mxm wednesday november 9 1983 wtbl ion fw cusan jjujck kz take control of situation remember those days that you felt on top of the world or at least on top of your diet and then all it took was one comment from someone to discourage you enough to send you on an eating binge well youre not alone it happens to most dieters and it hap pens often are dieters a breed apart are they weak in character absolutely not eating is a substitute fulfillment when you dont get what you want or if you dont work steadily toward what you want then it becomes overimportant for you to eat more than you want or need at times overeating seems akin to addiction even though the body is not phy sically dependent on overeating you dont want the excess fat you dont want the psychological trauma of feeling self- conscious because of your overweight appearance and you dont like the unheal thy aspects of eating too much of the wrong foods on top of all of that the food is not always a taste treat yet you persist in overeating often you feel out of control when the psychological need to overeat is present it takes a giant realization to get you to accept that you need help for this addic tion a weight loss group or other outside help sometimes a hearttoheart talk with- someone who really cares about your well- being can start you toward your goal of weight loss so finally you begin a diet and actually stick to it until one fine day your spouse or mother or friend belittles your efforts or tells you the right way to diet or criti cizes your lack of willpower or simply nags you about staying on your diet 100 per cent of the time suddenly you have a strong desire to eat the wrong foods stop do you feel anger at their outbursts do you feel frustrated and tight inside over their lack of understand ing use that anger this time and every time use it to strengthen your resolve to stay on your diet do not let them uninten tionally or otherwise push you right off your diet instead quickly do something for you go upstairs and run the hot water for a warm soothing bath if thats not your style change into a sweatsuit and jog until your anger subsides dosomething and do it quickly all that is necessary for a successful diet is controlling or channeling your actions this minute tomorrow takes care of itself because you will be in control then too- pumpkins get surgery at hospital by
