ating winter away

“Now is the winter of our
discontent,” begins one of
Shakespeare’s plays, using
an image that anyone who
has ever spent a snowbound
winter in northern climes
can readily relate to.

Even in less rigorous parts
of the country, the winter
months are likely to seem
longer and drearier than the
rest of the year, without the
diversion of social outings
and pleasant weather to
while away the hours.

While none of us finds
ourselves pacing the stoney
corridors of drafty castles, as
in Shakespeare's time, we
may well experience some of
the same pefit up
frustrations, as we shut
ourselves indoors in front of
the television set, watching
the same reruns of grade “B”
movies and wishing we had
something interesting to do.

Yet, unfortunately, for
those of us with a weight
control problem, there is
always something ‘‘in-
teresting” to do such as whip

up a batch of fudge, create
the perfect Dagwood sand-
wich, invent a new kind of
chili sauce.

This kind of “creativity”,
while good for the soul, can
be disastrous for the
waistline! So what can we do
during this restless period to
keep our minds and hands
occupied while giving our
bodies a break?

Perhaps the best thing we
can do for our bodies this
time of year is to get in-
volved in some sort of reg-
ular exercise. It is a matter
of individual taste whether
we accomplish this by join-
ing a class or exercise centre
or getting together with
friends or setting up our own
programs. But whatever you
decide, find a program of
exercise you can live with
and stick with it.

Group exercise has the
added advantage of

providing social stimulation
and outdoor exercise, (cross
country skiing, ice skating,
or just
walking)

plain old brisk
also provides a

ment

needed change of scene. But
even if all your schedule
allows is a few stretches, sit-
ups, jumping jacks and toe
touches in front of the TV,
exercise can still provide a
much-needed physical and
psychological boost, if done
regularly. (Check with your
doctor, of course, before
embarking on any new
program of exercise.)

Getting together with
other people is especially
important this time of year,
if inclement weather keeps
you isolated.

Now is the time to join
that arts and crafts class or
church or social group
you've wanted to become
involved in.

If you have friends who
are also battling a weight
problem, why not arrange to
meet at a different person’s
house each week for a
“legal” dinner or luncheon?
And don't forget the benefits
of regular attendance at your
weight control class, espe-
cially now when motivation
is apt to slacken.
