< * ‘Page8 â€" THE WESTON TIMES â€" Thursday, July 15, 1965 But suppose you go on a diet, what happens? After two days ; of blanched grapefruit and raw fish, you get so hungry you go | about furtively nibbling the curtains; after three days, you start | sharpening your axe and following the children‘s pet hamster around and after that, you are ready to start divorce proceedings | if your husband is cruel enough to ask for sugar in his coffee. You | see, dieting not only shrinks your stomach and tightens your | temper, it also ruins your sexâ€"life. Of course, nobody likes to talk about this, but it‘s a fact â€" the woman who‘s lived on black coffee | and three hardâ€"boiled eggs all day is in no mood for a bit of | slap and tickle in the kitchen after supper. As far as she‘s conâ€" cerned, all men are beasts and she just wants to go to bed and | read her new library book about cannibalism. But apart from the devastating effect these diets have, what is it all for? What glorious fate awaits us when we get to look as skinny as Audrey Hepburn? Well, first of all, they suggest that you only have to lose 10 or 20 lbs and strange men will follow | you around the supermarket, breathing heavily and begging you to go to Acapulco with them. This sounds okay, but with your luck, | it would probably happen on the day when you‘ve dashed out and left the potatoes on to boil and the baby in his playâ€"pen. There is a time and a place for being propositioned and it isn‘t at Lou‘s Groceteria at 4:55 p.m. trapped between the pizzas and the peaâ€" nuts and with Junior clutching his fly and howling for the bathâ€" | room. Another advantage of being slim, so they say, is that you | live longer â€" though I think what they mean is that it seems longer | when all you can eat is cottage cheese and carroway seeds. Beâ€" | sides, what you‘ve got to decide is whether it‘s worth living anâ€" I other 3.5 years if you can‘t ever eat anything you enjoy again. No, it‘s time for a return to common sense and three good meals a day and never mind the women‘s magazines and the diet experts. Besides, dieting doesn‘t ncessarily get rid of surplus flesh â€" my experience proves that it merely moves it around to a new position, which is sometimes worse than the old one. Anyway, everyone has a problem of some sort and if it isn‘t being overâ€" weight, it might be slipping false teeth or a noisy stomach. From now on I‘m going to eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow the scientists may doublecross me and invent an instant slimming pill and then I‘ll be stuck with all that Noâ€"Cal. This is usually your reason or your muscles, whichever is the weakest, or in some sad cases, both. But the way the experts in the magazines carry on, you‘d think that going on a diet will solve all your problems, including the car payments and your husband‘s habit of grinding his teeth while he sleeps. Of course, there are diets and diets, some more nauseating than others, but they‘re all designed to be revolting. In fact, it doesn‘t matter if your diet is inedible as long as you can talk about it. Diets give you food for conversation but nothing else and what it all boils down to is that anything you enjoy is fattening. There are highâ€"protein diets and lowâ€"protein diets, grass diets and egg diets, crash diets and blitz diets, tenâ€"day diets and ten year diets. There are liquid diets too but it‘s hard to see how these work. I mean, at one time we were all on a liquid diet â€" mother‘s milk â€" and look how much weight we gained. Of course, the liquid diets recommended by the magazines aren‘t the same â€" they all taste as if they‘re made from boiled cardboard flavoured with vanilla sandpaper. What makes me so mad is that when we‘re teenagers, the women‘s magazines keep egging us on to get married. They write pink palpitating prose about the paiter of little feet and hint at the unprintable joys of married life, but then as soon as they‘ve talked us into it and we‘re hockâ€"deep in toys and diapers, they beâ€" gin worrying about our figures. 1 wish they‘d make up their minds â€" either they want us to look like Boy Scouts or they want us to look like Mums, and if it‘s Mums they‘re after, they must accept the fact that you can‘t bear and bring up four children without something snapping. Anyway, what about all those pearâ€"shaped husbands whom you see walking around, convinced that they‘re madly irresistible and highlyâ€"sexed; why don‘t the women‘s magazines nag them and suggest that they live for three weeks on stewed celery tops and prune juice? No, it‘s the middleaged mum who is the target of every women‘s magazine and their aim is to make us all look like fashion models, which means that we‘ll have to wear padding even to look flatâ€"chested. They keep telling us it‘s our sacred duty to get back our teenage figures and no wonder our husbands drool so much every time they read "Playboy" that the pages get gumâ€" med together. It also stands for to hell with exercises which leave you feelâ€" ing disjointed even in your ears and so pooped that you have to go to bed for the rest of the day. For one thing, it‘s beastly unfair that they should pick on us middleaged mums all the time like this; after all, if you‘ve got several children, one of whom reguâ€" lu? loses his snake down the heating vent and a husband who can‘t remember where you keep the glasses, even after living in the same house for ten years, I think you‘re entitled to look a bit lumpy, if you want to. _ This is the time of year when all the women‘s magazines are in full nag about our figures; they print pages and pages of diets and exercises and "before" and "after" photos which they think will shame us into doing something about our shapes. But not me; I‘m not worrying about it any more. I‘ve come to the concluâ€" sion that we have all been brainwashed long enough about the female form divine and I‘m starting a new movement called THWD (pronounced Thwud) which stands for To Hell with Dieting.
