Page 10, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, March 19, 1986 'Battle of bulge' detailed day-to-day in woman's diary by Mary Hubelit '*Who, Me?" On January 30, 1974 a woman with a problem (more than one, in fact), started a diary. The diary records, intermittently un- til 1979, her struggle to overcome. I have permis- sion to publish it, hoping to forestall anguish and con- fusion in anyone threaten- ed by the same problem. Dear reader, it is not enough to say 'I come from a fat family", or "So they're still making clothes -- Ill just buy bigger ones", or "Chee! what else is there in life?" It is not enough to say "I might wanna be a bartender some day -- I hafta know what's good", or "I come from a long line of drinkers -- it didn't kill them", or "It's part of modern entertaining -- I want to be a good hostess." No, no, no, no! Scratch the creeds or goals of any of the ubiquitous health groups and you will find that fitness, not the joy of living, is the shining banner. So be gentle with our poor deluded woman as she discovered her joy in living doesn't conform to modern standards. On _ the aforementioned Jan. 30 she was a teeny six pounds overweight, at 136.

Feb. 10 was the 12th day of the experiment and what a day it was, statistically. I quote: "Av. cal for 12 days 1,300; wt. 130." But our aspiring hostess or bartender, slightly bewildered, is reduced to one Martini & Rossi or one Cinzano per day. and then, and then, on the 47th day, darned if it wasn't St. Patrick's Day. It started out bravely enough: one poached egg on dry toast 150, one white toaste, marg. 67, two coffee, sugar 36; then at noon, ree ounces pineapple juice 36. But in the after- noon she made the patriotic sacrifice jexpected on March 17th and downed five ounces of Irish whiskey and three of orange pop, lamb stew with dumplings, one fig newton and two Irish cof- fees to the tipperary tune of 1,234 calories. At bedtime she presumably chastened her entire being with half a cheese sandwich on white and one ounce sardines on another white. O, the luck of the Irish! From then until the 60th day the figures (including hers) are quite remarkable: daily caloric intake hovered between 945 and 734. The 60th day of this odyssey makes our heroine a card- carrying member of The Born Losers' Club.

It was held in conjunc- tion with Carnival Week in Schreiber. There was a delicious Smorgasbord meal provid- ed by the church ladies. Over 200 people attended, and everyone enjoyed the food and relaxed at- mosphere. The _ kids especially enjoyed the ice cream donated by Klomp Dairies.
