Show 5 Page 16 Thursday, October 4, 1979 Ideas For Better Liiig By Dr. M.Ford Mcliride Timpanogas Community Mental Health Center In the last ten years Mary J. has been on dozens of diets and has lost a total of 500 pounds. She is still overweight. over-weight. Why are so many people unable to keep unwanted un-wanted weight off? Statistics show that only 10 percent of those who lose weight will keep it off permanently. Permanent weight loss is more than eating low calorie foods and exercising. It also involves attitude change about self and being overweight. over-weight. To help with attitude change, consider five important impor-tant ideas. 1. Identify and list thoughts, feelings and actions ac-tions that trigger overeating. Do you tend to overeat when you're depressed or upset? It may be that overeating is brought on by intense frustration. Understanding thoughts and feelings enhances enhan-ces control and objectivity. 2. List ways you disown the responsibility for being overweight. People that are overweight usually look outside out-side themselves to find excuses ex-cuses for overeating; often other people or surroundings are used. As long as excuses are held on to weight loss will not be maintained. 3. Look at what the behavior costs. This is an important step because understanding un-derstanding the costs of being overweight can be an important deterrent. Costs may include such things as poor self-image, lack of confidence con-fidence in interpersonal relationships and having no interest in self-improvement. self-improvement. 4. Identify what you do to keep the behavior going. Is it inadequate control, poor eating habits, or lack of exercise? Also, look at hidden hid-den meanings. For example, do you overeat because you don't like yourself? You may have no interest in im proving your appearance. 5. On a deep level face the fears you might feel without this behavior. This step takes a lot of honest thought and reflection. Perhaps you're afraid that if you lose weight you would not be able to keep it off. You may be afraid that you will not be able to handle increased attention at-tention by members of the opposite sex. Whatever methods an overweight person might choose to get rid of excess weight, just as with an alcoholic, he will never be cured. Fad diets, shots and pills can't be continued on a lifetime bases. The only methods that can possibly work are sensible eating and exercise patterns and attitude at-titude change.

My background in construction, land planning, and ability to run a large business in the past gives me that confidence. In regard to, some issues most prevalent, I have a strong feeling for cluster zoning on hillsides so as to leave more open space. There is a need to encourage low income housing for employees and older citizens living on fixed income. Our city budget should be increased to deal with maintenance, main-tenance, police, and fire departments. We are a growing town and these departments need financial help to better serve us. The parks in town are neglected because of priorities priori-ties of the maintenance department, they need more people and equipment.
