– Eating to join the club. As usual, a person eats one and a half, and sometimes twice as much when eating with friends. Researchers conducted experiments in different countries. A person eats less when surrounded by strangers. When dining with friends, one overeats.

– What about TV?

– Dining with TV is the worst option. We’ll discuss it today.

Let’s talk about physiological reasons for weight gain. What are they?

– Sedentary life.

– Inactive lifestyle, heredity, and so on. Poor me, I’ve got a defective gene from Granny, and it ruined my life. ☺ “Have you seen my Granny? No? Look, here is her picture”. – “So what?” – “It’s not my fault that I am overweight? Look! My Granny weighted three hundred thirty pounds. Have you seen my Mom? Now you understand!”

People tend to shift responsibility to other shoulders.

It is the easiest way to explain obesity. “I am fat because all my ancestors were fat.”

Other popular “contributors” are pregnancy and maternity. Nika, I know you consider it to be a reason for your weight gain”.

Olga Vladimirovna Tsyganova, 28, economist, lost 110 lbs: When people ask me how I had gained so much weight, I reply: “I had been overeating since I was a child.” I never blamed my heredity or anybody even though my parents introduced baby porridges to me too early. They were afraid that their daughter would be undernourished. As she grew older, she continued to eat more and more, and then she started gorging herself with foods. Yes, I ate a lot. Even when I was full, I couldn’t stop staring at all these yummy foods. When I came to grannies, aunts, it seemed like their main task was to shove everything they had into me, just to demonstrate hospitality. And I was pretty content with it. I am sure many of you understand me very well.

Frankly speaking, I still have this feeling from time to time, but now I know how to deal with it. In my childhood, parents often took me to endocrinologists. Doctors claimed with one accord that I would lose excess weight as I grew older, I would shoot up. But it never happened. By twenty-one, I weighed two hundred fifty pounds. How I hated my reflection in the mirror, I hated myself for my weakness! At one point, an inner voice told me: “Olya, you can’t go on like this, and you will be unhappy for the rest of your life.” And it just clicked in my mind. That summer, I finished the fourth year of university and had the last year ahead. Suddenly I realized that I wanted to receive an honors diploma and come to the University graduation ceremony as a slim beauty wearing a beautiful outfit. So, I got two primary goals for the coming year: an honors diploma and a slim body! Well, I achieved my goals. Now it’s your turn. Will you dare?

– It’s all due to feeding.

– Sure, breath-feeding. What else? Endocrine disorders.

Let’s explore this set of reasons.
