HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1972-02-24, Page 8PSYCHE YOURSELF TO SLIMNESS
For many people, overweight is largely based on a psychological
problem.
If this is true in your case, you can turn the source of your over-
weight to advantage and psyche yourself to slimness.
First, of course, you must be convinced that the time has come for
you to lose weight.
Once you have decided this, a prime requisite to your success is to
think thin. It's of the utmost importance that you should build a
thin new self-image, and keep that goal in mind.
From that point on, do everything possible to live in a psychological
atmosphere that supports your intention to achieve an ideal weight.
Don't talk about dieting. Just follow your food plan unobtrusively,
and without interference. Unless they are also dieting, friends and
family can unintentionally hinder your programme. Once you have
your doctor's approval of your weight reducing plan, turn a deaf ear
to those who warn you that you're ruining your health, or who may
test you by urging the wrong foods oh you.
Keep busy. As you begin your weight reducing programme, start
a new project such as redecorating a room — or take up a hobby
such as bowling — or join an evening class on a subject that absorbs
you. You'll be surprised to find to what an extent keeping busy can
take your mind off food,
Forget yesterday. What you did yesterday cannot be helped, but
what you do tomorrow can. If your control slips one day, take a firm
grip on it the next. And don't be surprised if you don't lose all the
weight you want to in one week — after all, it took more than a week
to gain it,
Avoid self-pity. Don't fall into the "Poor me, Pm on a diet, I can't
go anywhere" attitude. Self-pity is one of the most dangerous
temptations to compensate by overeating,
When your willpower slips t be aware. Don't feel guilty, since a sense
of guilt can lead you to punish yourself unconsciously. Paradoxically,
this self punishment can take the form of going on a real eating binge.
Space out your meals so that the pleasure of eating extends over the
whole day. Spreading your approved meals throughout the day
keeps temptation away. It also prevents overeating at one big meal a
day. if you skip meals, you're so hungry when you do eat that you
almost invariably overdo it.
Think positively. If you believe that you can achieve an ideal weight,
you will. To a large extent, the shape you're in begins in your mind,
(AdelaideDanietrisFoundenk Director of Weight Watchers of Ontario Limited.)

Page 8 February 24, 'T-A editor and wife win top
award for super home addition
It was a natural for the Battens
to sharpen up their pencils and
get out their drawing board. They
submitted a floor plan, a 3-D type
drawing and a resume of how the
proposed addition would fill their
needs.
One year ago this week, they
received word they were among
the top contestants being con-
sidered and they were asked to
give their assurance they were
definitely going through with
their plans.
This they did promptly, Then
Came the excruciating three
weeks of waiting.
"It seemed like an eternity,"
Mr. ,S; Mrs, Bill Batten were
announced the big winners of
Renovation '72 in Chatelaine
magazine this week. They walked
off with the top prize of $1,000 in
the national contest sponsored by
the publication,
Already contemplating an
addition to their 60-year old brick
house on Sanders Street, they
were spurred on when Chatelaine
offered four prizes for the best
plans submitted in January, 1971.
The four categories listed
were: renovations to kitchen;
renovations to bathroom;
renovations to basement, arid an
addition to a house,

storage facilities and a lofty
livingroomhideaway.This was all
accomplished with a super-sized
addition, measuring 21x7x26 feet
with a ceiling height of 16 feet."
In the unfurnished, lower-level,
gym-like Play areethe four Batten
boys, Scott, 7; Steve, 5; Brett, 3
and Brad 1, can rough house to
their hearts content with no fear
of breakages. The room is large
enough to handle with ease such
games as basketball, touch
football, floor hockey, shuffle
board, tumbling and ping-pong.
This area has many other
purposes. Kaaren uses it to
conduct weekly macrame classes
for around 25 persons. And when
Bill and Kaaren hosted the T-A
Christmas party about 50 staffers
and mates sat uncrowded around
12 tables of euchre,
Storage bins, drawers, shelves
and a bench area are featured
along one side of this gym-area.
The upper loft is attractively
decorated with low hanging
beams, colonial furniture and
several hand-rubbed antique pine
pieces, A specially designed high
railing across the front of the loft

assuring myself we must be
winners because they'd never put
us through such torture for
nothing,"
At last, came the letter an-
nouncing that not only was their
plan a winner . . but the top
winner, with a prize of $1,000 pitts
all materials at cost from Beaver
Lumber and other Chatelaine
advertisers.
In announcing the Batten win
with a double page spread in the
March edition, Chatelaine says,

The program was chaired by
Mrs. Art Whilsmith and the hymn

Morley Hall read the scripture.
Mrs. George Anderson gave

Mrs. Eric Luther conducted a
Bible study at Christian Women's
Club in Trivitt Memorial Parish
Hall, Friday morning. The title of
her study was, 'The Holy
Spirit. . . Who is He? What Is His
Mission? and Can I know Him?'
Mrs, Luther said the Spirit

Himself with consecrated

about the fruits of the Spirit and
