Frank Story, aged 67, a resident of this county for about 50 years, is in a very seroius condition at the County Hospital as a result of having both legs broken to pieces below the knees yesterday morning while operating a stump puller. Story and C. J. Brill had been pulling stumps for some time together and at the time of the acci- dent were at work clear- ing some land belonging to Mrs. George Lamb, a sister to Brill, who owns a small place on Reeds creek. Story also owns a small piece near there. Both are near the A. L. Blake ranch, about 7 miles west of Red Bluff. — Feb. 27, 1915 100YEARSAGO...

SONS IN RETIREMENT BENNETT, BAGWELL HONORED Last week in this space, I posited the theory that, with almost seven out of ten people overweight (including over 30 per- cent obese), the reason most peo- ple don't stick with their diets long enough to reach goal weight is because they give up when the pounds don't drop "fast enough." Logi- cally, that makes no sense. After all, a slow weight loss is still preferable to no weight loss, which is the in- evitable result when one throws in the towel alto- gether. Of course, the motive for quitting isn't rational; it's one of two emotional rea- sons. The first reason we are so desperate to speed diet is that we fear motiva- tion will vanish before we reach our goal, and we'll end up spent, frustrated, and still fat. That is born of the false belief that motiva- tion leads behaviors. Last week, I explained how mo- tivation follows behavior and therefore we can mo- tivate ourselves whenever we desire by engaging in behaviors. Due to limited space, I couldn't address the second reason we quit, which I'll do today. That second reason we are in such a hurry to lose weight — as opposed to in a thought-out, healthy, and sustainable manner — is complicated, but in part due to the fact that "fat shaming" is still accepted, even when so many other tactless slurs are now con- sidered loutish and vulgar. The humiliation and guilt of being overweight casts its sufferers as lesser and out of control. The over- weight are recipients of ig- norant, countless wagging fingers — in person and throughout the media — proclaiming boorishly that if they possessed better willpower and a stronger moral character, they'd be thin. Condescending, hurt- ful, and hateful messages are hurled without end. The unfairness of how society treats its citizens of size however is not the is- sue. What matters is how we, the punching bags of those cultural jabs, re- act to it; swallowing the false premises and believ- ing that until one can "get his or her act together," he or she is not allowed to be fully happy and accepted. So, once the decision to drop weight is made, we desperately want to do it hurriedly, allowing us to enjoy our lives upon com- pletion. Sadly, the unreal- istically fast expectations perpetrated by fad diets and snake oil charlatans enhances the feelings of disappointment, sadness, and incompetence, some of the more powerful triggers of the habit. This causes the journey to be even rockier and more difficult, becoming unnecessarily la- borious cause the resump- tion of "comfort behaviors." Progress stalls. Feelings of failure and ineptitude are further cemented in place and, alas, the cycle is re- born. Since we can't change how others think, the so- lution is to silence one's own inner jerk and appre- ciate that the number on the scale has no correlation to moral value. If one is a cretin at 250 pounds, he will remain a cretin at 150 pounds. If one is a lovable, caring soul at 175 pounds, she will sill be the same even 35 pounds heavier. We mistakenly be- lieve that upon conquer- ing our habit; it will al- ways be sunny, bills will never arrive unexpectedly; stress will vanish; and our friends, families, and co- workers will always treat us in the fashion we ex- pect. The Promised Land is advertised as the desti- nation to every phony diet claim. Guess what? Ain't gonna happen. One does not become "better" simply because the scale flashes an ap- propriate number. What does happen is he or she becomes healthier. Sure, people who have success- fully lost weight might ap- pear happier, but it's a re- sult of the sense of accom- plishment of beating back a monkey hoisted on our backs for too long, not be- cause we became "better." Most importantly, happi- ness and improved health do not commence at "goal weight." Rather, they begin the moment one sets foot on the path to change and they amplify with every ad- ditional footfall.
