Diet and Health; With Key to the Calories by Lulu Hunt Peters

Description

I never will tell you how much I have weighed; I am so thoroughly ashamed of it, but my normal weight is one hundred and fifty pounds, and at one time there
was seventy pounds more of me than there is now, or has been since I knew how to control it. I was not so shameless as that very long, and as I look back upon
that short period I feel like refunding the comfortable salary received as superintendent of an hospital, for I know I was only sixty-five percent efficient.
Efficiency decreases in direct proportion as excess weight increases.
