Organizations offer aid to the overweight
By DEB MILLER
Staff Writer
For those who are tired of dieting alone and running to the refrigerator when the pounds don't fall off automatically, Lawrence has two weight-watching programs: Weight Watchers International—that offer structured weight reducing programs.
Weight Watchers International, a group based in New York, meets at 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. each Thursday at the First United Methodist Church. 946 Vermont St.
About 30 people attend the morning session and about 70 attend in the evening,
"We have all kinds of people of all ages, from 10 to 70-year-olds." Kever said.
SHE ADDED that Weight Watchers would also members under 10 years of age.
The dues are $ at each meeting, and a $3.50 registration fee is collected at the first meeting. For the elderly and students, the dues are $2.50 and the registration fee is also $2.50.
To lose weight, members follow a food program, consisting of a balanced diet, developed by a Weight Watchers' staff doctor.
At the beginning of each meeting, members are weighed. However, it isn't necessary to lose a certain amount of weight to stay in the club. Kever said.
EVERY WEIGHT Watchers group has a lecturer who gives a one-hour talk at each meeting. The lectures are based on 18 model lectures developed by staff psychologists.
"The modules cover subjects such as
5 resolutions go to Senate
Five pieces of legislation will be presented to the Student Senate at its meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas University.
A petition to amend the Senate Code proposes to eliminate the Senate seats for the presidents of the Association of University Residence Halls, the Pannhellenc Association, the Interfraternity Council and the All Scholarship Hall.
A resolution submitted by eight senators prohibit smoking during Senate meeting.
Another resolution expresses Senate opposition to a possibility that the Kansas University Athletic Corporation would move the annual football game between KU and the University of Missouri to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
This Senate also will act on two bills that would clarify procedures for the fall elec-
tion. Nunauer College senators and the appointment of replacements for vacated seats.
eating at home, special dieting challenges and how to handle eating urges. Keyers
Determining Weight Watchers' success is difficult. Kepper, said.
"For the most part, the people with the greatest amount of determination will be successful."
While Weight Watchers International takes a scientific point of view, Overeaters Anonymous takes a more spiritual attitude toward losing weight.
The format used is similar to that used in
users' own programs. The members use
okk, each other, first name.
Membership at meetings varies from two to 25 people. Virginia said.
OVEREATERS MEETS at 7 p.m. each Tuesday at the Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St. Members are hoping to start a morning session that was discontinued, Virginia, a member, said Monday.
"We find all different kinds of people at our meetings," she said. "Usually, though, there are more women than men. We know their willing to admit they have a problem."
Overeaters has no president. Every member takes turns acting as group leader,
DURING THE meetings, which are free, the members go over the same 12 steps used in Alcoholics Anonymous. The first step is admitting that a problem exists, Virginia
"We try to find out the causes of our problems, many of which are emotional," she said. "We try to be honest with ourselves."
Virginia said a big part of the program was turning the problem over to a higher being, as Alcoholics Anonymous does. However, she added, the meetings are designed to make anyone, including albedoes, feel comfortable.
Members follow eating plans, not diets,
Virginia said, because they've usually
already tried every diet there is, without
success.
THE PLANS ARE developed by each person individually, and Overers hurts urge members to learn as much as possible about nutrition.
Then members call each other to discuss their menu and to decide whether it is faltering.
Virginia said that people sometimes struggled when they stood up in front of a group for the first time to admit they had a weight problem.
"But by the time they get to Overaterns, they're usually tried everything else, and they've realized that they do have a problem," she said.
Often, as soon as people leave other structured weight watching programs, Virginia said, they go directly back to their old eating habits. They find they need more. And the physical appearance, the mental spiritual and physical aspects of living weight, she said.
