on( Free To Be Thint. Carolee was 90 pounds overweight. She was lonely, angry and at the end of her rope. In her ()pinion, there was no answer for her weight problem. She agonized at being overweight, but contin- ued eating and going on tbod binges. She and two overweight friends often went out together and did something they ealted \"pigging out.\" They went from restaurant to restaurant eating until they could barely walk. The next day Carolee would suffer food hangovers worse than a liquor hangover. Carolee went on dozens of diets. She would lose 10 pounds and gain 20; lose 5 pounds and gain 10; lose 15 pounds and gain :/0. Desperate and miserable, Carolee cried out to C, od for help. When she found Overeaters Victorious, her small five-toot-one- inch frame weighed in at 210 pounds. Carolee s life parallels the lives of thousands of other people who have never reached the fulfillment of their dream to be thin. I hin! Carolee tried everything she could think of to become thin--diet pills, diet shots, diet candy, diet gum, hypnosis, Weight Watchers, TOPS (she was even a national loser one year--took only 12 months to gain back what she lost plus an ad- (titional 23 pounds} and diets! She had tried them all: the Still- man diet, the Rubin diet, the grapefruit diet, the banana diet, tl~e ice cream diet, the carbohydrate diet, the protein diet, the Air Force diet, the potato diet, the celery and carrot diet. She had taken liquid protein and lost 20 pounds. (She gained 30 pounds back and a week in the hospital.) She tried Slender Now and other powdered protein drinks and only lost 5 pounds be- cause she d drink the protein drink and then eat a full meal. She fasted, drank only juices for weeks at a time, and even as a last resort tried acupuncture. When that didn t work, she opted li,r hi-pass surgery. The surgeon told her she wasn t heavy enough. She needed to be 100 pounds overweight and she was just under that.
