You can see weight tables on just about every "Weigh Yourself" for a penny scale. They have been prepared by many sources. All of them are based on theory, or on the weight and measurement of a limited number of selected physical specimens. They usually relate your proper weight to your present height. And, of course, it is done separately for men and for women. One man, obviously not ready to be¬lieve what the table told him, as he stepped up and deposited his penny in a side-walk scale exclaimed, "My God, I'm three inches too short!"
Some of these tables make allowances for large, medium and small frames, a concession to the Winston Churchill-types among men and the Sophie Tucker among women. Bone structures do differ. Large frames weigh more and take more tissue and muscle to keep skin and bones together. But it is doubtful that we are talking about a swing of more than 5% in one direction or another.
Look up your weight in Table II. Use your erect height for this purpose. For this is your true height. Even though the burdens of the world and of your own weight are bending you low, it won't be ever thus. Once you attain your proper weight, your whole revitalized outlook will bring about a more erect posture. You may now add or subtract up to 5% depending on whether you feel you have a slender or stocky frame.
Remember your correct weight. You have seen it before, thought about it for a moment, and then dropped it. This time hang on to it. Say it aloud a few times. "My healthful and proper weight is ___ pounds." Write it in that space.
Look at the numerals you have written. Visualize yourself at that weight. Put the book down and think about that weight as you relax and prepare to read on.
