There are so many “weighty” people among us, but not in terms of authority, intellect, but in weight category. We are surrounded by those who have become lighter, are now on this path, and those who have long relaxed living in weight, and those who suffer from that that the weight grows and brings a lot of inconvenience, discomfort, and suffering. The topic of excess weight is interesting to me due to the fact that I went through the above stages. Realizing that it is not the food itself, its quantity, time of consumption, the presence or absence of physical activity, but much deeper reasons that help us accumulate and maintain weight, I began to study them. She created the “Path to Slimness and Harmony” program, which has been successfully running for more than three years. In this program, we study our feelings, sensations and needs, get acquainted with our true reasons for overeating, reform our beliefs, which ultimately changes our eating behavior. Often, only this awareness and understanding can save us from tens of kilograms. I would like to share the thoughts and realizations identified in the search and analysis of the causes and habits related to weight and food among women who completed this program. This is only a small part of the insights that come from the group when working with the causes of excess weight.1. “I realized that I want to eat when the situation is not under my control - I don’t own it. And awareness - there is no control - acts as a call to food and alcohol.”2. “I realized that the desire to eat and forget, as if from hunger, is in fact an endless desire to catch up or achieve something that will constantly fade into the shadows. The result is that with such a weight it’s impossible to run, and then what you wanted to achieve is perceived anew, like, yes, it went to .....”3. “The desire to quickly eat everything and experience satiety as a result is akin to my desire to quickly understand or learn something. I swallow large pieces without chewing, not understanding what I am eating and how, similar to how I sometimes read literature - I quickly run my eyes, swallow information in order to quickly understand the essence, the result is that I read, filled my brain with loosely connected information, but did not understand the essence. In short, the desire to quickly experience the effect of food and the effect of information sets one up for rapid consumption, and as a result, the severity of one and the other. I started to tune in to the process and not the result, and it became a little better. When I notice it, I can control it.”4. “I understand that I am a person prone to addictions; if I get rid of one, I get something else. If you get rid of addiction to food, then addiction to alcohol, smoking, and reading comes. While reading, I think about something without understanding what exactly I was reading. Watching the film, I again run away somewhere with my thoughts. Everything is in some kind of analysis, dreams, daydreams.... That is, enjoying the process of what I do is not always possible. Unless I’m writing an article, if I’m in a creative upsurge, I’m all in this process, then when something very important in me finds realization, then yes. No food or anything else is needed. I concluded that I am happy at the moment when I trust myself and realize myself.”5. “My overeating and, as a result, severe condition in the evenings, helps me quickly escape from all household chores and sex. That is, to retire from everything and again into dreams and analysis. 6. Reflecting on the topic of my husband and men in general, I came to conclusions and hypotheses - excess weight worked in childhood as an opportunity to avoid early sexual experience, with my husband - I am not motivated by the opportunity for him stop liking me, especially since I was both very slim and very plump. The husband was attentive and in love at both moments, and looked and not only looked at the side, also at different weights. But, perhaps, sometimes excess weight and a not very beautiful body can be like a punishment for him, or revenge on himself and him. In relation to other men, this is a clear defense. Although this can at the same time be a seduction with appetizing forms, under the strict condition that no one will come closer than a meter, and therefore will not touch.”7. “Excess weight and volume are a shell through which close contact with.
