WANT TO LOSE THOSE HOLIDAY POUNDS? WEIGHT CONTROL SERIES MAY HELP!

A new approach to dieting, Weight-Control-by-Mail, is to be offered by the Rappahannock County office of the Virginia Tech Extension Service.

The series of 10 lessons can begin anytime. The only cost is the time it takes to make a telephone call to the Extension Office for registration. Call Birgitt Thornhill at 675-3619.

L. Janette Taper, a Virginia Tech Extension Specialist in Foods and Nutrition, worked with Rappahannock County agents to prepare the upcoming program. The lessons combine the traditional methods of weight control (restriction of caloric intake and increased physical activity) with the principles of behavior modification. Rather than ainjple weight loss alone, the goal of bethmbr modification is to help individuals ktentify and change life-long eating habits to enable them to choose a nutritionally adequate diet pattern and maintain weight loss over a lifetime.
