1
00:00:08,597 --> 00:00:10,187
Good evening, Chelyabinsk.

2
00:00:10,207 --> 00:00:11,757
My name is Marina Maggi.

3
00:00:12,476 --> 00:00:14,176
Today my topic is:

4
00:00:14,206 --> 00:00:16,876
Slimmers haven't a clue about the slim.

5
00:00:17,573 --> 00:00:21,859
I have dedicated
the greater part of my life

6
00:00:21,859 --> 00:00:23,753
to recovery from acute food addiction.

7
00:00:23,753 --> 00:00:26,023
In February 2013,
my weight was already 92 kg.

8
00:00:26,043 --> 00:00:28,443
Three years ago,
I looked something like this.

9
00:00:28,853 --> 00:00:30,583
Not the easiest time in my life.

10
00:00:31,003 --> 00:00:33,503
I began each day promising myself

11
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:36,642
that today would be
the day I changed my life.

12
00:00:36,642 --> 00:00:41,068
But by lunchtime, the person who'd made
that promise that morning had vanished.

13
00:00:41,068 --> 00:00:43,281
By supper no trace
of determination remained.

14
00:00:43,281 --> 00:00:44,618
I sank into failure,

15
00:00:44,627 --> 00:00:46,617
punished myself with a sense of guilt,

16
00:00:47,043 --> 00:00:48,542
conclusions about myself ...

17
00:00:48,662 --> 00:00:51,232
This went on for
about 10 years of my life ...

18
00:00:51,472 --> 00:00:52,712
every day.

19
00:00:52,732 --> 00:00:54,242
Can you imagine?

20
00:00:55,487 --> 00:00:59,455
I thought, "What's wrong with me?
Why isn't it working?"

21
00:00:59,741 --> 00:01:01,991
There really was
something wrong with me.

22
00:01:02,578 --> 00:01:05,498
The fact was that all this time
I was a "slimmer",

23
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:07,469
an absolutely typical slimmer

24
00:01:07,489 --> 00:01:11,539
with an absolutely typical slimmer's type
of thinking and level of consciousness.

25
00:01:12,146 --> 00:01:15,076
Even when I succeeded
in losing weight through my efforts,

26
00:01:15,106 --> 00:01:16,916
I always just remained a "slimmer".

27
00:01:17,346 --> 00:01:18,955
Today my topic is called:

28
00:01:18,955 --> 00:01:21,667
"Slimmers haven't a clue about the slim."

29
00:01:21,673 --> 00:01:23,133
And I would like to add:

30
00:01:23,133 --> 00:01:25,333
"... that's why you didn't lose weight."

31
00:01:26,191 --> 00:01:27,581
So, let's get started.

32
00:01:28,051 --> 00:01:30,690
With a career of more than
16 years as a coach,

33
00:01:30,694 --> 00:01:33,203
the last four years
working closely with slimmers,

34
00:01:33,203 --> 00:01:35,587
I find a very strong similarity
among them.

35
00:01:35,627 --> 00:01:38,457
And, where there's similarity,
systemacity is to be found.

36
00:01:38,490 --> 00:01:42,760
I divide slimmers into three categories,
depending on the level of excess weight.

37
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:47,120
The first: the indulgent.
They're 3-5 kg overweight.

38
00:01:47,291 --> 00:01:50,701
The second: the suffering.
They're 10-15 kg and above overweight.

39
00:01:51,349 --> 00:01:54,239
The third: sectarians.
They are not overweight at all.

40
00:01:54,339 --> 00:01:56,279
Before I continue, I want to say,

41
00:01:56,299 --> 00:01:59,239
that all coincidences with actual people
are pure coincidence.

42
00:01:59,482 --> 00:02:03,672
To be clear, I do not mean it about you
if you don't think it applies to you.

43
00:02:04,185 --> 00:02:05,805
So, "the indulgent".

44
00:02:06,265 --> 00:02:09,735
The indulgent, these are girls
with excess weight of 3-5 kg.

45
00:02:09,764 --> 00:02:12,765
Let's just say they have
no serious weight problem,

46
00:02:12,805 --> 00:02:16,715
but they already sense
uncomfortable changes at the microlevel.

47
00:02:16,735 --> 00:02:19,795
Jeans don't sit properly in places,
the swimsuit doesn't do up.

48
00:02:20,408 --> 00:02:24,498
At the microlevel, they're already uneasy,
but are not yet doing anything about it.

49
00:02:24,638 --> 00:02:27,818
They are not ready to take real action.

50
00:02:28,459 --> 00:02:31,329
The indulgent like to talk a lot
about losing weight,

51
00:02:31,359 --> 00:02:34,799
love to put it into heads all around
that they need to lose weight.

52
00:02:36,741 --> 00:02:37,871
Sounds familiar?

53
00:02:38,741 --> 00:02:42,071
I think men will understand me now,

54
00:02:42,101 --> 00:02:44,501
if they have "indulgent" women.

55
00:02:44,743 --> 00:02:46,483
Some are frankly given to hysterics,

56
00:02:46,613 --> 00:02:48,613
others behave more delicately,

57
00:02:48,813 --> 00:02:51,503
tearfully grimacing,
portraying painful emotion.

58
00:02:51,876 --> 00:02:56,266
In a word, those who whine a lot,
and, ultimately, do nothing.

59
00:02:57,238 --> 00:02:59,469
I'll tell you about the games they play

60
00:02:59,489 --> 00:03:04,189
by which they manipulate us
and deceive themselves.

61
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,070
The indulgent do not feel pain
from the excess weight itself.

62
00:03:09,090 --> 00:03:11,750
They feel guilty
because they see the problem

63
00:03:11,770 --> 00:03:13,520
and do not do anything about it.

64
00:03:13,711 --> 00:03:15,572
In order to somehow justify themselves,

65
00:03:15,572 --> 00:03:19,582
they, at first, go on about it a lot,
because it gives them a sense of action,

66
00:03:19,582 --> 00:03:21,801
or an illusion of action
towards a solution.

67
00:03:21,821 --> 00:03:26,153
We often do this regardless of whether
there's a weight problem or not.

68
00:03:26,478 --> 00:03:30,318
And the second: those who indulge
and take on the role of a martyr,

69
00:03:30,408 --> 00:03:32,090
they seem to suffer.

70
00:03:32,260 --> 00:03:33,626
Why do they suffer?

71
00:03:33,626 --> 00:03:36,868
Because martyrs in our society
are always justified, always good.

72
00:03:36,878 --> 00:03:40,198
With us, this is even found
on a legislative level.

73
00:03:40,248 --> 00:03:43,748
Repentance as a mitigating circumstance
in determining guilt.

74
00:03:43,778 --> 00:03:47,768
I just happen to have a legal education,
at least it came in handy somewhere.

75
00:03:48,102 --> 00:03:50,402
So, the indulgent.

76
00:03:50,422 --> 00:03:52,889
On the one hand,
they submittingly admit they do,

77
00:03:52,889 --> 00:03:54,241
on the other, they're OK.

78
00:03:54,241 --> 00:03:56,721
They assuage themselves
with: "It's no problem,

79
00:03:56,751 --> 00:03:59,177
one can continue to indulge
and not lose weight."

80
00:03:59,207 --> 00:04:01,697
This is a visceral,
manipulative game they play.

81
00:04:01,727 --> 00:04:05,337
With this, they really irritate us,
because we all have to listen to it.

82
00:04:06,036 --> 00:04:08,116
The suffering are the second category.

83
00:04:08,156 --> 00:04:10,936
The suffering are of the indulgent.

84
00:04:12,047 --> 00:04:14,197
The principal difference from the first

85
00:04:14,227 --> 00:04:17,906
is that it is a full blown problem
with inescapable extra kilos.

86
00:04:18,156 --> 00:04:21,976
The suffering are girls
who will no longer be whining.

87
00:04:22,327 --> 00:04:26,017
They will not say that they have
put on weight and need to lose weight,

88
00:04:26,047 --> 00:04:29,167
because they know
that it will result in the response

89
00:04:29,167 --> 00:04:32,781
"Yes, you need to lose weight,"
or silence confirming their own view.

90
00:04:32,806 --> 00:04:36,544
They already, most likely, have problems
with self-esteem and confidence,

91
00:04:36,547 --> 00:04:38,237
they do not like to go shopping.

92
00:04:38,257 --> 00:04:41,967
Most likely, one of them has already
lost a guy citing outright the problem.

93
00:04:42,773 --> 00:04:44,783
They do not like to be photographed.

94
00:04:47,511 --> 00:04:53,431
The suffering experience pain
directly from the excess weight.

95
00:04:53,461 --> 00:04:57,041
If the pain of the indulgent
is a sense of guilt from inaction,

96
00:04:57,047 --> 00:05:00,541
then the pain of the suffering
is in the excess weight itself.

97
00:05:01,036 --> 00:05:04,276
The suffering also fall
into this category of slimmers.

98
00:05:05,015 --> 00:05:06,049
The third category.

99
00:05:06,049 --> 00:05:10,465
The indulgent or the suffering
may well become familiar with effort,

100
00:05:10,465 --> 00:05:13,663
and with the help of effort
they manage to lose those extra kilos.

101
00:05:13,663 --> 00:05:15,135
They become slimmer,

102
00:05:15,165 --> 00:05:18,695
but go on to the next category:
sectarian slimmers.

103
00:05:19,223 --> 00:05:21,673
Sectarian slimmers are slim people.

104
00:05:22,172 --> 00:05:24,442
Physiologically they have
no weight problem.

105
00:05:24,462 --> 00:05:27,332
The problem is that they still
continue with their efforts.

106
00:05:27,705 --> 00:05:30,245
They continue their efforts, 
they're fixed on them.

107
00:05:30,245 --> 00:05:33,745
They're fixed on food, what they eat:
when, at what time and how much?

108
00:05:33,745 --> 00:05:37,955
They're fixed on diet, nutrient values,
diet compatibility, exercise:

109
00:05:37,985 --> 00:05:41,245
when, at what time,
before or after exercise?

110
00:05:41,465 --> 00:05:44,055
They are not well balanced,
they are pendulums.

111
00:05:45,068 --> 00:05:47,428
They tend to periodically put on weight

112
00:05:47,428 --> 00:05:50,298
in order to feel alive
and then start to lose weight again.

113
00:05:50,989 --> 00:05:53,479
Sectarians: why do I call them sectarians?

114
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:57,999
Because sectarians tend to create
a religion around their body.

115
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:00,759
They are people who believe in effort,

116
00:06:00,785 --> 00:06:05,205
who believe that the body
is to be subjected to just such hard work.

117
00:06:05,365 --> 00:06:08,785
This work is superhuman expenditure
yielding a result.

118
00:06:09,015 --> 00:06:11,085
Faith unites them in their effort.

119
00:06:11,165 --> 00:06:12,755
I study physiology,

120
00:06:12,785 --> 00:06:15,615
the theory of functional systems
of Pyotr Kuzmich Anokhin.

121
00:06:15,645 --> 00:06:18,166
And I want to talk about
effort and willpower.

122
00:06:18,166 --> 00:06:20,318
There are two concepts:
willpower and effort.

123
00:06:20,318 --> 00:06:23,895
Two different concepts, though
many put an equals sign between them.

124
00:06:23,895 --> 00:06:25,168
[Willpower ≠ effort]

125
00:06:25,168 --> 00:06:28,849
Effort is not physiological, and today 
I'll tell you what it's fraught with.

126
00:06:28,849 --> 00:06:32,016
Exercising on the energy of willpower
is not dangerous in itself.

127
00:06:32,236 --> 00:06:34,296
First, you know
that you have the willpower

128
00:06:35,197 --> 00:06:37,017
as well as strength in your biceps.

129
00:06:37,248 --> 00:06:39,518
You know that without any outward display.

130
00:06:39,588 --> 00:06:42,438
You can apply willpower
towards a possibility

131
00:06:42,468 --> 00:06:44,678
since one might say

132
00:06:44,718 --> 00:06:48,718
that given the availability,
there is some potential.

133
00:06:48,758 --> 00:06:50,988
When movement is willpower driven,

134
00:06:51,008 --> 00:06:53,558
you do not need recovery, deep rest.

135
00:06:53,588 --> 00:06:56,788
Willpower does not create
a fear of future steps,

136
00:06:56,818 --> 00:06:58,638
of future accomplishments.

137
00:06:58,664 --> 00:07:00,014
Effort is the opposite.

138
00:07:00,322 --> 00:07:04,792
Effort: the etymology of the word
implies a doubling of force, put simply.

139
00:07:04,911 --> 00:07:08,011
You apply twice the force,
you overstrain yourself.

140
00:07:08,031 --> 00:07:11,701
Half of that force is spent
suppressing internal resistance

141
00:07:11,711 --> 00:07:14,751
which is all out of line
with your natural physiology.

142
00:07:14,771 --> 00:07:15,981
Only with the other half

143
00:07:16,011 --> 00:07:18,551
do you seem to be progressing
towards a possibility.

144
00:07:18,921 --> 00:07:22,281
All physiology is based on
the principles of balance.

145
00:07:22,451 --> 00:07:26,291
If your system deviates from the norm,
your system wants to restabilize itself:

146
00:07:26,291 --> 00:07:31,001
to stabilize itself by balancing out
deviations to the degree necessary.

147
00:07:32,004 --> 00:07:35,015
In other words, for the deviations
resulting from your effort -

148
00:07:35,015 --> 00:07:36,324
and you deviate

149
00:07:36,554 --> 00:07:40,639
because there is a discharge
of energy and a recoil from it -

150
00:07:40,894 --> 00:07:43,774
your system provides a balance,
to wit a positive feeling.

151
00:07:43,794 --> 00:07:46,744
So when you put effort into your body,

152
00:07:46,774 --> 00:07:48,574
you expect a reward.

153
00:07:48,874 --> 00:07:51,294
You add to what you demand of your body,

154
00:07:52,196 --> 00:07:55,986
but the body is physiological
and can give you nothing but the norm,

155
00:07:55,996 --> 00:07:58,857
because the body or organism
is like the Sun or the weather,

156
00:07:58,857 --> 00:08:00,836
it is impossible to meet this demand,

157
00:08:01,246 --> 00:08:03,746
it does not play with us
in these demand games.

158
00:08:03,753 --> 00:08:05,401
But we know how to get round this.

159
00:08:05,401 --> 00:08:07,836
We need recompensation
in some way for our efforts.

160
00:08:07,866 --> 00:08:12,506
And what recompensation
provides a positive feeling for us?

161
00:08:12,536 --> 00:08:15,946
It's hearing flattery
and compliments about our bodies.

162
00:08:16,176 --> 00:08:20,786
Vanity was not simply acknowledged
as one of the most basic mortal sins:

163
00:08:21,756 --> 00:08:24,486
its test is passed by few.

164
00:08:25,705 --> 00:08:28,575
Sectarians are people
who believe in effort,

165
00:08:29,429 --> 00:08:32,609
and in order to balance
deviation with positive feeling

166
00:08:32,610 --> 00:08:34,633
they need to hear the voice of believers.

167
00:08:34,635 --> 00:08:36,505
Their bodies are a totem,

168
00:08:36,697 --> 00:08:39,246
a temple of worship, an altar of worship.

169
00:08:39,722 --> 00:08:43,217
The indulgent and the suffering,
their believers come every day

170
00:08:43,217 --> 00:08:44,458
to the temple of Instagram

171
00:08:44,458 --> 00:08:46,341
and put candles in the form of "likes".

172
00:08:46,612 --> 00:08:50,242
The sectarians themselves are deeply
rooted in faith in their own bodies,

173
00:08:50,272 --> 00:08:52,212
consider themselves to be special.

174
00:08:52,232 --> 00:08:54,042
Believe me, I know trainers,

175
00:08:54,302 --> 00:08:56,542
who see that they are really worshipped.

176
00:08:56,562 --> 00:08:57,632
That's not religion?

177
00:08:57,772 --> 00:09:00,637
But all would be nothing,
but for another law of physiology

178
00:09:00,637 --> 00:09:03,274
about adaptation
to an already existing deviation,

179
00:09:04,042 --> 00:09:06,062
about adaptation to external stimulus,

180
00:09:06,092 --> 00:09:10,452
according to which any deviation
later becomes normal.

181
00:09:10,472 --> 00:09:13,492
The system adapts and ceases
to respond to the stimulus.

182
00:09:13,504 --> 00:09:15,107
What does this mean for us:

183
00:09:15,108 --> 00:09:19,292
it means that, in order for the system
to react again to the next stimulus,

184
00:09:19,322 --> 00:09:21,642
be aroused by the following stimulus,

185
00:09:21,662 --> 00:09:25,842
the dose must be constantly raised,
or sectarians cease to feel worship.

186
00:09:26,142 --> 00:09:29,652
This means that they need
the voices of new believers.

187
00:09:30,497 --> 00:09:32,687
And the indulgent and the suffering,

188
00:09:33,126 --> 00:09:36,866
they also restabilize with respect to
the perception of the external stimulus,

189
00:09:36,886 --> 00:09:40,116
and they will put a new candle
in the form of a "like" just in case,

190
00:09:40,136 --> 00:09:42,916
if a new sectarian action

191
00:09:43,246 --> 00:09:45,956
demonstrates a skill
beyond the previous one.

192
00:09:46,216 --> 00:09:50,756
We drive ourselves into a system in which
we constantly amplify deviations,

193
00:09:50,776 --> 00:09:53,386
deviating even more from the norm.

194
00:09:53,956 --> 00:09:56,306
So, we have three categories:

195
00:09:57,353 --> 00:09:58,563
the indulgent,

196
00:09:58,603 --> 00:09:59,723
the suffering

197
00:09:59,753 --> 00:10:00,883
and the sectarians.

198
00:10:02,462 --> 00:10:05,411
So, I've now told you about
all three categories of slimmers.

199
00:10:05,462 --> 00:10:07,321
Why are sectarians treated as slimmers?

200
00:10:07,321 --> 00:10:10,143
Because despite the fact
that it seems that physiologically

201
00:10:10,143 --> 00:10:11,793
they do not have a weight problem,

202
00:10:11,818 --> 00:10:15,498
they nevertheless,
in their mindset, remain slimmers.

203
00:10:15,593 --> 00:10:18,543
They eat much the same way ...

204
00:10:19,123 --> 00:10:24,503
In the picture, coaches who do not know
how to impress their believing followers.

205
00:10:25,193 --> 00:10:27,253
Here there is already overamplification.

206
00:10:27,456 --> 00:10:29,776
Sectarians use ideas in the same way.

207
00:10:29,846 --> 00:10:31,366
They preach effort,

208
00:10:31,476 --> 00:10:34,946
monitor, forbid,
place great expectations on bodies,

209
00:10:34,946 --> 00:10:36,615
manipulate the rate of weight loss.

210
00:10:36,615 --> 00:10:38,736
They often have breakdowns in their lives,

211
00:10:38,742 --> 00:10:43,011
after which they have a sense of reversal,
guilt, punish themselves,

212
00:10:43,011 --> 00:10:44,648
draw conclusions about themselves.

213
00:10:44,648 --> 00:10:47,400
The picture is identical:
in terms of their mentality,

214
00:10:47,406 --> 00:10:50,402
they are no different from
the indulgent and the suffering.

215
00:10:50,632 --> 00:10:52,964
Only, the sectarians
have two further problems:

216
00:10:52,964 --> 00:10:54,620
fear of loss of results

217
00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:58,035
and fear of loss of surrogate pleasure
from derived gains of vanity.

218
00:10:58,250 --> 00:11:00,900
Observing the practice of slimmers
for very many years,

219
00:11:00,930 --> 00:11:03,390
being myself of the category,

220
00:11:03,983 --> 00:11:05,233
I noticed,

221
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,890
slimmers forget how to be slim.

222
00:11:10,115 --> 00:11:12,556
And they begin to act out
the image of the slender,

223
00:11:12,574 --> 00:11:15,944
follow their models,
create models, the image of the slim.

224
00:11:15,966 --> 00:11:17,616
Whom do they see before them?

225
00:11:17,623 --> 00:11:19,771
An image of the sectarian slimmer

226
00:11:19,771 --> 00:11:22,355
with overplayed ideas
on healthy living and nutrition.

227
00:11:22,355 --> 00:11:25,480
Right, after all, someone who creates
a religion around her body

228
00:11:25,501 --> 00:11:27,422
is always going to be rather imperious.

229
00:11:27,422 --> 00:11:31,130
They need new followers, new believers,
new candles in the form of "likes".

230
00:11:31,150 --> 00:11:34,120
They take banners, go outside,

231
00:11:34,140 --> 00:11:36,450
and try to convert
everyone to their faith.

232
00:11:36,835 --> 00:11:38,455
And they are good at it.

233
00:11:38,475 --> 00:11:41,295
Slimmers do react to these signals.

234
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,916
But, I remind you, I consider all three
categories to be those of slimmers.

235
00:11:46,499 --> 00:11:49,009
And who are such
"healthy, slender people"?

236
00:11:49,364 --> 00:11:53,007
The fundamental difference between
a healthy, slender person and a slimmer

237
00:11:53,007 --> 00:11:56,254
is that healthy, slender people
do not lose weight.

238
00:11:56,254 --> 00:11:58,957
First, they don't lose weight
in their minds,

239
00:11:58,957 --> 00:12:00,678
don't lose weight in their thoughts.

240
00:12:00,678 --> 00:12:02,128
So they succeed.

241
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:05,020
And if you get close to
a healthy, slim person,

242
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,770
do you know what you find?

243
00:12:07,488 --> 00:12:08,808
Nothing.

244
00:12:09,838 --> 00:12:12,108
You will discover nothing.

245
00:12:12,504 --> 00:12:13,964
They do not think about food,

246
00:12:13,984 --> 00:12:16,917
do not think more about eating
than about using the toilet,

247
00:12:16,917 --> 00:12:18,764
don't make a religion of their bodies,

248
00:12:18,784 --> 00:12:22,114
photos of figures stripped for gym
from all angles are also unlikely.

249
00:12:22,194 --> 00:12:24,134
Addressed with hot compliments,

250
00:12:24,154 --> 00:12:27,234
such people will most likely
react with embarrassment,

251
00:12:27,249 --> 00:12:30,772
genuinely not understanding why there's
such excitement about their body.

252
00:12:30,772 --> 00:12:31,977
And it's all just so.

253
00:12:31,977 --> 00:12:35,512
The excitement forms in the minds of those
for whom to have such a body

254
00:12:35,512 --> 00:12:39,962
means work, effort,
unearthly power of abstinence.

255
00:12:40,719 --> 00:12:43,229
Slimmers, becoming thinner through effort,

256
00:12:43,235 --> 00:12:46,310
crave for compensation
for the lost calorie input.

257
00:12:46,439 --> 00:12:49,729
These people write books about
the difficult path of the Samurai

258
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:54,769
and film documentaries about themselves
craving reward for their effort.

259
00:12:54,899 --> 00:12:57,509
For a healthy, slim person, such a body

260
00:12:57,539 --> 00:13:00,299
is completely natural,
something given at birth.

261
00:13:00,669 --> 00:13:05,549
They do not do anything special
to maintain their bodies.

262
00:13:06,244 --> 00:13:09,878
Healthy, slender people
will not impose aggressive motivation

263
00:13:09,878 --> 00:13:11,285
with posters about slimming,

264
00:13:11,289 --> 00:13:13,419
because there is no gain from vanity.

265
00:13:13,445 --> 00:13:15,515
They don't get carried away with effort.

266
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:19,843
Healthy, slender people
won't call you a fat-ass

267
00:13:19,873 --> 00:13:23,533
because they are not
angry about fat people.

268
00:13:23,633 --> 00:13:25,563
Fat people don't annoy them.

269
00:13:25,753 --> 00:13:27,646
They've no cause for anger with them.

270
00:13:27,646 --> 00:13:30,503
Anger dwells in those
whose lives centre on effort.

271
00:13:30,503 --> 00:13:32,183
It is their own so special game.

272
00:13:32,213 --> 00:13:34,403
The more they hate fat
and the fuller body,

273
00:13:34,414 --> 00:13:37,677
the easier it is for them not to give in
and go that way themselves.

274
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,270
Healthy, slender people are,
for the most part, calm,

275
00:13:41,290 --> 00:13:44,510
at least not irritated by fat people.

276
00:13:44,620 --> 00:13:47,420
There is one problem
with healthy, slender people.

277
00:13:48,475 --> 00:13:51,795
They do not pay
any attention to themselves.

278
00:13:52,758 --> 00:13:55,545
They, for the most part,
have no special characteristics.

279
00:13:56,543 --> 00:13:59,483
And I am here today,
my talk devoted to this fact,

280
00:13:59,503 --> 00:14:03,233
to shift your focus of attention
from those who go with banners

281
00:14:03,728 --> 00:14:06,728
to those who most often remain unnoticed.

282
00:14:06,758 --> 00:14:10,278
Because you should orientate
yourselves towards them,

283
00:14:10,768 --> 00:14:12,768
no matter how strange it may sound.

284
00:14:13,104 --> 00:14:16,904
Do not expect healthy, slender people
to sound off about their inconspicuity.

285
00:14:16,908 --> 00:14:19,179
It would be very strange.
Nothing you'll hear.

286
00:14:19,292 --> 00:14:21,863
Healthy, slender people are inconspicuous.

287
00:14:21,879 --> 00:14:23,772
And your task, your job,

288
00:14:23,792 --> 00:14:28,502
is to pay attention to such people
if you are worried about excess weight.

289
00:14:28,572 --> 00:14:32,012
Pay attention to them
and start watching them.

290
00:14:32,514 --> 00:14:34,574
Who are they? How do they live?

291
00:14:35,134 --> 00:14:37,904
What do they think about?
How do they relate to food?

292
00:14:38,714 --> 00:14:41,684
My sister became such a teacher for me.

293
00:14:41,694 --> 00:14:45,584
I lived together with her for 30 years,
and I didn't notice that she was healthy.

294
00:14:45,754 --> 00:14:47,770
I looked to obsessed coaches

295
00:14:47,780 --> 00:14:50,340
who do not let go of motivational slogans,

296
00:14:50,610 --> 00:14:52,830
but I realized
who was really my motivation,

297
00:14:52,850 --> 00:14:55,170
when I realized what result I wanted.

298
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,250
I wanted to be just as crazy,

299
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,940
or I wanted to be healthy, calm and slim?

300
00:15:01,450 --> 00:15:04,080
When I realized this,
I did not tell my sister about it.

301
00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:05,760
I just started to watch her.

302
00:15:06,510 --> 00:15:08,540
And you know, it changed everything.

303
00:15:09,145 --> 00:15:11,795
I understood why I had not
lost weight all that time.

304
00:15:12,506 --> 00:15:15,506
I had generally gone
the entirely wrong way about it.

305
00:15:15,536 --> 00:15:18,816
You see, slim sectarians,
after losing weight,

306
00:15:18,846 --> 00:15:21,226
became even more fixed
on the topic of food.

307
00:15:21,266 --> 00:15:24,776
In their heads, there was
ever more confusion about food.

308
00:15:25,688 --> 00:15:28,098
With my sister this was not the case.

309
00:15:28,726 --> 00:15:30,306
Not at all.

310
00:15:30,456 --> 00:15:32,266
She did not think about food.

311
00:15:33,141 --> 00:15:35,261
And it really shifted my thinking,

312
00:15:35,269 --> 00:15:37,667
because I realized
the direction I had to go in.

313
00:15:37,685 --> 00:15:40,045
My direction had to be

314
00:15:40,075 --> 00:15:45,075
to rid my head of nonsense
in my approach to slimming.

315
00:15:45,095 --> 00:15:48,255
Above all, no more nonsense.

316
00:15:48,285 --> 00:15:50,155
This was the path I took,

317
00:15:50,175 --> 00:15:53,455
but, on the other hand,
it also became for me a strong test,

318
00:15:53,455 --> 00:15:55,163
one of the strongest tests,

319
00:15:55,163 --> 00:15:59,734
because I began to not understand
how not to think about the white bear.

320
00:16:00,168 --> 00:16:03,198
How not to think about food,
when you already think about it?

321
00:16:04,432 --> 00:16:07,242
It really was a very
difficult task, believe me.

322
00:16:07,562 --> 00:16:09,642
But it was she who changed my idea,

323
00:16:09,672 --> 00:16:12,252
that's why I'm currently
working with slimmers

324
00:16:12,252 --> 00:16:15,252
and helping them to renormalize
away from food addiction.

325
00:16:15,777 --> 00:16:20,187
Slimmers cannot imagine
how a healthy, slender person thinks.

326
00:16:20,427 --> 00:16:23,553
And your task is really to start watching

327
00:16:23,553 --> 00:16:28,777
those who for the most part remain
unnoticed, balanced and calm.

328
00:16:29,209 --> 00:16:31,469
Start to observe the inconspicuous,

329
00:16:31,489 --> 00:16:34,979
start watching those
who are even-keeled towards food,

330
00:16:35,109 --> 00:16:36,469
unworried.

331
00:16:36,754 --> 00:16:38,524
I'm now starting to conclude,

332
00:16:39,044 --> 00:16:44,284
and in closing I would like to address
each of those categories

333
00:16:44,304 --> 00:16:45,854
about which I spoke today.

334
00:16:46,205 --> 00:16:49,055
Indulgent: stop spoiling yourself.

335
00:16:49,488 --> 00:16:52,198
Playing with being overweight
is a very dangerous game,

336
00:16:52,658 --> 00:16:55,518
and recovery is
a very time-consuming, long process.

337
00:16:55,548 --> 00:16:58,698
Believe me, I speak as a person
who is still recovering.

338
00:16:58,718 --> 00:17:00,962
Noticing changes at the microlevel?

339
00:17:00,962 --> 00:17:02,048
Take action.

340
00:17:02,048 --> 00:17:03,993
Sign up at the gym, cut down portions.

341
00:17:04,012 --> 00:17:08,252
Act, don't whine, or you'll inevitably
end up in the sufferer category.

342
00:17:08,464 --> 00:17:12,634
Sufferers, you can become subject
to the hullabaloo of the sectarians,

343
00:17:12,654 --> 00:17:16,184
and if you fall in with effort,
then for sure you will end up among them.

344
00:17:17,188 --> 00:17:19,404
You'll develop ever more
fixed ideas on food,

345
00:17:19,404 --> 00:17:22,272
and you will become
ever more confused about what to eat.

346
00:17:22,294 --> 00:17:24,854
You will realize
that this was a false way,

347
00:17:24,854 --> 00:17:27,047
that you didn't find there
what you sought.

348
00:17:27,047 --> 00:17:29,216
You are still not
well balanced, not healthy.

349
00:17:29,234 --> 00:17:32,992
You've not recovered, you've just moved
into another category of illness.

350
00:17:33,492 --> 00:17:36,442
Think about whether you need
to make this detour?

351
00:17:37,012 --> 00:17:41,262
After all, at its height, it's the same,
just removed from its normal location.

352
00:17:42,198 --> 00:17:45,408
Sectarians, forgive me
for such a comparison,

353
00:17:45,428 --> 00:17:47,948
I know that among you
there are many of my friends.

354
00:17:47,956 --> 00:17:50,153
I hope they'll not expose
my critical remarks.

355
00:17:50,154 --> 00:17:51,794
I'm a fitness coach and understand

356
00:17:51,794 --> 00:17:55,806
that, in a sense, I spit into the well
from which I myself drink.

357
00:17:55,806 --> 00:17:58,928
But I just want this well to be cleaner.

358
00:17:59,468 --> 00:18:02,098
I just want it to be less turbid.

359
00:18:02,218 --> 00:18:05,458
Sectarians, you already
have the main thing -

360
00:18:05,478 --> 00:18:09,758
a slender body that is beautiful,
that motivates and inspires.

361
00:18:09,974 --> 00:18:14,234
You are already chosen as a benchmark
for those who indulge and suffer.

362
00:18:14,254 --> 00:18:16,254
You have power and influence.

363
00:18:16,485 --> 00:18:21,285
So become a true example of the health
and integrity of a living cell.

364
00:18:21,975 --> 00:18:24,815
Healthy and slender people,
my last appeal goes to you.

365
00:18:24,834 --> 00:18:27,647
Most likely, you do not even know
that you are healthy.

366
00:18:28,045 --> 00:18:32,157
I personally know many healthy people
who caught the weight loss bug

367
00:18:32,157 --> 00:18:34,017
because those around them began to slim

368
00:18:34,017 --> 00:18:37,633
and they decided that it was not normal
to not think about eating so much.

369
00:18:37,670 --> 00:18:39,180
I have good news for you.

370
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,540
You are perfectly fine.

371
00:18:40,570 --> 00:18:41,780
You are healthy.

372
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,750
Remain an example to us all,

373
00:18:43,780 --> 00:18:45,450
well balanced, calm.

374
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,220
We will quietly watch you and learn.

375
00:18:49,938 --> 00:18:51,093
Thank you.

376
00:18:51,121 --> 00:18:53,241
(Applause)
