I have a sister I am very concerned about. She has struggled with weightloss her entire life minus her highschool years. She was very proportionate height and weightwise. But as she moved out on her own now at age 50 she has struggled with many health conditions even developing terrible type II diabetes. Her weight is taking its toll on her joints but still she eats craves gorges and acts in an addictive manner towards food sweets smothered fatty dinners and such; its almost become a taunting act she performs against herself. I guess she figures it hopeless to try again and again only to be disappointed. At 5ft 8 and nearly 400lbs her weight will fluctuate seldomly now like it used to when she was younger; which gave her hope in enabling her obesity to remain at bay in regards to hope of weightloss. She has hit a wall now and it upsets the family myself included knowing she feels hopeless and in denial. Her personality is strong as ever and she has positive things in her life as usual but I fear the worst because my subtle doses of reality are surely going to cause problems in her mind. I have never made issue or even mentioned her weight to her before because the other family members have always had that tact and respect to admonish her eating habits. The Gabriel Method and links have been sent to her via my having done so and now resentment is building and she hasn’t taken time to even open my emails and refuses to allow me to make it my business to initiate care in a weightloss program for her. I’m lost and don’t know what else to do. I have researched all I can on this “Method” and absolutely KNOW from my own knowledge of the body and its survival instinct that this method will most certainly help her but in curious now believing that maybe her while life has been just a sad attentiin getting manipulative show of fat force and pity. It sickens me to think this way..can anyone share if they experience or have acted similar to how she owns her weight proudly?

I have read the book. I use the visualization download on a mp3 player. I started this in January 2009, was weighing in at 240 lbs at 5′2”, as of today I am 188 lbs. Total loss to date has been 52lbs. I’ve went from a size 22 jean down to a size 16. It is such a pleasure (and cheaper) to buy clothes from the so call “regular size” rack. My goal is 150lbs another 38 lbs to go. I don’t mind that it is taking a long time because it is allowing my skin to shrink so no floppy stuff left over.
I have experienced the same as others have stated, I crave fruits and veggies. I have never been a big veggie eater but they now taste deliciously sweet. I want to exercise because I have all this extra energy to burn. My loss started slow than excellerated, but I have also experienced 3-4 weeks of plateau times. Than all of a sudden your off again on the down swing of losing pounds.
My reccommendation is read the book it is worth it. You are all worth it.
NO MORE FAD DIETS EVER.

“You will never be asked to to control your eating forcibily, neither the amount of food you are eating nor the type of foods you are craving. You can eat whatever you want whenever you want. Rather than dieting, I’ll ask you to add certain foods and to adopt positive eating habbits.”- Gabriel Method pg 15 (in my edition at least) I glanced through it and off hand I didn’t see any specific mention of wine, The book suggests you drink more water, eat omega-3 rich food (ex, eggs, fish, flaxseed oil- can also get omega-3 pills), take probiotics, and try to add organic foods to your meals and snacks.

This sounds great- however as we so enjoy our glass of ‘red’- is this excluded in the eating plan?

I’ve just bought the book & I’ve nearly read it in a day! I do believe that losing weight is a mind thing. If you’re not in the right frame of mind it won’t happen. I did start off thinking that the whole FAT program thing was a bit weird, but with all the diets I’ve done over the years, its starting to make sense, because none of them worked. I have noticed in the last couple of days, my mind is changing & I’m wanting to eat better. I do have a ‘naughty’ food here and there, but don’t pig out like I used to, and I’m sure it will change with time and I don’t feel guilty either like I would if I was on a diet. The Gabriel Method makes sense. In the end I’m not focusing on losing weight (or being obsessed with it), I want to be fit and healthy and by doing that, I will lose weight. What is there to lose?
