▪️Avdotya knows everything about calories. She's up on deficits, macros, and could even give a lecture on metabolism. But when she needs to squeeze into her favorite dress, she pushes logic aside. Avdotya chooses to survive on kefir and buckwheat and walk 20K steps a day until she collapses from exhaustion.

She professionally tortures herself for a week, sheds 3 kg of water, and then it's business as usual. A relapse, a binge, and Avdotya is right back where she started. Only now with the added feeling that she's a "spineless nothing."

▪️Agafya is a successful woman, used to solving problems quickly.

She decided to get herself together and dove into healthy living headfirst. Mornings are for jogging. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are strictly clean eating. Evenings she squeezes in a gym session. She works out as if the Olympics are tomorrow.

She lasts a couple of weeks. Then her resources run out, and her nervous system says "goodbye."

"I'm sick of this self-improvement nonsense," Agafya thinks. No wonder: for her, it's a monumental feat she has no energy for.

▪️Then there's Antonina. She starts a new life on Monday. Her family, it turns out, does too. Though they didn't sign up for this.

Now her husband gets steamed chicken breast and broccoli instead of dumplings, and the kids get carrot sticks instead of cookies. How else? A new life means clearing out all the temptations so she doesn't fall off the wagon and loses weight faster.

Antonina spends enormous energy arguing with her husband, who's going crazy on steamed food, and convincing her kids that carrot sticks are just as good as candy.

After a week, her husband starts secretly eating shawarma in the car, the kids rebel, and Antonina herself gets tired of being a holy martyr. Dumplings and cookies return to the house, the system collapses, and with it the "new life."

All of the above are illustrations of the desire for quick results.

It's this desire that pushes you to take on more than you can handle. Because it seems that the harder you try, the faster the result (not true).

That's why you don't wait for the first results and give up. Hence the story: "I've tried everything, nothing works."

The key to success is consistency, not the amount of effort.

Weight loss doesn't happen in a week; it requires regular and consistent actions.

Don't lie to yourself that you'll run every morning or do exercises every morning from now until forever. You won't. And the disappointment from unmet expectations will definitely hit you.

What to do instead?
Choose manageable steps.

Maybe at the start, it's just five minutes of exercise a week. Five minutes of exercise done is better than an hour-long run not done.

In the "It Happened by Itself" club, that's exactly what we do. We take tasks so small that you definitely have the energy for them, even if work is crazy and the kids are bouncing off the walls.

For example, today a participant wrote about the results of a month dedicated to sleep: "I started sleeping better. I've wanted to fix my routine for a long time, and this immovable boulder finally budged."

In the club, we work on sleep, food, and incorporating physical activity.

When an action is manageable, you don't quit after three days. You keep doing it for a week, for a month. It's this continuity that ultimately brings results, not frantic bursts and heroic feats.

If you feel you're no longer ready to rely on restrictions and willpower, but you still want to lose weight, come to the club.

Access can be purchased for three or six months. Follow the link, to read the details and buy access.

In just three months, you can see the first results on the scale and realize: you can lose weight without violence against yourself.
