhaps one of the best things about the Internet is that people stumble on Green Mountain's website and realize there IS a different way to think. For those who aren't quite sure what they're looking for, but they have come to this blog, I wanted to describe what they offer so that it can generate some interest and consideration.
