Irrelevant Factoids:

• I’ve been to all the continents except Antarctica.
• I don’t like using 1/3 cup measuring cups
• I like British comedies on public TV
• In college, a “close friend?” got pregnant by my boyfriend WHILE he and I were going steady.
• I started to think about my saxophone and one thought let to another:
  • I chose to play the tenor saxophone in high school band because my hs boyfriend played the drums and the tenor sax players sat right in front of the drum players.
  • I hid the book Peyton Place in my saxophone case and carried it back and forth to school
  • If I didn’t want to practice my saxophone, I hid it in the apple tree at the end of our long lane as soon as I got off the school bus.
  • I sold my saxophone when I graduated from hs for $145 and immediately used the money for a Luther League trip to Miami, FL in 1961. In route, in Tuscaloosa Alabama, I got called names for talking to a black lady on the street by a bunch of white boys driving by in a Dukes-of-Hazard-like car

I have NEVER missed playing the saxophone, but I still remember the boyfriend, some shocking scenes in Peyton Place, and the ugly incident in Alabama.

I don’t care if women are fat or thin. The reason I wrote this book is because I care if a woman’s disorganized life management and/or weight management is making her miserable and unable to give her gifts to the world.

(Sound Bites Of Diet Wisdom For Sidebars Or Conversation Starters)

1. Contrary to popular belief, Enquirer magazine is not a medical journal.
2. Fat is painful.
3. If you have a problem with weight control, a diet is like using an aspirin for a brain tumor.
4. Perhaps food is partly your demon‑‑partly your demon chaser.
5. The actual act of eating can be a buffer zone between you and the pain of life.
6. I became my own shrink by letting the fun, childlike Judy within me and the boring, mature Judy within me get acquainted and become friends and co‑workers.
7. I am amazed when people are surprised when a chubby person regains. Eighty-to 95% of dieters WILL regain their loss.
8. Diets only get you to the starting line, not to the finish line.
9. I am a “during”‑‑not a” before” or “after”.
10. I am more concerned with feeling in control of my life than in being a certain weight.
11. If I control the problems within my power‑‑it gives me the strength and confidence to cope with the stresses and problems in my life I cannot control.
12. Restrictive diets are a stop gap effort until we deal with our problem of interacting wisely with everyday people food.
13. If we have a problem with food BEFORE a diet, we will have a problem with food AFTER the diet.
14. We don’t need to learn how NOT to eat, we need to learn how TO eat.
15. Restrictive diets are an abdication of our right to make choices. Restrictive diets are a vacation from making choices.
16. Sensible dieting which incorporates making decisions within a structure can be good basic training for long‑term weight maintenance.
17. We are not going to lapse into a coma if we miss lunch.
18. With one chocolate brownie, I can nurture and abuse myself all in the same bite.
19. When you feel a fat attack coming on, remember how awful it is to feel “stuffed.”
20. Dieting simply puts your symptom, fat, in remission not your problem.
21. We crave organization. When our organization falls apart so does our diet.
22. The size of a man’s income or the size of a woman’s rear end are both shallow, silly ways of judging a person’s value, but our society has this superficial system down to a science.
23. Round people should at least stop being prejudiced against themselves.
24. Diet programs and recipes are tiny ingredients in weight control.
25. If all the diet recipe cards on the planet were placed end to end they would circle the globe many times.
26. Every year we have more diet books, hints, tips, recipes, and diet products, but Americans are getting fatter every year.
27. When you feel a fat attack coming on, put on tight pants.
28. Stop ‑‑‑‑ swallowing foolish, easy answers. Look ‑‑‑‑ within. Listen‑‑to the good advice from experts.
29. Failing to commit yourself to some sort of structure AFTER a successful diet is like setting a new born baby (after 9 months in a very controlled environment) out into a snow bank and saying ‘”OK honey, you’re on your own.
30. The hideous thing about fat is what it does to human potential.”
