European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - December 6, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Saturday december 6. 1s86 the stars and stripes Arm Landers dear Ann Landers this Leuer is prompted by the plea from determination i Minnesota the bulimia stricken Young Mother. I can i Tell you How Many times i have picked up my pen and started the same let Ter when i was desperate and alone with my disease. Your advice was right on tar get. Determination and willpower Nave absolutely nothing to do with bulimia. Every morning for. A i1 we a and swore to myself that 1 was not going to Binge and purge. In leu than four hours i vat in the grocery store buying whatever appealed tomcat the moment filling up my cart with cookie potato chips doughnuts ice Cream frankfurters pea nut butter and Candy bars. Then i d break out in a nervous sweat when i paid the cashier became i Felt so guilty. When got Home i d stuff my face until Ray stomach looked like i was six months pregnant. I d make myself vomit and become so weak i Shook for 1 minutes. Three months ago i knew in did t put an end Tomy bizarre behaviour i would either die from the illness or Kilt myself. 1 entered the Baylor University medical enter disorder unit in Dallas. For to Days 1 did nothing but cry. Then i began to meet dozens of people who did t think i was disgusting or nuts. They were men and women who had been afflicted with the same problem some for As Long at 15 Yean. They All admitted that they were powerless when it came to food just As the alcoholic is powerless when it comes to alcohol. The difference is that the alcoholic need not Lake another drink. The bulimic must eat food everyday. The program at Baylor is patterned after alcoholic Anonymous. Ann it really works. 1 have been out in the real world for six weeks. I a living one Day at a time. I am not looking ahead a month or a year. All i want to do is get through  know i am going to make it because i have found the formula. God Bleu the support group associated wit the clinic and the wonderful therapists who will help me if i weaken. Please keep telling people who write with this prob Lem to quit trying to conquer it alone. They Are fight ing a Rosing Battle. They must get with some professionals or join Over eaten Anonymous or another self help group. The listings Are in the phone Book. Or the nearest University can provide guidance. Just ask for the psychology department or the department of nutrition.

At thit tune every year people become Joyful and kind because a Christmas. Everybody wishes everyone would act this Way All year Long instead of Only once a year. It May be hard to believe but Christmas cheer can be found Al year through. Last year i arrived in Wiesbaden Germany a week before Christmas. I was a private fresh from training and High school. I Felt isolated and homesick. There was no Joy in my merry Christmas the holidays turned out to be bearable thanks to spec. 4 Olan his wife Jeannine and their three Chil Dren. They invited me to their House for dinner and i was treated to a fancy homemade dinner. They Al Lowed me to share in their family spirit of the holi Days. It was because they showed a Little kindness and Good cheer that survived. Well the holidays came and went but the Olan did t we continued to be Good friends and till Are today. I live in the Barracks and it is Nice to have some place else to go All year round. I want to say think so you see it does not Lake much to spread a Litt happiness All year round. Dont make Chi Isunza the excuse to act a certain Way. Act As if each Day were Given for Christmas just As eager jul As precious. It i not hard and a Tot of other people would feel a Lotfelter.  wk�i4en, y an replies on delayed showing of football Ornow Nung this letter is in reference to an airing of monday night football which is shown on an on tuesday nights providing that the satellite networks function properly. It seems to me that airing of the football game is just a waste of about three hours of regular to viewing Prog Aros the reasons i m taking a negative approach about this Are the game has already been played and everyone knows the final results before it comes on to tuesday night. If an is going to air the tame it teems to me a bit absurd Why an radio All throughout the Day gives you an update on who won the scores and verbal highlights. If you Are going to air the game on tuesday nights personally Don t wish to hear the final results or verbal highlights especially if the team i m rooting for lost it takes the fun out of watching the game on an to tuesday night. By not showing it you can broadcast your hearts out Over the radio about who won. Second if you Are going to air the game on tuesday nights just try this on a trial basis. Have the sportscaster s say nothing about the game. If anything have them say that you can View the game on to tuesday night editor s note Milt Flat Maui a an a rate Foda tent ctr Replat pm to twi Aad Lair i letter Taft i an Awan that  of Moi Fath my tort in  with my Triff cob Frewen.
