Bengifuna ukunciphisa umzimba futhi ngithole ukuzethemba. Esikhundleni salokho, ngashiya ababheki besisindo ngiphethe isihluthulelo kanye nenkinga yokudla.

Ngesonto eledlule, Ababheki Besisindo (manje esaziwa njenge-WW) bethule iKurbo yiWW, uhlelo lokusebenza lokwehlisa isisindo olwenzelwe izingane ezineminyaka engu-8 kuya kwengu-17 ubudala. Encwadini yabezindaba ephuma kulo mkhiqizo, uJoanna Strober, ongumsunguli we-Kurbo, uchaza uhlelo lokusebenza ngokuthi "lwenzelwe ukuba lula, lube mnandi futhi lusebenze ngempumelelo."

Njengomuntu omdala owaqala Ababheki Besisindo eneminyaka engu-12, ngiyakutshela ukuthi akukho lutho olulula noma olumnandi mayelana nenkinga yokudla engakhula nayo - nokuthi ngisaselashwa cishe iminyaka engama-20 kamuva.

Ngangineminyaka engu-7 ubudala lapho ngiqala ukwazi ukuthi umzimba wami awuthathwa njengemukelekile ngokwezindinganiso zomphakathi.

Ngikhumbula ngifunda ukuthi iminyaka yakho nosayizi wakho kwakufanele kube yinombolo efanayo, futhi ngikhumbula ngokugqamile ukugqoka ijean ngaphandle kokukhipha isitika se- “size 12”.

Lo mzuzu lapho ngineminyaka engu-7 uyanamathela ngoba ngisabuzwa ubumayemaye bentshontsha engifunda nabo ekilasini lapho bekhomba umaki futhi beshaya amakhala.

Engikuqondayo manje - ebengingakwazi impela ngaleso sikhathi - ukuthi umzimba wami wawungeyona neze inkinga.

Umphakathi ositshela ukuthi impilo nokuphila kahle kungachazwa endaweni yonke ngokusekelwe ezinombolweni zeshadi ngaphandle kokucatshangelwa kobunjalo kuyinkinga. Futhi umphakathi ozonda imizimba "enonile" ngenxa nje ekhona awusizi futhi.

Ngiseyingane, engangikwazi nje ukuthi ngangifuna ukuyeka ukugconwa. Bengifuna izingane ziyeke ukuphonsa ushungamu ezinweleni zami emawindini ebhasi. Bengifuna izingane ziyeke ukungitshela ukuthi ngingadli enye i-brownie.

Ngangifuna ukubukeka njengabo bonke abanye abantu. Isixazululo sami? Ukuncipha emsimbeni.

Angizelanga ngalokhu ngedwa. Ngaso sonke isikhathi, ukwehla kwesisindo kwakuthathwa njengendlela eya enjabulweni futhi ngangikudla lokho kulala ngqo.

Amabhizinisi atshala imali eningi yamadola wokumaketha ekuqhubekiseleni phambili umqondo wokuthi ukwehla kwesisindo kufana nenjabulo. Le nkolelo igcina imboni yokunciphisa isisindo ebhizinisini.

IMarketResearch.com ilinganisela ukuthi ingqikithi yemakethe yokunciphisa isisindo yase-US ikhule ngamaphesenti ayi-4.1 ngo-2018 isuka ku- $ 69.8 billion yaya ku- $ 72.7 billion.

Inkolelo yokuthi ukudla okunomsoco kusebenza kahle kugcina imboni yokwehlisa isisindo ebhizinisini - kepha iqiniso lidweba isithombe esihlukile.

Umuntu wabantu abadala oneminyaka engama-20-45 ukhombisile ukuthi esikhathini esiyiminyaka engu-3, ​​amaphesenti ama-4.6 kuphela wabahlanganyeli anciphise isisindo futhi awaphindanga azuza.

Ngo-2016, abacwaningi abalandela ababencintisana nabo be- “Biggest Loser” bathola ukuthi uma isisindo somdlali esinciphile alahlekelwa yisisindo esincane, umzimba wabo uyehla.

Ababukeli besisindo ingumuntu oyedwa omkhulu emshinini wemboni yokudla. Uhlelo lokusebenza lumahhala kepha bakhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwesici sohlelo lokusebenza lokubonisana, insiza engu- $ 69 ngenyanga ehlanganisa ingane "nomqeqeshi" oxoxa nabo ngevidiyo kanye ngeviki imizuzu eyi-15.

I-WW ayikho mayelana nenhlalakahle noma impilo; kumayelana nomugqa ophansi

Iminyaka Eyinkulungwane manje isibhekwa “njengesizukulwane esizayo se-dieters.”

Kusho ukuthini lokhu? Ama-Millennials manje angabazali bezingane ezincane futhi omncane lapho uthinta umuntu enkambisweni yokudla, lapho ungathatha imali yakhe isikhathi eside.

Abaqaphi besisindo manje sebebizwa ngeWW. Imihlangano yamasonto onke engama-30 ithathelwe indawo yimizuzu eyi-15 yokuqeqesha ebonakalayo. Esikhundleni sokunikeza amanani wamaphoyinti ekudleni, uKurbo uhlukanisa ukudla njengokubomvu, okuphuzi, noma okuluhlaza.

Ukupakishwa kwalo mlayezo kungenzeka kushintshile, kepha kumongo wayo uKurbo ugqugquzela lokho abaQaphi be-Weight abenakho njalo: ukudla kunenani lesimilo.

"U-WW uchaze uhlelo lokusebenza 'njengethuluzi eliphelele,' hhayi ukudla, kepha indlela elibhalwe ngayo ayiguquli umthelela ongaba nawo kubasebenzisi bayo," kubhala usolwazi wezokudla obhalisiwe uChristy Harrison.

“Izinhlelo ezinjengalezi ziyindawo evundile yokudla okungaphazanyisiwe, zikhuthaza izingane ukuthi zilandelele lokho ezikudlayo zisebenzisa uhlelo 'lwerobhothi' oluhlukanisa ukudla ngezigaba ezibomvu, eziphuzi, neziluhlaza, okufaka ngokuphelele okunye ukudla njengokukuhle 'okunye kuthi' kubi , '”Kuqhuba yena.

Ngenkathi ngiqala Ababheki Besisindo ngineminyaka engu-12, ngangineminyaka engu-5'1 ”futhi ngigqoka usayizi wabesifazane u-16.

Imihlangano yamasonto onke yayiqukethe ikakhulukazi abesifazane abaneminyaka ephakathi, kepha isipiliyoni sami ngisemncane kuma-Weight Watchers ngokuqinisekile asihlukile.

Abaqaphi Besisindo engangikhona ngaleso sikhathi kwakuwuhlelo lwamaphuzu, olunikeza amanani ezinombolo ekudleni okususelwa kusayizi wengxenye, ama-calories, i-fiber, namafutha. Bekufanele ugcine iphephabhuku lansuku zonke lakho konke okudlile nenani lephuzu.

Imantra ‘uma uyiluma, uyayibhala’ yayiphindaphindwa yonke imihlangano.

Wabelwe isamba samaphoyinti okufanele usidle usuku ngalunye ngokuya ngesisindo nobulili. Ngikhumbula ngokusobala othile engitshela ukuthi ngithola amaphuzu awengeziwe ama-2 ngosuku ngoba bengingaphansi kweminyaka engu-15 futhi umzimba wami ubusakhula.

Ngicabanga ukuthi bekufanele ngisebenzise lawo maphuzu ama-2 ukuphuza ingilazi yobisi usuku ngalunye, kepha impela akekho owake wabona ukuthi angikaze ngikwenze lokho.

Konke okwenziwa noma ngubani kwabakwa-Weight Watchers abake bakuqaphela noma abakhathalelayo kwakuyinombolo esikalini.

Isonto ngalinye isisindo sami sehla kodwa hhayi ngoba ngangidla izithelo nemifino eningi. Ngangicabange ukuthi ngingaphumelela kanjani ngamazinga wabaQaphi Besisindo ngaphandle kokushintsha kakhulu engikudlile.

Ngenxa yokuthi ngangingafuni abangani bami esikoleni bazi ukuthi ngikwi-Weight Watchers, ngangibamba ngekhanda amanani wephuzu walokho engangikuthanda ukukudla ngesidlo sasemini.

Bengine-oda elincane lamafriji wesidlo sasemini cishe njalo ngosuku ngalunye ebengikulabo Ababheka Isisindo. Kwakungamaphuzu ayi-6. Ngishintshe i-coke ejwayelekile ye-coke yokudla ebingamaphoyinti angama-zero.

Angifundanga lutho ngokudla ngaphezu kwamaphuzu amangaki. Impilo yami yaba yisifiso sokubala amaphuzu.

Abaqaphi besisindo babenendlela yokubala ukuzivocavoca ngamaphuzu ongawadla. Yenza ukuzivocavoca okuncane imizuzu engama-45 futhi ungadla amaphuzu angu-2 ngaphezulu (noma into enjalo).

Nganginokuhlukumezeka okuningi ngokuzungeza ngakho ngigxile kuphela ekudleni inani lamaphuzu engilinikiwe. Ngokufana namafriji ansuku zonke engangena kuwo kugazini wami, akekho owayebonakala ephawula ukuthi angikaze ngenze noma yiluphi uhlobo lokuzivocavoca. Ngokusobala babengenandaba. Ngangincipha.

Njalo ngesonto njengoba ngangincipha ngokwengeziwe, iqembu lalingijabulela. Banikeze izikhonkwane nezitika okuncike kuphela kumakhilogremu alahlekile. Banikeza wonke umuntu isisindo somgomo ngokususelwa kubude bawo. Ku-5'1 ", isisindo sami somgomo sasiphakathi kwamakhilogremu angama-98 kuye kwangama-105.

Ngisho nangaleso sikhathi, ngangazi ukuthi lelo banga lalingelona iqiniso kimi.

Ngabuza abaholi bami babaQaphi Besisindo uma ngikwazi ukushintsha ukuthi isisindo somgomo wami kufanele sibe yini. Ngemuva kwakho konke, bengifuna umklomelo wokugcina wabaqaphi besisindo: Ubulungu besikhathi sonke.

Ngabe ubulungu be-Lifetime buhlanganisani? Isihluthulelo nokhiye wokuza emihlanganweni mahhala inqobo nje uma ungaphakathi OKUBILI amakhilogremu wesisindo sakho somgomo. Khumbula ukuthi isisindo somuntu omdala esijwayelekile sishintsha size sifike kumakhilogremu ama-5 noma ama-6 ngosuku.

Ngombhalo ovela kudokotela wami wezingane, Ababheki Besisindo bangivumele ukuthi ngenze isisindo sami somgomo sakhipha amakhilogremu ayi-130. Kuthathe amasonto ukuzuza nokulahlekelwa kimi ukufinyelela kuleso sisindo.

Umzimba wami ungilwe futhi ngenqaba ukulalela

Ngiqhubekile nokubala ngamaphoyinti asebhange ngentshiseko. Lapho ekugcineni ngifinyelela isisindo somgomo wami, ngenza inkulumo encane futhi ngathola ukhiye wami we-Lifetime Ubulungu.

Angikaze ngilinganise amakhilogremu ayi-130 (noma ngisho phakathi kwamakhilogremu amabili kwalokho) futhi.

Ngangikholelwa ngokweqiniso ukuthi ukwehlisa isisindo kwakuyimpendulo kuzo zonke izinkinga zami, futhi lapho ngifika kuleso sisindo somgomo, akukho lutho empilweni yami olwalushintshe kakhulu ngaphandle kokubukeka kwami. Ngangisazizonda.

Eqinisweni, ngangizizonda kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili. Ngase ngifinyelele isisindo sami somgomo kodwa ngangazi ukuthi angisoze ngafinyelela kumakhilogremu angama-98 kuye kwangama-105 wona (Abaqaphi Besisindo nomphakathi) ababefuna ngibe yilawo.

Uma ngibheka emuva ezithombeni zami ngaleso sikhathi, ngibona ngokusobala ukungazethembi kwami. Izingalo zami bezihlala ziwela ukufihla isisu sami namahlombe ami ahlala edonswa angene ngaphakathi. Bengizifihla.

Sengiyabona manje ukuthi bengigula kanjani.

Ubuso bami babudangele. Izinwele zami ezake zakhula zajiya zawa. Ukuthungwa ngokuphelele kwezinwele zami kushintshile futhi akukaze kubuye. Ngisazizwa ngingavikelekile ngezinwele zami kuze kube namuhla.

Ngokuhamba kweminyaka eyi-10, ngithole sonke isisindo ebengisilahlile emuva kwalandela esinye. Ngiqhubekile nokubuyela kubabheki besisindo njalo eminyakeni embalwa ngaze ngathola ubuhle bomzimba nokwamukelwa kwamafutha eminyakeni yami yokuqala engama-20.

Umqondo wokuthi ngingajabula emzimbeni ukuthi sengishintshe impilo yami. Angibange ngisathenga emangeni okuthi ukunciphisa umzimba kuzongenza ngijabule. Nganginobufakazi bami okwakungeyona leyo nto.

Ngathola nokuthi nginenkinga yokudla engalashwa.

Eminyakeni eminingi ngemuva komhlangano wami wokuqala wabaQaphi Besisindo, ngangisabheka ukudla hhayi njengophethiloli, kodwa njengomvuzo. Ngazihlukanisa ngenkathi ngidla ukuze ngidle kakhulu. Uma ngangidla kakhulu, ngangingalungile. Uma ngeqa ukudla, bengilungile.

Umonakalo owenziwe ebuhlotsheni bami nokudla ngisemncane kangaka ushiye umthelela ohlala njalo.

Noma ngosizo lwesazi sokudla okunomsoco kanye nodokotela ukuze afunde ukudla ngokunembile, ulwazi lwezeMpilo kuwo wonke Usayizi, neminyaka yokusebenza ngaphakathi kwenhlangano yokwamukela amafutha, ukungafundi lokho Ababheki Besisindo abebegxilile kimi bekungelula.

Inhliziyo yami idabukela isizukulwane esilandelayo sezingane manje ezinokufinyelela okulula ngisho nakakhulu kulo mlayezo oyingozi.

Esikhundleni sokutshela izingane ukuthi ukudla kungamalambu abomvu, ngiyanxusa abazali ukuthi bathathe indlela eyenziwe ngezifiso, engathathi hlangothi ezinganeni zabo.

Buza ukuthi ukudla kubenza bazizwe kanjani futhi ngani badla abakudlayo. Zijwayeze ukucabanga futhi ufune iMpilo yasendaweni kuzinsizakusebenza Zobukhulu Bonke.

Angimsoli umama wami ngokungiyisa kubaQaphi Besisindo. Angibasoli abaholi emihlanganweni ngokugubha ukwehla kwesisindo sami ngaphandle kokubheka ukuthi bekwenzeka kanjani. Angisoli ngisho nodokotela wami wezingane owasayina incwadi yami yesisindo segoli.

Ngisola umphakathi obheka ubuncane njengomklomelo unilaterally.

Kuthina sonke ukusiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isizukulwane esilandelayo sezingane asigcini nje ngokuba nobudlelwano obuhle nokudla, kepha asikhuli emphakathini ocwilisa imizimba yamafutha.
