Not sparing your belly

I stand in my underwear in front of the bedroom mirror and stare at my round belly. I see nothing good. Too bulging. Too soft. Horror. How do I fit into my new pants? Now, if you turn around and draw it all into yourself … There is no belly, as it were. And if that way - well, you can't stop breathing at all, here's the stomach - sticking out. No, hanging? Can not be! Tomorrow … No, today, right now, I will start fighting for beauty!

I found my favorite daddy, where I put all kinds of clippings and notes with useful tips. This habit of collecting all sorts of unnecessary pieces of paper came from our grandmother in our house. She was a real walking encyclopedia of all kinds of useful advice and especially exercise! Now-now, where is it written about the bellies here?

Of course, it's high time to join the company of my colleagues, who visit the fitness club with frenzied persistence, however, their results are not very impressive. Besides, I have to go so far there, not at all on the way … And I am not capable of such a feat alone, and even in the presence of unfamiliar witnesses in someone else's gym with boring fat aunts in the company. Better at home, when no one sees anything, I will jump rope, do push-ups from the floor and bend over a chair. How many times have I already tried to do this since Monday … Enough, now I'm going to try very hard. Goodbye to my favorite Turkish supermarket buns! How I will miss you …

So, I found it. First exercise:"

Go. Yes, lying stretched out on the floor is somehow even pleasant. I want to sleep. Maybe you shouldn't move at all. Now, I'll rip off the pillow from the sofa now … Oh, no, the pants are new! And ra-az …

Nothing, so far. Exercise two: "Lie on your back. (I'm already lying!), Stretch your arms up and put them on the floor. Then, making an energetic swing forward, sit down. Try not to lift your heels off the floor during the exercise. If at first it is difficult to do this, hook your feet on the edge of the sofa or cabinet. Slowly return to the starting position. Repeat the exercise 6-8 times."

Something I am not lying, probably, how to catch on to the sofa? Or maybe it's better to climb onto the sofa … It's so soft and comfortable … Remember your reflection in the mirror as soon as possible, so that the temptation will pass quickly! All the familiar ladies around are slender and fit, and you, dear, are belly forward. Something blows across the floor, it's cold. Well, okay, I'll quickly finish my exercises now, climb onto the sofa, there Leopold the cat stretched out so appetizingly. And ra-az …

Now, I already feel slimmer and prettier, honestly! I am so dexterous, light, just airy … For some reason, only the lower back aches a little. Exercise three: "Lie on your back, stretch your arms along your body, rest your palms on the floor, raise your legs vertically and perform movements as when riding a bicycle. After making several such movements, return to the starting position, and then repeat 8 times. Perform the exercise slowly. diligently straightening your legs together. " Ra-a-az … Four … No, I can't take it anymore, I'm tired. F-at … Pants are no longer a pity. I will make such inserts on the sides there - and nothing, even original. Six … You have to imagine something like that, inspiring. Here, I walk along the street, and the gentlemen are stacked …

By the way, for some reason, when I am getting well, men begin to pay close attention to me. Even too much. And when I lose weight, and I start to like myself in the mirror, then alas, all these ladies' men are like a cow with their tongue. Yes, such thoughts do not at all inspire enthusiasm. Seven … And why am I making fun of myself? Eight…

Fu, I’ll rest a little. Actually, this very figure with a round belly is our family tradition, inherited. And then why go against nature? A? A useless occupation. And why is a flat stomach nowadays considered a virtue? Well this is unfair! If you remember, for example, Marilyn Monroe - plump, tender, how soft the arms and legs! The tummy, I must say, is like a small pillow! A true woman. Why is it necessary to be a dry stick, sinewy, with muscle bumps instead of harmonious roundness? Who invented this?

I know, I know, this is all the machinations of the owners of the corporations in the beauty industry. They need to earn money on something. Moreover, a lot of money. So they dictate to us, women, the standards of beauty. And we, fools, fall for their publicity stunts, spoil our nerves. And why am I so dispersed?

Exercise four: "Lie on your back, straighten your shoulders, pull your arms slightly away from your body, rest your palms on the floor. Make a movement as if you are swimming breaststroke: legs pulled up to your stomach, knees apart, heels together. Perform the exercise slowly. Then sharply lower your legs down to floor and quickly join them together. Repeat the exercise 6-10 times. " Hurray, the last one. And … once … No, first!.. More energetic, more energetic! … Everything !!! Finally!!! Do you really need to do this on yourself every day? I don’t know, I don’t know, I’m probably deprived of some kind of athletic ability. The most creepy, most unloved and disgusting for me at school was always a physical education lesson. I, an excellent pupil, in physical education was always given a grade no higher than three.

Actually, I'm not fat at all. Normal. Only the belly … To remove it completely, you see, it will not work. Try some fancy nutritional supplements or pills? I've already tried it. So-so result. I thin out in outline - the chest becomes smaller and the stomach too, but it is still round and sticks out. My doctor, a specialist in traditional medicine, brought me Chinese tablets. Saw, sweated. She lost three years. Then she began to recover again. Yes, and I do not want to commit such violence over my body again.

Maybe try a wrap? And what's the point - an organism, the metabolic system will remain the same. So, you need to constantly rub yourself, wrap yourself, massage … And I don't have time for this. What to do?

I know. I need to remember all the women I know about my age, whose belly is thicker than mine. Well, that's how I remembered right away. Elina's friend, she was certainly out of luck. By the age of 29 - cesarean, pancreatic surgery, ovarian surgery. The whole belly is bumpy. Moreover, as the doctors said, she had very poor healing of stitches. The skin is such - disgustingly grows together. Doctors even made her special cosmetic stitches, sewn up very carefully. But all the same, everything turned out to be. Very unaesthetic. But a person with such a belly lives. And her husband is madly in love with her. The point is not at all about the size of the waist !!! And Lenka's friend is round as a ball, always cheerful, funny and charming. And men are always curling around. Although Lenka, of course, does not wear tight trousers, he is probably shy. So, the mood rises. Who else is there? Ah, Albina … She married an American. By the way, in order to lure him, I specially wore it under the skirt "for the figure" … what do you think? Believe it or not! Grandma's pink pantaloons with a fleece of Soviet production !!! These pants have been new for thirty years in the closet, with a label - 12 rubles 34 kopecks … And the American has taken a bite! Albinka was thin a year ago. And how did I put on these same leggings in winter - immediately the hips appeared so enticing … Today she is no longer thin, she recovered, and she no longer needs these trousers. I wonder what this American is feeding her?

It became fun and good. I'm sitting on the couch, eating chocolates for joy, squeezing my lazy cat Leopold, and that's what I'm thinking about. We women should wear our bellies with dignity. Because it is "a vessel not made by hands, into which heaven descended" - the words of the poet. It couldn't be better.
