Lose 40 Pounds in 80 Days
> I GUARD AGAINST "SUCCESS""Lying down after eating won't make your food turn to fat any faster than if you walked a mile - but it will aid your digestion."
"You burn up more calories scowling than you do when you smile - but don't let that stop you from smiling. After all, who wants a world of skinny sourpusses?"
"Standing at bars burns up more calories than if you do your respects to Bacchus slumped comfortably in a soft lounge seat - that is, if standing doesn't make you consume more in your 'hollow leg'!"
"Staying up late nights burns up calories, takes bulges off the waistline - and puts bags under the eyes. These don't weigh very much, hut they're not very pretty either."
"A soft-boiled egg and a soft drink have about 65 calories each."
"Tomato juice has more Vitamin A than other juices."
You can crack out such "brilliant" info on diet all you want to, but if you don't watch out it will boomerang. Too much "know-how" makes you a "know-it-all." But for awhile there anybody I met was likely to hear a couple of snappy quotes from Poor Elmer's Almanac such as:
Fat men better fast-
If they wanner last!
To lose weight quicker
Take it easy on liquor!
Take Elmer's advice:
Shake the salad twice!
If the food is fried-run and hide,
But cheer the host who serves a roast!
I TAKE THE WEIGHT EASY
I'm inclined now, after being a diet bore, to take my weight a little easy.
When somebody says, "Have you lost weight?" I reply, "Oh, do you think so?"
Then they start selling me on how much I've lost, rather than my having to sell them.
It's all in the point of view. That is, both your tummy and your mental attitude.
It's worth the battle, fatties.
Provided, that is, you don't become a calorie monologist.
Annoy people with, "Oh, I'm on a diet - I can't eat that!" or tell them, "No, no-don't touchy-filled with starchy!" and you will soon find them getting touchy about having you around.
Pull out the Fat Boy's Slide Rule at the wrong time at dinner and you'll spoil many an appetite - and many a friendship.
Actually, one of the safest things to talk about is the good effect successful dieting has on your love life.
"It's a physical improvement in all ways," you can tell 'em. "I can climb more stairs without huffing, run farther for a bus without puffing, shoot more holes of good golf without fluffing - why, even my love life is improved!"
This makes 'em sit up every time. They never get annoyed listening to this - they're too interested!
