That makes some women Very happy, It makes others very frustrated. What could be more frustrating than seeing a dress being modelled that you know you are too fat to get into? That is the complaint of many women. But some are trying to do something about it. At a recent meeting of the Exeter TOPS club, the group, as a whole, was asked about weight reduction, They said they wanted to be able to buy or sew a dress without too much of a problem. That was one of their major reasons for wanting to lose weight. Health problems were also a big concern. They said being overweight can make one more susceptible to diseases, such as a heart condition or diabetes. Contrary to popular belief, the group is not putting an all out effort to lose weight. They seem to realize it is a real problem. But, according to club president Willie Yule, the group is holding its own. The group agreed that if they can't lose, holding your own is good enough. The rewards of losing weight are many. They all agreed that it was a pleasure to hear someone say they had lost weight. It was also stated by several that it was a reward just to be able to go in and buy a dress that didn't fit two weeks before, The major cause of being overweight is overeating. Some members of the group said when they find they have gained weight, they eat more to build up their injured ego. "You feel disgusted with yourself," said one member. Asked it they inflicted punish- ments on themselves when they did gain weight, one said, "gaining is the punishment," All agreed the results of weight reduction are worth special ef- forts, Some of the members were prodded on to lose weight by their children, Some indicated their children were embarrassed to have an overweight mother. Others found that things they would hear on the street from kids would make them want to lose weight. But they also said their children encourage them to lose. There is another problem of weight reduction, more of a personal nature. They said when the body loses weight, it will reach a plateau, and stay at that weight. The group said after they had been geared to lose so much weight per week, it was very discouraging when they could not lose any more. There is also a happy medium for a person's weight, they said. They claim some look sick when they are too thin. The key to weight control and reduction is moderation in all things. However, there was some information brought forward that could be discouraging for some, Ancestry plays an important part in what a person is. Most of the members, agreed that if their ancestors were overweight so would their children. They also said there is more leisure time now, so that gives more time to think about the problems of being overweight. They also noted several changes in varieties of foods then, compared to now. They said that people may have had more food then, but it may not have been as healthy for them. Unlike some of the other weight reduction clubs, TOPS is the only one that consults with doctors, said the group. They said in some other clubs, members lose so much weight they get sick and are forced to go to a doctor. The group sees they have a problem. They call themselves food-aholics. They said their club is much like Alcoholics Anonymous. They inspire each other to lose weight. They also have contests which they say are helpful. The Exeter TOPS Club has a membership of 17 and meet each Tuesday at 8:30 in the Auxiliary room at the Legion. • 0) • • • It's a big bit of a problem, ladies, when the nice fashions don't fit you
