Boy, it’s good to be home. I’ve
heard about these “vacations”
from some of the other girls, but
that was my first one.
Some vacation it started out to
be. First they dragged me out of
the comfortable meadow, where I
was just getting ready for a nap. In
fact, I’d just settled down into my
favorite spot, that muddy comer
behind the biggest tree trunk,
when they came looking for me.
Chased me and a couple of my
herdmates back into the pen. Then
they slipped one of those halters
on each of us and led us outside.
They’ve been doing, that for
awhile, taking us for walks each
evening. I like it because we
always get an extra scoop of grain
afterward.
Not this time. Next thing I knew
we were inside a stuffy trailer, and
1 was stuck next to that bossy Bes
sie. She thinks she’s such big
stuff, just because she’s a little
older and taller than me. And she
kept shoving me with her hard
head.
Tbe air blowing around my face
felt good when we started moving
down the road. Befor long though,
they stopped and opened the door.
There were a lot of loud noises
and strange smells and people all
over the place. My owner called it
the “fair”. A couple of people tried
to pet me when they took me out
of the trailer. It scared me and I
jumped away.
Then they tied me in a stall. At
least it wasn’t with Bessie. She got
tied in with Wanda, who always
steals everyone’s feed. Serves her
right.
Just when I’d settle ddown in
this soft pile of fresh straw, they
came along and made me get up
again. Next thing I knew, I was
getting a haircut with that noisy
clipper thing. It took forever. My
feet were tired and that loose hair
made me all itchy. Finally they
stopped, and let me have a drink.
But the water tasted funny, not
like what we have in the meadow.
I was teally thirsty, but I only

Lose weight for a lifetime.
Penn State’s College of Agricul
tural Sciences has introduced a
weight-management program
designed to help people shed
pounds permanently.
“Although many people lose
weight on traditional diets and
weight-control plans, 95 percent
gain the weight back,” says Dr.
Madeleine Sigman, assistant pro
fessor of food, science and a regis
tered dietitian. To address the
problem, Sigman developed "MY
NEW WEIGH OF LIFE”, a prog
ram that teaches partlbipants to
integrate weight loss into their
lifestyles, “managing your weight
is a personal issue,” Sigman says.
“To be permanent it must become
part of your life.”
The program grew out of cur
rent research into theories about
obesity, weight loss and coping
management. Participants are
given accurate, up-to-date infor
mation about food, nutrition and
exercise. They are encouraged to
recognize their own needs and
choices and to be more physically
drank a little.
Bessie went next. She was still
lovesick for that bull and moped
around and bawled in front of the
judge. She didn’t get a ribbon at
all.
I couldn’t wait to tell the other
heifers in the pasture all about my
vacation when we got home a cou
ple of days later. Bessie hasn’t
said a word to me ever since.
I wonder when we can go on
vacation again?

active. Participants alos learn how
to lower the fat content of favorite „
recipes. The program’s philoso
phy is that there are no forbidden
foods, only those a person might
choose to eat less often and in
smaller amounts. By keeping a
diary of their food intake and
mood patterns, participants iden
tify behaviors that have led them
to overeat. Record keeping also
helps them set realistic goals.
For permanent results, the prog
ram calls for a slow loss of weight,
'/> to 2 pounds per week. Enrol
lees must eat three meals daily. “If
you don’t eat for a long time dur
ing the day, your body signals to
itself that whatever comes in next
should be stored as fat,” says Sig
man. “If you skip a meal to lose
weight, you actually are defeating
the purpose.”
