Parsons had just come fromavisittotheExposition and has been investigating Sacramento Valley lands on his return trip home. He expressed himself as well pleased with the ap- pearance of Tehama county compared with the other sections of the valley and declared that the outlook for stockmen in this sec- tion was very bright. Parsons is expecting to locate on a California ranch this fall and intimated that Tehama county would be his first choice when he re- turned to purchase a ranch. — May 1, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...

DISCOVERY CENTER BIRD WALK SET FOR SATURDAY Recently, I was inter- viewed on a radio program dedicated to the topic of living life re- gret free. I was disap- pointed I didn't know about that program ear- lier. (Get it? See what I did there?) Anyway, who would think that when someone is in- terviewing me, the subject might shift to the topic of weight loss? What a sur- prise! The host asked a se- ries of questions on all the psychological, physical, and even spiritual aspects of dropping weight and fi- nally landed on the big Ka- huna for anyone who has ever faced the battle of the bulge, "So, you've worked with literally tens of thou- sands of people in this area. What's your guess as to why so many people re- gain their weight?" It's a sad truth. According to an arti- cle earlier this year, nearly 65 percent of people who lost weight return to their starting point (or higher) within three years. That's per the clinical director of the Weight and Eating Dis- orders Program at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania so one can take that stat to the bank. As for folks who try crash diets, defined as any unhealthy diet, from severe calorie-restriction diets to diets that consist of only a few kinds of foods; the outlook is even bleaker. Wellsphere, a website spon- sored by Stanford Univer- sity, reports that only five percent enjoy long-term success. That measure- ment also includes diet- ers who lose weight rap- idly. For clarification, a sus- tainable (e.g. "non rapid") weight loss is considered to be a long term average of .5 to two pounds a week. So, back to the ques- tion; why do up to 95 per- cent of people regain their weight within a few years? I don't have to guess to an- swer it. Pure and simple, their goal was misplaced. They mistakenly opted to lose weight rather than re- create their lifestyles. Said elsewise, they focused on how fast they could get the number on the scale to drop instead of developing habits to see how long they could a sustainable and reasonable lifestyle to sup- port a healthy weight once they achieved it. You see, the vast major- ity of people who decide to drop those extra pounds get trapped in the "how fast can I lose it/how long will it take" treadmill. Vir- tually every decision is aimed at speeding up the process, mistakenly believ- ing that if they can get the weight off, everything will work its way out. They're so stuck in the "now" that they don't take time to re- alize there will be a "then." It is similar to spending every single penny made during your career on what you want immedi- ately without any regard for what you're going to do upon retirement. Those of us successful at long-term weight mainte- nance are neither smarter nor better nor luckier. Rather, after banging our heads against the wall sev- eral times, usually after several failed attempts sim- ilar to what was already described, it dawned upon us: What we weigh is a one reflection of the manner in how we lead it our lives. It is not only about what we eat nor is it random hap- penstance. We did this to ourselves, most likely un- wittingly, but done never- theless. Logically then, we have to rebuild our lives and the scale will automat- ically reflect those changes. The definition of what that looks like varies but usu- ally includes developing pa- tience, accepting setbacks better, realizing time is out of your control, eating and cooking in a healthier fash- ion, increasing activity, changing self-talk, and in general, learning better to enjoy the ride, rather than wait for the destination. Once that becomes a lifestyle, a healthy, sustain- able weight becomes an unavoidable result.
