Minsk woman how to lose 30 kg

GO.TUT.BY has announced a "Before and After" contest, in which Belarussians tell how a healthy lifestyle has changed them. Software engineer Galina from Minsk told her story: how cheese and grains have gradually grown, reached a critical point for themselves, but managed to move to a healthy diet.

– I have never had thin skin since my constitution is hyperstenic. But in her youth, she walked a lot after work, during her free time, which allowed her to stay in shape. However, when I got married, there was less free time to walk, I started driving more with my husband on business, we loved to eat tasty food. Fat, I started before the birth of the child. But that did not seem critical, because with a growth of 168 cm, it weighed about 70 kg.

During pregnancy, recovered slightly. About seven kilograms, because we suspected a big fruit and I held back a lot in the food.

After birth, there was little time for me. And I carried away curd bars in the chocolate. Fast, convenient, hbadle free. When the child was five months old, I started working at home. But the weight has not won yet. In the afternoon, we walked a lot with the baby and in the evening I worked late.

When the child was three years old, I had health problems. And I started to get better. I was just swollen, the rings stopped growing, the clothes became small and I could not do anything about it. In 2014, my weight was about 90 kg. It has become increasingly difficult to buy the clothes you like. I stopped being photographed, because it was scary to look at me in the photo. It even seemed that this weight gain was somehow a sudden major force. I checked the hormones, pbaded the tests, but I did not indicate that I had problems. District clinic doctors said shortly, "You just need to eat less." Well, how to do it? Around so many different delicious dishes.

In the fall of 2014, I was hospitalized for very serious pneumonia, complicated with pleurisy. And there, she lost a little – limited nutrition, powerful drugs that discourage your appetite.

However, a month later, when I returned home, everything returned to normal: delicious food, little movement. A year later, I started weighing less than 100 kg. And in 2016, I already weighed 105 kg. Late 2015 – early 2016, I had some problems. And I stuck them: I sat down, watched TV, eating pancakes with meat.

The legs were swollen, shortness of breath appeared. How to limit myself to food, I did not know. In 2016, from May to October, she tried to ride a bike. And weathered right: I ate before the trip, traveled 20 km every day. After the trip did not eat. Reinforced his legs, but the weight remained the same.

Friends and relatives have openly said to lose weight. This fullness seriously affects my health. Especially worried mom. She brought me my old pictures, told me how beautiful I was. Some of his friends, right in front of me, did not hold their surprise by looking at pictures from 12 years ago: "Is it Galya? It can not be!

Once, my husband took a video where I swim in a swimsuit with a child at White Lake in Naroch District. I watched this video and I was terrified. I did not believe myself that I was on it. Indeed, in my heart, I stayed the same blond siren, 10 years ago.

In the autumn of 2016, I rested in Spain. I will remember for a long time the feeling of seeing myself in the elevator in a big mirror. This soft woman with a huge belly and swollen face could not be me. I especially hated my belly. He was ugly and huge. I even planned to do a tummy tuck. It was disgusting of the second chin. And what to do with that? Liposuction is understandable. It's very good that I have not decided on any of these operations.

In the fall of 2016, a lady who entrusted me with a manicure advised her dietitian. I registered the phone, but for a long time was not ready to turn to it.

In the summer of 2017, we went to Turkey on an "all inclusive" basis. I had beautiful swimsuits. But what good are they if the body does not suit me? Photos taken by a professional photographer, such as "jump", were simply terrible. Who am I like?

In the fall of 2017, my husband insisted on going to the dietician. I spent the necessary exams and went to the doctor. And here the worst has started.

It turned out that I ate completely badly. Too much carbohydrate. And well again! I did not eat any cookies, but I ate porridge three times a day. Yes, and did not disdain the cakes.

The doctor said that she should completely give up the sweet, salty, spicy. The refusal of alcohol was not a problem for me – I used it very rarely, even as a rule even during the holidays.

Rebuilding their eating habits was very, very difficult. The food has become a lot less. My favorite pancakes and my potatoes with meat are gone.

I went home. I shouted that my fullness suited everyone except them. They already thought I would eat them.

But I did not give up. And do not even break on gluttony.

I cried while eating a hated chicken bad and I dreamed that the time would come: I will meet again someday.

However, I read something about eating behavior, about her violations, and I realized that diet is only a mechanism, but you have to find a way to take some pleasure not to eat.

There were a lot of tools in the arsenal – cycling, walking, for which I reserved time, an exercise bike, it was cold outside. I must admit that I did not join the fitness club. But replaced the physical form with other physical activities.

When, in September 2018, one year after my first visit to a nutritionist, we went to Turkey again, I already weighed 75 kg. And did not even improve in Turkish "all inclusive". Because she was actively swimming in the sea and knew how to eat well. I just received everyone with my "photograph me".

In October 2018, my mother and I went to Sweden by ferry and tour in the Baltic States. It was a bliss: feeling lightness in the body, making excursions and being photographed in the background

In fact, for the year, I lost 30 kg. The liver is back to normal and that's good news. No more need for bad food. Visit a dietitian doctor once a month. He makes sure that all meals are correct. Because, fascinated, I started to throw some foods in my diet to further reduce calories. For example, removed the nuts, found that they were too high in calories. The doctor said that it was wrong. The doctor also explains that you should not abuse a very small amount of calories – this slows the metabolism, the body goes into shock and begins to accumulate.

Now, I weigh 72 kg. Far from a feather, but the stomach is gone, my hips are 95 cm. The doctor says that my desired 65 kg may not be very necessary for me: I have to commit myself to giving more elastic forms to my body.

I fell in love again to buy my clothes, to be photographed. Mom still shows my photos and hears again: "Is this Galya? It can not be! – already only with admiration.

And I still can not get used to my new body, but already more calmly I look at the picture, where I'm tall. Without that self-hatred that was before.

Discontent with oneself gives rise to many psychological chimeras. On the one hand, by hating you, you are angry with the whole world. On the other hand, you practice servility. That is to say that if everyone likes it, it will love you (even if you are fat).

Therefore, it is important not only to rebuild dietary habits, the diet is only a mechanism. It was important to restructure your worldview. Do you like different, even in this hated body.

Now, I plan to inflate the arm muscles, this is exactly the place that has suffered during weight loss. And always try to make the size less than 80 cm. In general, there are many plans, as if, as Brutto sings, "the world is at your feet".
