Page 8, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, April 2, 1986 Bon Appetit! More excerpts fom The Dieter's Diary by Mary Hubelit (Part Two) For two and a half days in the summer of 1975 our friend the dieter kept a calorie count -- why, I don't know. Certainly an average of 847 calories is not enough to sustain a busy homemaker and gardener in July. Neither is there much incentive to botch up our brief, lovely summer with the picayune problem of body weight. Undaunted, this woman rallied again in December, for eight and a half days. If anyone wants a quick summary of foods good for dieting, consider: half grapefruit, skimmed milk, Waldorf salad, lots of jello, green beans, black coffee, baked haddock, the occa- sional boiled potato, etc. But apparently the above list is the cruelest form of SPADONI BROS.

(Some peo- ple never learn, do they?) Now in '76 and '77 the joys of living obviously won out: an operation, hunting trips to Barbara Lake, Fort. Frances and elsewhere, plus a camping expedition to Canada's west coast; were much more important items for the diary of a red-blooded Canadian girl. It wasn't un- til April Fool's Day 1978 (great sense of timing, eh?) that she noticed the old bulge interfering with get- ting dressed in morning. So, for the next five days, caloric intake of food averaged 887 -- poor dear, if she had only left it at that! I blush for her -- she also tippled to the tune of 456 calories. What can I say? Well, if you're still with me and my friend, one more attack was launched, in March 1979. Most of the world's historic battles and wars record the triumphs of the victors. Little can be seen of the losers. So she set a precedent of sorts -- more and more of her can be seen as the seasons roll on. One senses from reading the diary that her resolve was faltering, the battle plan scrambled and incon- sistent: Lunch on the first of the last days was: one cracked-wheat bread, but- the ter, 90 calories; half a tomato, 18; three ounce steamed pike, 72; and a tablespoon of marmalade, 55. Marmalade? What in heaven's name has mar- malade to do with three ounces of steamed pike? The third day's total was 1,822 calories, of which only 375 represented the no-no juice -- her spirits were sagging. The page for the fourth shows the hand- writing on the wall, except that it's at the bottom of the page and reads: "DON't GIVE. UP!"' Gad! What spirit! On the fifth and final day, only breakfast and lunch were tabulated, after which, with a defiant toss of the head I'm sure, she demolished a Malted Milk bar in two bites. Bon appetit!
