"My

children
vis going la turn
Into orphans. "
It wn i simple that. savs
the Rev. Edsel F. Pugh. Realita
tion of this grisly fact was the
turning point for the Dayton pas
tor who had stuffed hiimelf to a
daggering iS pounds.
In nine months, after his doctor
had warned him hed die voung
unlets he lost considerable
weight. Mr. P u g h took off 98
pounds.
Like countless other Americans
battling the problem of obesity.
J the pastor of Hillcrest Brethren
j Church put off doing something
j about this threat to his physical
! well being.
"Sometime tomorrow next
week next monih. I would begin
to diet," Mr. Pugh always told
"himself. As a minister, he says.
his "intemperance was a thorn in
the fleeh."
) The road to gluttony was an
easy one. For S-foot--inch Edsel
Pugh it began when he. as a
aludent pastor serving the rural
churches in Kentucky, and his
wife Ann spent weekends with
the church families. Says he:
I "They fed us to the point of
misery. We sampled every variety
of- rich Southern food and loved
it."
i To one particularly fine cook
who knew his weakness for South
ern fried chicken and old Ken
tucky ham. he often joked: "When
I 'die. you can always say, '1
helped kill that hey.' "
Mr. Push's diet then and later,
- after he took over the Dayton
1 pastorage, "must have exceeded
i S.OOO calories." He ignored, even
rekenled the advice of friends.
, As the clergyman looks back on
, the period before his diet, he
realizes he was in "constant stress
from psychological, as well as
physical symptoms. I had lost my
elf respect. I was always tired
and consequently unmotivated.
My work lagged and I found no
aense of satisfaction through ac
complishment." ' His doctor started him on a rig
Id diet. For 14 days his only food
was 20 ounces of liquid formula
dextrose, evaporated milk, corn
oil and water. After three or four
days, he says, it felt good to be
empty. .-
In seven days he was desper
ate But he lost 17 pounds in the,
two-week period. This gave him
incentive to go on a 1.000-calorie
diet for the next seven and a
half months. Then his calorie al
lowance was increased to 1.200
day. .
Going about his church duties
and attending frequent social
events. Mr. Pugh says at first it
was difficult.
"At dinners, 'til people realized
I was serious, they pushed food on
me. Sometimes we could arrange
m advance whai I " eat or not
eat. Otherwise, I just dispensed
with food."
The minister credits his wife
with much of his improvement.
They made a rule that she and
the children would continue their
normal eating habits but he would
stay on his. diet. She, however,
sometimes made allowable sub
stitutions for him when the going
got rough.
"My family made certain I did
not forget the diet by placing a
small ceramic devil m front of
my, place at the table. Our chil
dren constantly warned, 'You
aren't allowed.' "
Now, however, 10-year-old Mark.
7-year-old "Fleety" and J year-old
Martha have a new pal. Dad en
joys outdoor games as much as
they do.
No longer .exhausted by his Fx
cess pounds. Mr. Pugh has new
energy and new interests. He and
his wife go in for antique
hunting and furniture refinishing.
