Do not think that I discourage you from using any physical activity in the course of weight loss. It is necessary not for weight loss, but to keep your muscles healthy.
Yet, there is another trap that almost everyone falls into. If I eat more, it’s enough to train longer. This works for a car. The more gas you pour into the tank, the longer you drive. If this works for a human, then as soon as the energy obtained with food came to an end, the person would immediately stop until someone re-fueled him. We spend energy that we have received long before this. To be precise, what you ate on Monday will be spent two days later, on Wednesday.

Artyom Andreyevich Ovechkin:
– How many pounds did you wife drop?
– At least thirty-three pounds. We have three children. But she is as slim now as she used to be many years ago.
– As you see, the training has been very productive!
– She commented on me. What a shame!
– ☺
– OK, got it. Mila, what about you? What was your last straw?
– I guess I was stressed when I found out that my weight is over 220 pounds. Another issue: I went on business trips and bought a new jacket every fall. I was at a size 18, but I bought clothing of 20 size. I prefer loose clothes. This year I found out that all my jackets are too tight for me. Size 20 is too small for me now. I was really terrified. Another scary moment: I noticed that when I met friends, I tried to pass by without greeting them. People are used to seeing me as a person I was before – a successful woman who’s capable of doing anything. I don’t want them to see me overweight like this.
– Quality of life deteriorates.
– And my self-esteem decreases.
– …which, in its turn, affects the quality of your life. OK. Nika?
– I began to gain weight after pregnancy. I feel bad. It’s getting harder to move. If I start rocking baby, I get short of breath.
– I see. Olesya?
– I buy 16 – 18 size clothing. Customers and colleagues hint that I am overweight. I heard a new customer said recently:
“Is this plump brunette your director?” Another customer uses to greet me like: “Hi Rolly Polly!”
– ☺
– Shame on him! I am trying to ignore it but being a director…
– It might be really frustrating. OK, I see.
Olga Vladimirovna Tsyganova, 28, economist, lost 110 lbs I am well aware of the problems with clothes. Once, I was at a size 24, even 26 sometimes. I know it sounds terrifying. How could I let myself gain so much excess weight? Every year I bought clothing of a bigger size. When I started to drop weight, almost my clothing ‘got slimmer’ together with me. I re-sew it because I knew that I didn’t want to stop, and buying new clothes every month would be costly and irrational. I am at a size 10—12 now. It’s fantastic, cause it’s so easy to find a nice trendy outfit for me almost in every store. It’s only the beginning. I’m still working for better results.
Group session of psychologist
Artyom Andreyevich Ovechkin:
– Anzhelika?
– I don’t like myself anymore. It’s scary to look at myself in the mirror.
– What do you feel at that moment?
– Disgust. This is what I turned into…
– Is it frustrating?
– Yes. Excess weight affects my health well-being, especially when I am at work, even though my job is not related to any physical labor. Once my colleague and me walked from one office room to another one. She told me suddenly: “Anzhelika, you have a short of breath.” I felt embarrassed. It was like a slap in the face.
– Breathe. It’s normal that you are crying now. Here, take a napkin. I understand what you mean. During the training we will definitely work through all the feelings that you have accumulated. You haven’t let them go. They are still in your mind. Ksenya?
– Actually, it’s all the same. Eighteen months ago I was two sizes smaller. Then I gained five kilograms and couldn’t drop them for a year. I even gained more during Christmas holidays. In short, I frantically tried to figure out how to lose weight, rushed from one extreme technique to another. I haven’t tried any diet. Of course, I don’t eat in the evening. It helped me for a while. The last straw was when a shop assistant that was picking out clothes for me said: “I guess you wear a size 18”. I am concerned about these changes.
– What size did you wear before?
– I was at a size 12. In my opinion, I look a lot older and a bit vulgar now.
– We all feel spine-chilling after your words.
Where do you come from and where do you go?
Andrey Vasilyevich Trenogov, psychologist, psychiatrist: Before you start losing weight, you need to send a certain time clarifying a few uneasy issues.
In order to achieve the goal, you need to understand clearly where you come from and where you go.
To do this, you can do the following exercise: write down (no need to think it over, just write down everything that comes into your mind) all sides of your life affected by excess weight. How does it affect your physical and mental health, work, and relationships with relatives, friends, and other people?
How do you feel about it? Where are these feelings concentrated (in your head, chest, in the stomach, or in the whole body)?
Ask yourself: How do I see myself now? What image appears in your mind? It can be an abstract image, a metaphor, or something.
Then describe the environment where you want to get to. Move mentally to a moment of time when you have already achieved what you want and describe your new life in the present tense. Describe your health state, relations with friends, and relatives. Think about other positive changes weight loss brought into your life.
