Thisisthelastinaspe- cial series on the men- tal and emotional adjust- ments re- quired for long-term change. Anyone could tell she was an- noyed with the result. Although she lost weight from the previous week, her irrita- tion was palpable. "One quarter of a pound? Four lousy ounces." She continued to stare at the scale, her eyes like laser beams piercing the casing. "I exercised. I wrote everything down; I even stayed away from the hors d'oeuvres at the office party. This is too slow. I won't hit my right weight until I'm 60." Standing down from the platform, I heard her grumble as she snatched her purse, "Who needs this frustration?" With those final words, she stormed from the meet- ing. The next time she came to a meeting, she weighed 43 pounds more than when she had left — and was three years closer to the "dreaded" age of 60. At times it is indeed dif- ficult, seemingly impos- sible, to remember that "slower is faster than never." Few events are more exasperating than dili- gently following a plan, faithfully monitoring your efforts, expecting breathtaking rewards, and ending up feeling punished for the effort. Hope vanishes, motiva- tion evaporates, and the seductive siren song of harmful habits slyly lures us off track. We think, "Well, if it's not going to work in the end, why wait to be frustrated? I might as well just give up now." As the bumper sticker I saw in college proclaimed, "Flunk now, avoid the June rush." The truth is rarely does one give up when all is do- ing well. Success requires en- during many indigni- ties; it involves making a lifestyle — not tempo- rary — change. Logically, we know that "lifestyle change" must last… well, er, um … a lifetime (hence the term). Emotionally however, we want to ex- perience all the payback without making the re- quired investment. As a further analogy, we crave the benefits of wisdom without enduring the ex- posure to life. Sometimes, immediate gratification is still too slow. Change — on any level — just does not work at that pace. The process will not be rushed; it must be fully experienced. However, the good news is that success is more likely when we un- derstand the benefits be- gin immediately; we do not have to wait to enjoy them until we get "there." To the contrary, that mag- ical land where tempta- tion is non-existent and motivation is ever present is fantasy; there is no bet- ter prescription for fail- ure than betting the farm on such unrealistic expec- tations. Those who obtain their goals, whether they be to change how we eat, im- prove our relationships, or enhance our finances, are still periodically called back to the same tempta- tions and frustrations as those of us still striving for our objectives. What differs is those who would be deemed "successful" persevere through rough periods by changing fo- cus, not by ignoring the delay. Setbacks cannot be avoided; the piper will be paid. Although it might not feel so in the mo- ment, each detour pres- ents an opportunity to understand the process, ourselves, and make the adjustments necessary for long-term, sustained change. At those crossroads, look back, not ahead. The future is always unknown, yet the road already trav- eled — no matter how short the journey — is lined with accomplish- ments: some small, others more significant. Motivation returns when the focus changes. Scott"Q"Marcusis a nationally known weight loss expert for baby boomers and the CRP — Chief Recovering Perfectionist — of www. ThisTimeIMeanIt. com.

RED BLUFF ROTARY Club supports student literacy with dictionaries The happiest bunch of girls found in Red Bluff last night was at the Chocolate Shop. The occasion for their being there was to receive the little gold basketball souvenir which was given to them for winning the championship of the North- ern California high school league by admiring fans of this city. Jack Hendrix was the "big fan" who was responsible for the souvenir. He gathered the shekels from other ad- miring fans and secured the emblems through Wilkins jewelry store. It is a neat lit- tle gold basketball engraved with the initial of the player and the year 1917, with the word "championship." The girls of the success- ful team who were the re- cipients of them are Lucile Dodson, Neva Norris, Am- eta Kaer, Doris Dambacher, Hilda Manter, Georgia Tra- bue, Edna Sells and Irma Dobbyn. — Feb. 10, 1917 100 YEARS AGO...
