Video: Losing weight on a bet - is it real?

Today, all media are full of super diets and ways to lose weight, and girls almost all as one strive to get rid of extra pounds, even if they are not too noticeable to others. The author of "Cleo" Elena Timofeeva became interested not in newfangled diets, but in a seemingly simple, but not very common way of losing weight.
Once I came across an article-story on the Internet that the famous TV presenter Tatyana Arno argued with the equally famous TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak that she could lose 10 kilograms in a month. At first I laughed: "Really, like children!" Then she grinned: "What are they not ready to do celebrities in order to attract the attention of the general public!" Then she was indignant: firstly, I liked the feminine forms of Tatiana Arno BEFORE they were reduced in volume; and secondly, Ksenia Sobchak herself is not a standard of beauty to publicly ridicule someone else's appearance. And finally, I thought: how effective is it to lose weight on a bet? And is it easier to lose weight in this way, and not banal "not to eat", following the advice of the great Maya Plisetskaya and not particularly advertising that she herself is not delighted with her own figure?..
I will share the result of my thoughts with you. So, what are the advantages of losing weight on a bet over other methods and ways?
1. The motivation to lose weight is much stronger
If you are losing weight for a bet, there is always an interested - and even very interested - person in the result.
The effect of publicity is also triggered (such a dispute may have witnesses), and possible losses and even humiliation in the event of a loss, and a strong desire to win.
2. Control of the process from outside is provided
Not all of us have such a strong will to endure the hellish pangs of hunger or drive off a seventh sweat in the fitness room without any control from the outside, without praise or censure. And if you are losing weight for a bet, there is always an interested - and even very interested - person as a result.
Now what, in my opinion, are the disadvantages of this method over the rest?
1. The result does not linger for a long time, since you do not have and initially did not have a strong internal motivation to achieve it. Everything happened as if not by your will.
2. The health status of the disputant is not taken into account: in the heat of the dispute, either the bar is set too high (too many kilograms must be dropped), or the deadlines are unreasonably set (agree, losing 10 kilograms in a month can be dangerous to health).
Remembering the successful experience of losing weight on a dispute, received by the stars, we can formulate several tips for those who decide to lose weight in such an uncommon way:
1. Winning should really inspire you to accomplishments - and it doesn't matter if you get something material or shame the enemy-arguing
So, after losing the dispute, Ksenia Sobchak literally sang the willpower of Tatyana Arno, shot a video about this and posted it on the Internet.
Let neither the scope of weight loss, nor its timing harm your health and (which is important!) Psyche.
2. Losing should really scare you
In most cases, the "stick" is much stronger than the "carrot". The success of Tatiana Arno can be explained by the fact that she really did not want to publicly wash her car in a swimsuit and "shine" her "imperfect" forms on the Internet.
3. Bargain for reasonable terms
Let neither the scope of weight loss, nor its timing harm your health and (which is important!) Psyche.
4. Provide external control
My praises to Tatiana Arno, who regularly posted photos and videos of her workouts, diets and, most importantly, success on the Internet. So it could be controlled not only by the opposing side, but also by fans and the general public.
Well, it remains only to mention the personal experience of losing weight on a bet. Tired of my endless whining about the figure blurred after the first birth, my husband offered me to lose weight on a bet, and he was very generous: in case of loss, I just had to stop complaining about his life. But in the event of a win, I received a very pleasant material object as a gift (which, according to my information, was beyond the means of my husband at that time). I won the argument: I lost almost 10 kilograms in two and a half months. I didn’t demand the prize: there was more than enough joy from the fact that I returned to “pre-pregnant” forms and weight. So - taking into account the aforementioned tips - I recommend the method.
If you have tried other options without success, then argue with someone! In the end, what will you lose besides those extra pounds?
