What up!
Looks like I’ve gone away to go find myself and finally returned to comment on the progress.
So. Recap shall we.
I have polycystic ovaries.
After about 3-4 months of doing the Gabriel Method I realised a few things about why I wans’t loosing weight and why nothing was apparently happening.
1.) I hadn’t worked out all my ‘negative’ emotions that were holding me back. Apparently if you haven’t sorted that stuff out then you are (for want of a better word) a shite out of luck. I found that it was great that Jon Gabriel made the deduction that if you are holding onto some deep seeded past issue then yeah. it’ll make you fat but I found that I needed SOLUTIONS.
2.) Having polycystic ovaries means that my body isn’t doing what a normal body should be doing. Amongst other things I get random bouts of depression, mood swings, massive weight gain, sugar cravings and I no longer have a normal menstrual cycle any more. Joy.
These being the reasons why I wasn’t loosing weight I felt the need to go off and… well find my own solutions to these issues.
Took me awhile to get my head around all of it but eventually it all came to a head and I had some exceptional advice from a friend and instead of changing from the ‘outside-in’ I started changing from the ‘inside-out’. Found this was primary if I was ever going to change ANYTHING.
The piece of advice shared with me was that even if I couldn’t change what happens or happened or even what people say I could change how I felt and reacted to them. Essentially changing the way I thought about things. Such a small bit of advice can make such a large difference….
So I started going to the gym, every day for 6 days out of a week for every week for the last 8 weeks. No thoughts about giving up or not wanting to go. No self pity thoughts when something comes up and I can’t go. I just…. go?
And I developed this new sense of calm. Its like the patience fairy whacked me with her stick and now all of a sudden I have been imbibed with unfaltering patience and a REAL good attitude to loosing weight.
Funny that huh?
So thats where I’m at right now. Haven’t ventured back down the path of the Gabriel Method again – YET as I am looking at a couple of options to heal myself first.
Ciao for now.

Welcome back! It’s nice to hear from you again. I’m sorry about your challenges, but I’m sure there is something greater on the other side of all this! Can I just gently say, I think you have come back to the Gabriel Method. It seems to me that you are applying one of his main principles, change from the inside, releasing what doesn’t serve you and might be wanting you to hold on to extra weight. I can’t wait to hear more about your progress!
Hey there Aimee! Yes I think I have definately come full circle on this one lol. Fantastic to hear from you again, how has your journey been going? I am looking at applying some of Jon Gabriels main principals soon if I can – just working it in with my eating atm. Interesting that after going away and coming back that I found many of his core principals are vital to alot of self-healing/bio healing methods. He just seems to be one of the few that actually puts it all together. Funny that huh? Hope your well and keep posted
