10 overweight fairy-tale heroes: recognize yourself in them

The robber from the “Bremen Town Musicians”

Male team, nervous work, “field conditions”. Here anyone will give up on themselves. No, of course, the robber remembered that she was a woman (she tied her hair in a ponytail, wore an earring), but she hadn’t followed the figure for a long time. And in vain! A woman ceases to be a woman when she forgets about herself.

Our advice. Work, difficult living conditions and conditions in which heels and tight-fitting dresses are in no way tempting … All these are just excuses! Believe me, there is no woman who would not want to catch the enthusiastic glances of men on herself (even if there are only robbers around). Therefore, devote at least 20 minutes a day to the entrance behind you: make masks, massage the “problem” areas with a hard mittens for a shower, exercise, and one day you will be surprised to see that from the Robber you become a Princess.

Mrs Kluvdia from DuckTales

Ponochka’s grandmother became the cook and nanny of Scrooge’s nephews. Over the years, she has become very corroded, and in fact she used to be the champion of Duckburg in swimming (she talks about this in the episode “Scrooge goes broke” before diving into the sea). Many athletes are familiar with the situation: he quit sports and recovered. This happens due to the fact that when an athlete is involved in sports, he spends a lot of calories. When a career ends and the number of workouts decreases, calories are not spent as quickly (and we eat just as much). As a result – problems with excess weight. So it happened with Mrs. Kluvdia …

Our advice. Don’t quit playing sports! Especially sharp. Let your workouts go into a lighter form (running, gymnastics). Also, do not forget to arrange fasting days.

With age, metabolism slows down, and weight gain (if portions remain the same) will occur much faster. A good example – Khavronya from “Well, wait a minute!”. She also believed that being overweight is a natural phenomenon for her age and genetic characteristics, she resigned herself to this and lay all day on the beach, and in 4 swimsuits at once.

Our advice. If you started gaining weight quickly after 40, then contact a specialist (endocrinologist) who will do the tests and will be able to tell why this is happening: you are gaining weight due to a change in hormonal background or due to improper nutrition. However, it will not be superfluous to exclude fatty, sweet and starchy foods from the daily menu. Better to do yoga or gymnastics. But heavy physical activity is contraindicated! The main thing – do not despair and do not be depressed! A woman is beautiful at any age!

Hippo Gloria from Madagascar

The biggest excuse for overweight people is, “My bone is heavy.” Gloria from the famous cartoon thought so. Lush shapes and roundness even gave it a certain charm. BUT! For some reason, no one thought about health and a huge load on the body. But the heart of the hippopotamus worked in an emergency mode, and the joints were in constant tension, which would eventually lead to early diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Our advice. Stop thinking that your excess weight is a genetic predisposition. Review your diet, enter fractional meals (4-5 meals per day), start doing light sports (walking in the evening, jogging in the morning). Remember – health is our everything! Take care of it when you are young!

Tsarevich from the fairy tale “Barbara-Beauty”

Perhaps everyone is familiar with the situation when grandmothers try to express their love with the amount of food prepared for the child. Moreover, as a rule, this food is unhealthy and high-calorie (pies, buns). In childhood, weight problems are not so noticeable, but the child grows up, and still eats the same! So it happened with the Tsarevich from the fairy tale “Barbara-Beauty”: his mothers and nannies fed him to size XXL. How to be?

Our advice. Do not go hungry when you are hungry, you may consume more calories than your body needs. Cut portions in half. Nutritionists advise to eat as much as fits in the palm of your hand. Arrange a fasting day after “grandmother’s pies”, easily digestible food is suitable for this: kefir, buckwheat, mineral water without gas … And forget your grandmother’s postulates: “Eat for your mother, for your father, for your uncle.” Eat for yourself only!

This plump character is familiar to everyone since childhood. Winnie the Pooh loved tasty, and most importantly, sweet food not only at home, but also at a party (for example, at the Rabbit’s), which at one point led to an incident. Winnie just got stuck …

Our advice. Don’t go hungry! Some people mistakenly believe that if they get hungry during the day, then they can afford too much at the festive table. This is wrong! A hungry person, having seized food, necessarily loses control and begins to overeat. Snack on a light salad, and overeating (as well as extra pounds) will not threaten you.

Cat from the cartoon about the parrot Kesha

He is remembered for the famous phrase: “Tahiti, Tahiti, we are well fed here too.” The fat, well-groomed cat did not want to move at all, lay on the porch all day, dozing or devouring various goodies. Improper diet and lack of exercise ultimately led to overweight. Agree, many of us can recognize ourselves in a cat (especially when we are on sick leave or “relaxing” on vacation). What can you do in order not to gain extra pounds on vacation?

Remember what she was like? That’s right, angry and irritable! Moreover, she constantly seized up her anger and worries. This same problem – “stress seizing” – is familiar to many women.

Our advice. Disconnect from the problem, take a walk down the street, go to the cinema, to the pool. If it is completely impossible to cope with the feeling of hunger, then it is better to replace all high-calorie foods with lighter ones: vegetables, fruits, cereals. It will be better if you eat a kilogram of cucumbers, not a kilogram of candy. Believe me, the problem that worries you so much will be solved sooner or later, but the kilograms will remain!

The sweetest woman. Didn’t do anything bad to anyone. I just came home, cooked dinner, turned on the TV and ate, ate, ate. Often not even noticing while watching an interesting program “about holding” how many buns I ate.

Our advice. Remember! Most of the calories eaten while watching an evening show are stored in problem areas and then displayed on the scales. Replace high-calorie foods (sandwiches, chips, nuts) with simpler and lighter foods (fruits, berries). Drink plenty of fluids (herbal tea, water). Try disconnecting from the TV and chatting with your husband, and while eating, think about food, throwing everything else out of your head.

The main mistake of any married woman is “the husband will not go anywhere” or “he loves me like that”. So Fiona thought the same way, moreover, Shrek constantly convinced that she was already beautiful and that they were … very similar. Therefore, over time, the green princess forgot that she was once completely different. Unfortunately, the same happens in life: when a woman gets married, she stops caring for herself, and the birth of a child often does not give either time or energy for this. How to get out of the situation?

Our advice. Share the responsibilities of the child with your husband, let him work with him on the weekend, and in your free time you can do your appearance or visit the gym. Normalize your diet. It so happens that a woman does not have time to fully eat, and constant snacks or meals once a day are sadly reflected in the figure. Do not listen to your husband, who says that he “loves appetizing forms.” Improve for yourself!
