I The firm’s executive vice presi
dent, Thomas Juijn, made the pres
entation and visited the university’s
decompression chambers where
Fife and his team of student re
searchers have been experimenting
with new breathing mixtures and
constructing new diving tables to
allow divers to go deeper, stay
longer and come up faster. They
also run a 24-hour emergency serv
ice for patients needing treatment
with oxygen under pressure.
Dr. Fife and his researchers are
currently working with Smit-Leeler
on a project using decompression
chambers where as many as six di
vers can live and work for up to 30
days at depths down to 1,000 feet.
Such capability would greatly in
crease the effectiveness of divers
and reduce the cost of this type of
work. The project is a cooperative
effort with faculty researchers from
Texas A&M and the University of
Houston at Clearlake.

Many people try fad diets, taste-
;s recipes, extreme exercises and
11s to lose weight overnight, says
llurti Hasselhack who teaches a
.iving Slim” course.
People lose 10 to 20 pounds using
lesc extreme methods, but they
ift back into old eating patterns
ma^pg fid regain lost pounds, Hasselhack
ays. To break this cycle, she
aches the Living Slim course to
lose who are serious about losing
eight and keeping it off.
Hasselhack holds a master’s de-
ree in health science.
Living Slim is a new concept in
mnanent weight control,” Hassel-
aek says. “The diet is the main

11 of us have an undermining factor

ur efforts to be slim, so we can cou

control, whether it’s stopping after
the second cookie or riding a bike
regularly. Most people are not lucky
to be thin. They work at it in some
way.
“We do not ask our students to go
on a diet because to go on a diet
means they will have to go off of it at
some point and the pounds will re
turn. We help each person to
gradually modify his eating habits,
behavior and lifestyle in a painless
way, so-weight will gradually come
off and stay off. ”
Hasselhack says a person should
not punish himself for small failures
in a weight control program. She
tells her students to think positively
that they will continue losing weight
even if they fail sometimes.
While obesity is caused by eating
more than the body can use, reasons
for overeating are many, Hasselhack
says. Our culture, boredom, frustra
tion and bad habits all lead to over
eating, she adds.
“We are an eating society,” Has-
selback says. “If we want to show
our love for someone, we make
them a rich chocolate cake. We are
also stimulated by advertisements to
eat, and our language is oriented to
eating. On the other hand, we are
told we must be skinny to look good.
We re receiving a double message.
“People were not overweight
several hundred years ago, because
they worked hard and ate natural
foods. The food industry today is out
for personal profit and not for per
sonal health, so our diet has a lot of
harmful white flour and sugar in it. ”
H asselbaek says people are
motivated to be slim not only for
their appearance, but also for their
health since hypertension,
shortened life, lowered self-esteem,
heart disease and high blood pres
sure are the results of being over
weight. Women are more interested
in staying slim than men, but people
of all ages take the course, she says.
The Living Slim course is offered
by a non-profit organization called
The Growing Center.
