Weight Loss MethodsWeight Loss Methods are a bit like daisies in spring. They're forever popping up and many of them are seasonal. The weight loss industry is worth more than a couple billion dollars a year.
From self-help, to group help, to online help, to pre-packaged food help, the weight loss methods tried by millions upon millions, often more than once continue to grow and expand in their numbers and creativity. We're an ever trusting (actually to be truthful - I was just ever-gullible, but I prefer to think of myself as over-trusting), ever hopeful bunch. We cling to the belief that the next diet that pops up is going to be 'the one' that will forever end our body woes. There's an almost exhaustible list: The Warrior Diet, The Sacred Heart Diet, 1 Day Diet, 2 Day Slim Down, 5 Day Miracle Diet, 7 Step Diet, American Longevity, Anorex (hey - at least it sounds honest), Apple Cider Vinegar Diet, Body for Life, Blood Type Diets, Cabbage Soup Diet, Brown Rice Diet, Cookie Diet, Ice-cream diet (yum! yum!).... blah, blah... you get the picture! We tread the well worn Monday 'diet calendar' as this humerous 3 minute video shows: Well over time I'm going to be taking a more in depth look at some of these weight loss methods and sharing with you the psychological reasons behind why I don't think you get diets that work. As far as I'm concerned diets that 'work' need to free you permanently from: • calorie counting • being a slave to the scale • endlessly stressing about weight • thinking of exercise as a boring chore • ever dieting ever again - you have to be liberated from them. Feeling like a guilty failure is no way to get thin or healthy and most diets and diet programs are BIG on those. Forget searching for diets that work. I'm a great believer in the power of self-love, self-kindness and self-respect. Those are the principles around what I have to offer you is based. Those are healing and healthy. But before you go further, I really believe that most weight loss methods are fads because you can't live the way they propose permanently. Check out all the many ways that all those diets that 'work' don't really. In fact, read these stories about 'diet failures' and why I think these people found the secret to what 'worked.' But we're also interested in your experience on diets. What 'works' share your experiences, your story, your poems or weight loss tips.

I really love the idea of doing some 'head stuff' tweaking instead of dieting. This is a GREAT website, loaded with unusual information.

I LOVE this website. It's really thought-provoking, it's given me ideas about dieting and weight loss that I would never have contemplated. It makes such sense in a world where much about dieting doesn't. Bravo! I also loved your quizzes. I will be a repeat visitor. PS I have signed up for your free Joy-Filled Body Tips.

I am a university-bound teenager from the United States. Two years ago I was diagnosed with anorexia, a battle that eventually found me in the hospital.Dieting has robbed me of too much time. I found this website by chance. I've spent a lot of time browsing through articles and reading stories. It has changed my attitude and made me want to be MY ideal weight, not someone else's. Thank you to all the contributors and readers of Mind over Fatter. I deeply appreciate everything you do.(abridged by Cari)

It's easy in our society today to feel that our value is determined by the number on the scale. I am encouraged to change my mind so I can love myself for who I am not how much I weigh. Thank you so much for your website. It is such an inspiration to me!
Thank you! Rachel, USA
