The host of the show “Wedding Size” told how being overweight can ruin a family.
On November 7, the third season of the program begins on the Domashny TV channel, in which the singer Anita Tsoi, nutritionist Ksenia Selezneva and fitness trainer Eduard Kanevsky help couples to return not only a slim figure, but also love and even passion into family life. On the eve of the premiere, the host of the show Anita Tsoi told Woman’s Day about how she herself fought for harmony.
– Is excess weight capable of destroying a family? Yes! I would never have believed it if it hadn’t been for a similar situation myself. I got married at 19, two years later gave birth to a son and recovered greatly, went over 110 kilograms. But to be honest, I didn’t notice that she had somehow changed or that she looked worse. It seemed to me that my husband loves me, everything is fine: the house is clean, tidied up, washed and ironed. However, the spouse increasingly began to stay at work. One meeting, another, a third … Since we women have incredible intuition, I felt that something was amiss. As a direct person, I decided to just ask my husband what happened. To which he answered in the same way on the forehead: “Did I marry such a woman? Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? ” To say that I was offended is to say nothing. I did not understand why I was humiliated. At the same time, my husband continued to say that if I lose weight, he will run after me, carry me in his arms … I went and told my mother and friends about my tragedy. But the more I spoke, the more I realized that even though close people are trying to support me, nothing changes in our relationship with my husband. I was smart enough to carefully reevaluate his words again. I decided to leave the grievances behind, go to the mirror and carefully examine myself. She closed all the doors in the room, curtained the windows, took off all her clothes and came to the terrible conclusion that she would not even go on a date with herself! Where is the athletic-build lighter my husband was courting? I was never thin, I did not have a waist, but at that moment there was just a pig in front of me. No manicure, no pedicure, something incomprehensible on the head. This is where my epiphany came. I realized that I shouldn’t be offended by my husband, I should thank him for the direct hint. Then I really took care of myself. Today we have been married for 27 years, and everything is fine.
Husbands bring their wives to our “Wedding Size”. I shake out of men the recognition that overweight spouses do not cause them any desire. We, women, always think that we are greeted by intelligence, by character, but in life everything is simple – we are greeted by clothes. And we must watch ourselves.
– Of course, the third season of the program will differ from the two previous ones, for that there was a production need. During our project, people lose a lot of weight, many of them begin to sag their skin. Women immediately notice how their face is changing. That is why we decided to introduce a plastic surgeon into the program! Plus, over the past two seasons, it became clear to me: psychological problems in families are so deep that professional help is needed here. Therefore, couples are consulted and guided by psychologists.
Often, our wards lose the first five to ten kilograms and return to old habits. And here the specialists of the program stand up like a mountain and try to return them to the right path. I myself faced this problem. It seems to you that you have already lost a lot of weight, nothing terrible will happen and in the end you will get back on the rails. Only we forget that, once yielding to our desires, it is very difficult to return.
Many participants are concerned about the salt-free diet. Low salt intake gives them an unpleasant sensation, everything does not taste good to them. It is also hard for those with a sweet tooth, who used to eat several chocolates a day. They had no idea how to live without them, but it turned out that everything is possible and real without sugar and salt. Of course, part of the difficulty, as always. connected with training, because when a coach is standing over you, especially one like our Edward, you have no chance of surviving! All these painful symptoms that accompany you in the hall, the next day seem completely unbearable … But in fact, all this is great. This means that you are alive and feel your body.
– I started losing weight a long time ago. I used to believe that you can lose weight one day and never gain any more, the main thing is to find the right magic method – a nutritionist, a pill. But as it turned out, we have genetic codes. And if your parents were chubby, big-boned big people, then this can also affect you. I lived the life of a balloon: I lost weight, gained weight, lost weight again and gained weight again. But at some point I managed to get used to eating fractionally, often and correctly, that is, to maintain the principles of separate nutrition. However, I ran into another problem. I will not bend my heart. You know that women have a transitional age, it begins after about forty-five years, some later, some earlier. I didn’t understand what was happening to me. I felt strange, I got tired quickly. I went to the doctor and they told me that I needed to restore hormones. Prescribed pills. I think most women go through this period in the same way as I do. I began to take these hormonal drugs and began to swell by leaps and bounds. That is, no matter how I kept the diet and all my diets, weight and volumes only increased. When you watch the new season of “Wedding Size”, you will see that I am not little there, not that Anita Tsoi. And the main thing is that by the end I get bigger and bigger! At first I was very worried, I even wanted to give up these pills, but I realized that I had to think about my health. And so the shooting of our show ended, literally two more months passed, the hormonal background was restored, and in a month and a half I had already lost six kilograms with the usual diet and physical exertion.
– I dream of the time when at last the models on the catwalks will be normal. Not thin or fat. When a plump woman comes out and demonstrates how to dress properly, walk and feel free, the feeling does not leave me that this model has not gotten rid of her complexes. She just doesn’t hide them, but together with the plus-size movement, which is supported by many designers, she takes a step against everyone. Friends, let’s be normal, the way nature created us, it seems to me that this is the most correct thing. I lost weight and up to 48 kilograms, I was just like a stick girl in 2005, but I realized that I still feel uncomfortable. Yes, I can wear any clothes, but I can’t sing and breathe. I was blown away by gusts of strong wind! It was not that Anita Tsoi, but someone else. My height is 157 centimeters, and my ideal weight is 60 kilograms. And I believe that it is women like us that need to be taken on the catwalks. There is no need to be like various fashion trends. It is clear that skinny beauties are printed in magazines, and on social networks, many of our stars have already grown thin to XXS sizes. But if you see them in reality, you will understand how scary it looks, especially without clothes. Do not rush to one extreme or another.

Competent weight loss is a whole cycle of procedures. It is clear that everyone has different financial capabilities, but the very minimum should include proper nutrition according to the regimen and training. Honestly, no matter what our Edik Kanevsky from “Wedding Size” says about how much he loves the gym, I feel awkward there, I start to feel claustrophobic. Moreover, it seems to me that when the weather is beautiful outside, it is simply a sin to study in the gym. Do you like to run? Run, dance, climb the playground with your child, run like crazy. Your enemy is the sofa. The most difficult thing is to tear off the butt from him.
When you know how many vegetables, fish, meat you will eat per day for lunch and dinner, then come to the store and very precisely buy exactly as much as you need. And don’t waste too much. We teach all this on our program. In everyday life, I don’t even always eat meat, only on special occasions, for example, when I’m cold. We do not live in the warmest region on earth. I can eat chicken, veal, lamb with pleasure. But not pork. And, of course, fish. Now the market sells a huge amount of lean fish, very tasty. For example, cod.
We train our participants to eat five to six times a day. Every two and a half hours. And in no case do we make you go hungry! Another thing that is imperative is drinking plenty of water. Nobody will convince me of this truth. I drink at least two liters of clean water a day. It takes out everything unnecessary from the body, including fats. But I try to drink until five in the evening, because if you do it closer to the night, then in the morning you will wake up with swelling.
How to deal with bouts of hunger? If you had dinner somewhere at seven in the evening, and closer to eleven at night you feel that you are dying as you want to eat, take a glass of hot water, add a couple of lemon slices, a teaspoon of honey and drink slowly. Literally in 10 minutes the hunger was gone.
