Want to change the world - start with yourself


Women are constantly experimenting with their appearance. Someone thinks that this is in our blood, and someone says that this is an excellent psychotherapy in difficult situations. But we know that in the change of appearance lies something more. No wonder the great wise people said: "You want to change the world - start with yourself." After all, changing the external, we mysteriously change the "inside". Yes, yes, even changing hair color can change fate at times! Do not believe those? Read the real stories of four real women.

Towards a childhood dream

Anna's story is interesting because the girl not only defeated her own weight, but managed to realize one more her cherished dream - she became a master of sports in equestrian sport. And it all began with the fact that two-year-old Anechka in the park was put on a pony. Since then, she spoke only about horses, she only played with plush and wooden horses, and in the future she dreamed of becoming only a rider. At the age of five, the girl was given to a pony club, where her enthusiasm for horses manifested itself in an ideal landing in the saddle and the ability to control these far from meek animals. At the age of 8 Ana submitted even to the stubborn stallion Barkas, who did not admit anyone, and only a little girl could earn his trust. After 2 years, Anya and Barkas won their first ever competition. It seemed that Anna's future was determined definitively, but after 12 years, unexpectedly for everyone, Anya began to recover rapidly, and the extra weight for a rider is a disaster. And years of endless struggle against excess weight have begun. Following the advice of her mother, who believed that the best way to lose weight - a periodic hunger strike, Anya could not eat until 5-6 days, dumped several kilograms, and then again recruited everything, only in an accelerated mode and in a double size. By the age of 17, Anna not only could not continue equestrian sports, but she also struggled with difficulty. After all, with an increase of 165 cm, she weighed 95 kg! Despite this, Anya continued to come to the stable, looked after her beloved Barkas and fed him a carrot. He still did not let anyone in, except for Anna. But once in the equestrian club there was a girl who found an approach to this obstinate animal. "Betrayal" of the beloved horse was for Ani a real blow. After several months of tears and prolonged depression she still decided to regain her former form and turned to a specialist. After 2 years, Anna, 23, weighed 55 kg. And I was able to return to my favorite pastime! And after 2 goals, Anna was awarded the long-awaited title of Master of Sports.

COMMENTARY OF THE SPECIALIST: Dietitian of the Center for Aesthetic and Rehabilitation Medicine "Emerald" Marianna TRIFONOVA

If we talk about fatal changes in the life of my patients, then after the program of weight correction they are always there. First of all, the state of health improves, perhaps, this is the most important. In addition, by parting with extra pounds, a woman gets an opportunity to reduce her passport age by 5-6 years - lean women look much younger. This, of course, can not but rejoice, and a positive person attracts such positive people and exceptionally positive events. On the rise of their physical and emotional possibilities, as a rule, everything turns out, and it is during such periods that fateful changes often take place with us. But after all, in fact, we do it with our own hands, but we often do not think about it and attribute it to a certain phantom. So any external changes for better women are always only beneficial. The only thing that I always warn my patients against is to avoid false motivations whenever possible. Many women lose weight only in order to return a husband or get a new job. But after all, weight correction does not give any guarantee that you will achieve your goals. So change, but above all only for yourself, to improve your own health and emotional state!

WHAT FOR SUCH CHANGES:

1. Consult with a nutritionist.

2. Develop your own nutrition and exercise program. A huge selection of diets is on the Internet on various sites.

3. To be reserved by persistence and will power.

4. Minimal financial investments - you can do exercises at home, and healthy food is not always expensive

Nose to order

It is generally accepted that plastic surgery today in Russia is just a fashion. But for Veronica, plastic was more a necessity, because her original appearance became a serious obstacle in the professional field. In childhood, Veronica did not interfere with any asymmetrical spout "dentition", nor thin lips - she believed that unlike others, it stands out from the crowd. At a more mature age it became obvious that young men prefer girls of "traditional" appearance. But also this Veronica did not depress: "There was not yet that man who will appreciate me." And while her friends ran on dates, she devoted free time to education. At the end of the institute Veronica had a red diploma, fluent in three foreign languages ​​and saw herself as a press secretary for one major information company. Imagine her surprise when the employer offered her not at all what she was counting on ... The indignant girl demanded to explain on what grounds she was refused. Veronica showed her a video test. The merciless chamber made the prominent nose even more vague, and turned the lips into a thin, barely noticeable thread. The level of claims for a career Veronica did not intend to change, so she decided to change her appearance. A week later she was sitting in the office of a plastic surgeon and carefully selected her new face. Naturally, the changes in her fate began not at once. For a very long time, Veronica has become accustomed to a new appearance. It turned out that wearing someone else's nose, even if it's an ideal shape, like your own, is not such an easy task! But now Veronica is sure that she did not in vain decide to have surgery: she is the face of a well-known company, beloved wife and mother of two children. To her husband she has not yet told about the operation, although sometimes she thinks about whether he would have paid attention to that former Veronica ...

COMMENTARY SPECIALIST: surgeon, professor of the Department of Cosmetology and Reconstructive Surgery RMAPO Vera Ivanovna MALAKHOVSKAYA

It makes no sense to say that what a person looks like does not have any significance at all. Especially it concerns women! For us, it is very important to react to our external appearance, emotional feedback. Correcting something in her appearance, a woman begins to like herself more, to love herself, she feels the power to change the world! From my personal practice I can say that the most crucial changes are breast enlargement and correction of age changes in face and figure. As a rule, such transformations affect first of all the private life. And some women, thanks to their investments (both material and emotional) in their appearance, finally realize their true worth. Becoming in some way maximalists, they achieve much more than they could do in their former guises.

WHAT FOR SUCH CHANGES:

1. Go to a specialist and see if you really need to change something or it's your fantasy.

2. To communicate with professionals and like-minded people to choose the best specialist.

3. Prepare for surgery: save money, take a vacation, tune in for a long period of rehabilitation.

4. Think about how you will live with a new appearance and explain its change to others.

The magic of the redhead

It is quite difficult to imagine a successful designer and popular TV presenter Tasha Stroguy with a different hair color, rather than bright red. However, 4,5 years ago Tasha was ... a blonde (this is her natural hair color), although she had long been thinking about repainting her hair in red. She was always disturbed by the stereotype of the perception of blondes. Capriciousness, mannerism, excessive coquetry - all this Tasha was not peculiar at all. She always felt motivated, active, and loved to be in the spotlight. Finally, the correct shade was chosen, and Tasha went to the hairdresser. At first the result of her own transformation was shocking. On the way home it seemed to her that the whole street, the whole district was looking only at her. A stormy reaction waited for Tasha from relatives, all those who knew her about 25 years and perceived only with light brown hair. "Why did you do that? "They asked each other. And only time proved that such cardinal changes were far from in vain. -Yasha began her career as a TV presenter. Six months later, she was the first to pass a casting in the program "Remove this immediately," and now she successfully continues her endeavors in the "Collection of Ideas" program. Final recognition of her wonderful metamorphosis Tasha received from her 80-year-old grandmother, who more than three years later finally confessed: "Tasha, I do not understand how you could be a blonde at all? You're a born redhead! "

"Very often," says Tasha, "thanks to the external transformation, it is possible to achieve the true harmony of the soul and body, as happened in my situation. After all, because of my internal state, I was always a redhead! "

COMMENTARY SPECIALIST: art director of the network of salons "SP-studio" Pavel Samodurov

Any external change, whether it's a new hairstyle, an original make-up or an original suit, is exactly what people pay attention to first. Therefore, if you want to change yourself, to be looked at as a new person, you need to start with this. As a rule, it is not limited to external changes. Seeing the updated reflection in the mirror, you change the attitude to yourself. And, you know what? Be sure to pay attention to the person who helps you change! I have an amazing story about how a visit to the salon completely changed the fate of one girl. For a long time Galya wore long hair, did not make complicated hairstyles, and went to the salons very seldom. But one day, yielding to the enthusiastic stories of a friend, Galina decided to go to her master. On the eve of her birthday she repainted and cut her hair. The hairstyle was beyond praise, and Galina paid attention to the master, who could please her taste. Then she came to him again. once again. After a while, after a series of regular visits to the salon, Galina became ... his wife. But that's not all! She changed her profession and now works in the beauty industry, being a partner of her husband in business! Incredible, but I know it's true. Because the heroine of this story is my wife!

WHAT FOR SUCH CHANGES:

1. Feel what exactly you want to change in your hair - what will be yours, what's not yours. You can even "try on" different variants of haircuts with the help of a special computer program.

2. Find a really good master - talk to your friends, surf the Internet and read reviews about different salons and stylists.

3. To take with you a lot of money - perhaps you will enter into the taste and do not stop on shyness "just the tips to straighten out."

Queen car wash

Changing the appearance for most of us is a game. But for some it's an opportunity for the first time to feel like a woman. So it happened with Svetlana, which the lucky event brought to the transfer "Take it off immediately." She, like many others, came from the village to conquer the capital, but could only get settled by a washer on a 24-hour car wash. And after a while and at all moved there to live - relatives did not long tolerate a village relative. In such tough conditions Svetlana completely forgot that she was a woman. Therefore, at the first meeting of Sasha Vertinskaya and Tasha Strogoy with the new heroine, the presenters were simply shocked: the 32-year-old Svetlana looked at all 50! Cleverly selected wardrobe, light make-up and fashionable hairstyle completely transformed Svetlana. For the first time in her life she saw in the mirror a young attractive woman. A year later, her fate changed by 360 degrees. Sveta changed jobs, she had a man. Perhaps, for someone it's only small female joys, but for Svetlana they became the beginning of a new page in her life.

COMMENTARY SPECIALIST: designer and TV host Tasha STRICT

Svetlana, like many other participants in our program, a woman with a difficult fate and universal longing in her eyes. She was so disliked and disrespected that she was grateful to us already for the fact that we just paid attention to her. With fairly good external data, she led a life that is absolutely not characteristic of a woman of any social status. She did not have an established wardrobe, she did not know how to take care of herself, so we had to teach her all simple female wisdom. Fortunately, this really changed the life of Svetlana. But it did not happen with all our heroines. We tried to keep track of the life of our players after the program. As a result, we found out that 60% of women support their new image, 20% are in search, experimenting with their image to this day. And 20% returned to their old life. How can this be explained? I have only one explanation - LAZER! After all, to maintain the image it is necessary to work. As they say "I want to change the world - start with yourself." If you were lucky enough to be born a woman, forget forever about the phrase "Let me be perceived as I am." Love yourself and change your health!

WHAT FOR SUCH CHANGES:

1. Identify your type of figure and clothing patterns that will advantageously emphasize your dignity.

2. Find a girlfriend with good taste or a professional stylist - you need a look from the outside.

3. Reserve a fairly large amount of money. One thing for a complete change of image will not be enough.

4. Find the right time and place for shopping. It's such a thing that haste is inappropriate here.
