Red Bluff graduate promoted to Master Sergeant US ARMY Each dieter does it differently. Some eat a lot but look forward to exer- cise to burn it off. To me, looking for- ward to exercise is akin to eager antic- ipation of a root ca- nal. Ain't gonna happen. My method of staying on track is by removing temp- tation; i.e., if it's not here, I won't eat it. Should you in- spect my refrigerator, you would lay view to a vast amount of empty space. It's a Spartan existence, but — for the most part — it works. My mother used neither exercise nor my "minimal- ist" approach. Rather, she simply controlled her por- tions. Wow! What a novel concept: Eat well and eat the correct amount. Who would have thought? Yet, therein lies a rub. Whenever I visited, she would organize some form of get-together "in Scott's honor." Aunts and cous- ins would converge on Sat- urday afternoon to see how the Northern Califor- nia component of the clan was surviving. Hugs. Conversation. Photographs. And of course, food. Lots and lots of food. Across numerous tables would span a landscape of des- serts, rolls, cheese, des- serts, cold cuts, desserts, drinks, and — did I say — desserts. If ten people were expected, we had foodstuff for 50. "Food shortage" was not in her vocabulary. For Mom, being encir- cled by so much food worked fine; she refused to give in to it. For me, it was difficult; I tried to elicit her support. "Mom, can we not have so much to eat?" "No, honey. People expect food at parties." "I know; but we have enough for a small nation. It's too tempting." "Don't worry sweetie, it'll get eaten." "What concerns me is by whom." Inevitably, there would be "one last thing" that we for- got to put on the table. Sur- veying the scenery of soups, slaws, and salads, she would exclaim, "We don't have po- tato salad!" "Mom, there's plenty. No more, please!" "Nonsense. Everyone loves potato salad." "This is a party in my honor, can't we please do it my way?" "It is for you — but I'm the hostess. We'll do it right." (The irony is the potato salad was always thrown out later, untouched; a les- son that remained un- learned.) It annoyed me that she ig- nored my requests, making it more demanding for me to watch my weight at what was MY party. I know, on the grand scale of things, it's no big deal. But sometimes "little things" get under your skin. It seemed inconsider- ate. I resented it. If she were still alive, I would have ecstatically de- livered truckloads of potato salad anywhere she wanted me to. Some things are simply more significant than a per- fect diet. Happy Mother's Day.
