Quite evidently, she swallows

But it might do the boy great
deal of good to be witness tC
such flareups. For then it might
dawn on him that his father is
not down on him, but just a man
given to verbal explosions.
A growing boy can be subject
to very painful insecurities, and
a stern or harsh-spoken father
may create a terribly torturing
effect on him.
1t clearly does no good in this
case for the father and mother
to evade relatively harmless ver-
bal explosions while allowing OBJ

continue. The boy must be made

understand that his father also
explodes at other people and that
he can deeply love a person

False delicacy on the part of
both father and mother is hurt

into the open and clear them up.
1t would be better to punish the
boy for his tranSgressions and
let him start anew than to keep
him condemned to unceasing,

Il haven't lost weight" ~ had
to attend too many dinner par
ties last week. That's why
haven't done so well, Doctor"
Such are the excuses; and they
are given in good faith.
The answer is that you must
not lean too hard on a diet
sheet. 1t is not a very strong
crutch. 1t will buckle-and you
will slip right back into obesity
again. Besides, who wanst to go
through life with a diet sheet
stuck in front of his nose?
For the past few years I have
refused to give patients diet
sheets. Exceptions were those
who had diabetes, apprehension
or other conditions that were
best managed with specific diets.
Dieting No Mystery
tell patients they will lose
if they stop thinking that. diet
ing is a mystery. 1t isn't. All
you have to do is eat less of
fats, starches and sweets.
That's all there is to it.
One obese lady asked her doc
tor for a diet. He said: stop
eating breakfast. lunch and din
'ner." She answered: But I'll
Istarve, Doctor" He looked at
her meaningfully and said: mo
you won't. Your in-between-
meal SnackS will keep you alive. T"
She caught on. And lost weight.
The secret? There really isn't
any-but it works like a charm.
To diet successfully you must
have the will to lose weight.
Throw your diet sheets out
the window. but hold on to your
will to lose weight.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Here's Secret of Losinu Weiuht
By DR.. PETER }. sTEINcRoHN

Many of my friends and pa
tents are always asking: Come
now. How about giving me a
specialsdiet? Not just an ordi-
nary reducing diet. What I'd
like is a secret formula that
guarantees weight loss pain
lessly."
And at each request I look at
them closely-but they're not
fooling. They're serious. They
really think we doctors have q
mysterious and unique formula
that we save for special occa-
Sions.
AS in the case of the box-office
man who tells you the show is
sold out, you have a suspicion
that he has a few tickets left for
some V. I. P. who may come along
later.
/ guess I'll have to repeat what
I have said before: most people
are too diet conscious. They will
make every conceivable attempt
to learn what they think is the
formula for losing weight. And
they really mesmerize themselves
into believing they are doing a
good job; but all the while they
are running away from the
actual dieting. They keep look
ing for excuses to make it easy.
For example. here is what
have heard hundreds of times
from typical patients: Doctor,
you know I want very much to
lose weight. l can't seem to
accomplish it. I wish you would
give me a good diet. If 1 knew
what not to eat I know I'd lose.
/ haven't had any luck so far"
Useless Procedure
used to give such patients
diets until l found it was a USE
less procedure. They would not
lose-and would even gain
while on such a plan.
I'm sorry, Doctor, but I've
lost my diet sheet. That's why
