THINKING SLIM

By JEAN NIDETCH

Ice cream, mounds and
mounds of soothing, velvety
stuff, ready to spoon in cold,
slithery mouthfuls down
your throat. .

Warm pudding or custard,
creamy and comforting,
wafting a familiar aroma
from steamy bowls.

A big pot of chowder or
cream of chicken soup
simmering gently on the old-
fashioned kitchen stove.

If these images speil c-o-
m-f-o-r-t to you, you're not
alone. Studies have found
that there is a characteristic
pattern to the foods we
select when we are in need
of comfort.

Add to the list,
milkshakes, whipped cream
and cream pies, rice pudding
and milk chocolate, and
perhaps you see the pattern
emerge.

For it’s no coincidence
that the foods we are drawn
to most often when in need
of “mothering” are smooth,
bland, creamy, easy to
swallow, and have a milk
base.

Like a child seeking solace
at its mother’s breast, we,
even as adults, still turn in
times of need to the security
and warmth of foods
associated with that time in
our lives when mother was
able to soothe us with a
feeding and a caress.

The trouble is, though we
may feel the need to be
“babied” from time to time,
our nutritional needs have-
changed since way back

is, we may feel the need for
consolation a bit more often
than our waistlines§ can
afford, if we rely on food for
this purpose. Clearly, this is

a pattern that must be
changed.

One way to do so is to
develop a_ repertoire of

comfort foods, that won't
break our diets, and which
can take the place of the old
standbys when the need for
consolation hits.

Plain, unflavored yogurt,
skim miik, buttermiik,
nonfat dry milk powder and
evaporated skimmed milk
can be used as a base for a
number of creamy, soothing
dishes mentioned above.

Another possibility is to
learn to derive comfort from
non-food sources. A warm,
muscle-relaxing bath at the
end of a hard day, a soft
couch and comfy afghan, a
visit to the beauty parlor, an
hour spent listening to soft
music by candlelight, ail

these can revive and refresh
the soul every bit as ef-
fectively as “comfort” food
— and with 100 per cent
fewer calories!

Learning to take care of
ourselves, emotionally and
physically, is an important
step toward achjeving
emotional independence.
Let's untie the dietary apron
strings and learn to make
new choices to better suit
our grownup needs.

Thanks to you, it works
for all of us
