THERE'S MANY a reader
Of this column who will say:
"I'd gladly swap troubles
with Mrs. D. I've been trying
to take OFF weight for years
and haven't lost an ounce"
Those who are overweight are
often surprised to hear that
there is such a problem as
mderweight. But, as Mrs. D.
knows, 1t can be q problem.
When there is no cause for
underweight, like hyper

disease, I can't remember
more than q few patients who
have failed to add poundage
when they really went to
work at it. But it's not easy.
The one with a shrunken
stomach, who has little ap-

to force food down; as does
the overweight person find
1t hard to say NO when the

key to the solution Of gain

what we ask obese people to
