Weight loss: how to respond to the opinions of others

So, one day, the girl was determined to lose weight. Perhaps she was tired of constantly catching on herself evaluating and not the most benevolent glances. Or finally tired of hearing the question: "Do you have a larger size?" Negative answer. Or maybe I just wanted to finally pull myself together and achieve my ideal, so as not to be shy to undress on the beach or in front of a guy. In any case, there is no more return - losing weight is inevitable.

Even if you do not publicly announce your intentions to lose weight, one day others will notice changes in the behavior of losing weight. She no longer buys cream donuts in the patisserie opposite the work, refuses to eat a slice of chocolate cake during lunch, and for dinner, the beloved sandwiches with smoked sausage were replaced by kefir and cottage cheese. It is easy to guess that the reason for this, if you think about it, to global changes is His Majesty's weight loss.

The reaction from others may be different. Consider the main reactions and ways to respond to them.

1. Everyone knows that true female friendships are extremely rare, if at all. Cute girlfriends chatting, smiling with a wide smile and always supporting, can be terrible envious and ardent gossips, discussing friends behind their backs. How will such girls react to the news about losing weight of their girlfriend?

They consider each of their acquaintances as competitors, therefore their main task is to prevent excess weight from the “girlfriend”. How? They will achieve this with flattery and sympathetic smiles. They will begin to exhort and convince that the figure of the losing weight is actually perfect, and they themselves dream of such.

Such girls will shrug their shoulders in surprise and claim that they simply do not understand where to lose weight further. They can constantly be tempted to break loose by eating high-calorie sweets with the most unflappable look right in front of their noses. Moreover, this whole performance will look so innocent and natural that it will be impossible to doubt the goodwill of the girls' intentions.

How to respond to such provocations? Agree with every word with a smile, nod understandingly and in no case speak of yourself and your figure in a negative way. Even if you do not like your body, this does not need to be known to envious and vile girls. Of course, sweets and buns should be abandoned, motivating this with their transition to proper nutrition.

2. Basically, as will be described below, mothers who lose weight behave. Even if her daughter weighs 150 kg, still for her she will be a thin and fragile girl. Such people perceive the news of the girl’s diet in an acutely negative way, including in their story an abundance of stories about poorly completed weight loss and threatening anorexia. In addition, they will at any convenient moment feed the losing weight, so as not to let her lose a couple of kilograms.

How to respond to this behavior? Do not be offended. Unlike the first group, such people sincerely try to help and do the best. You should not try to prove the need for a diet (it still won’t work out), it’s better not to advertise your new diet and not talk about dangerous topics.

3. Often in the company of girls, when one goes on a diet, everyone soon begins to lose weight. Not surprisingly, several acquaintances, who also decided to say goodbye to being overweight, will inevitably appear among the environment of losing weight. With such women it will be possible to discuss success in losing weight, share experience, get support and motivation.

Still, losing control, knowing that several more people know about your diet, will be several times harder. Conscience will not allow to violate the diet.
