Gore rega rega, vakadzi vanosvika makumi maviri neshanu vanoungana mangwanani pakubuda kwezuva kuti vafambe kweawa. Wekunze anoona kuungana uku haaizoziva kuti chii chinosunga amai vatatu vevana vaviri kubva kuLos Angeles nachiremba wepfungwa wekuKansas kana murairidzi wekugwinya kubva kuBaltimore.

Zvakadaro, kubva muna 1996, boka iri revakadzi vanobva kumativi ese eAmerica vakatumira nharembozha nemae-mail, vakatsvoda vadiwa vavo zvakanaka, ndokubuda kunze kweguta kunobvisa pfungwa nemwoyo yavo kwemazuva mana paShape's Body Confident (yaimbozivikanwa kare. seMuviri Wakanaka) chirongwa. Chinangwa chemazuva mana? Kugonesa vakadzi kushandura yavo miviri mifananidzo.

Yakatangwa muna1996, Shape's Body Confident inotenderera nemanzwiro evakadzi nezve ivo nemiviri yavo uye kuti vangasimudzire sei iwo manzwiro. Zuva chairo rinosanganisira hurukuro dzekudyidzana pamusoro pemitezo yemuviri inoenderana nemifananidzo, kurovedza muviri (kubva pakutenderera kuenda mukukwira kuenda kuyoga), kudzidza nzira dzekuzorora, uye kuteerera kunevatauri pamisoro yakadai senge dzepabonde, kudya kunovaka muviri uye kugwinya.

Mangwanani anotanga neboka kufamba kana kuwedzerwa kukwira. Vatori vechikamu vanobva vasangana kuti vaite hurukuro yeboka inotungamirwa nenyanzvi yezvepfungwa uye nyanzvi yemufananidzo wemuviri Ann Kearney-Cooke, Ph.D., director weCincinnati Psychiatric Institute. Vazhinji vakapedza kudzidza vanoti vanowana kubatana uye kuvhurika kwakagoverwa nevakadzi vakasangana nehondo dzemuviri dzakafanana chikamu chakakosha chechirongwa. Vakadzi vanorondedzera manzwiro kubva pakunyara, mhosva uye kutsamwa kune tariro, mufaro uye kuzvigamuchira.

Nekuti zviitiko zvevakadzi zvinofambisa mutambo kubva kune aimbove neanorexia kuenda kune yekumanikidza maekisesaizi kana kudyisa zvakapfurikidza, munhu wese anogona kuwirirana nemumwe munhu muboka. Uye nekukurudzira yega kunyora zvinyorwa, kuona uye kukurukurirana kweboka, Kearney-Cooke anobatsira vakadzi ava kuti vaone nzvimbo dzavanonetsekana uye voongorora hunhu hunosimudzira kusaremekedza miviri yavo. Anopawo nhanho-ne-nhanho nzira yekudhirowazve ine hutano chimiro chemuviri icho vatori vechikamu vanogona kuenda kumba.

Muviri Unovimba unoshanda here? Uyu mubvunzo ungangove wakanyatsopindurwa nevakadzi vadzoka kwemakore. Sezvauchaona nekuverenga zvimwe zvezvipupuriro zvine simba zvevaalumum, dambudziko chairo ravanotarisana naro rinodzika kupfuura miviri yavo. Icho chinetso ndechekunzwa zvirinani nezve ivo zvavari.

"Ndakabva mukuora mwoyo kwangu."

- Julie Robinson, Los Angeles

Muna 1996, Robinson akaenda kumusangano wekutanga-weKutenda Kwemuviri, wakaitwa nguva pfupi amai vake vafa. “Kufa kwaamai vangu kwakaita kuti ndirove dombo nekuti ndakaona kuti ndakanga ndisina kukwanisa kuvafarira kana hudiki hwangu,” anodaro. "Ndakanga ndisingakwanisi kuzvibatsira uye ndaida kuchinja hupenyu hwangu."

Robinson akasiya yake yekutanga Muviri Kutenda seminari achipika kugadzirisa pfungwa dzake, muviri nemweya. Kunyanya, aida kushanda pakusavimbika kwake uye kusingaperi kuderera kwegiredhi kuora mwoyo, hunhu hwakagovaniswa naamai vake vakashaya. Robinson anoti chirongwa ichi chakamugonesa kuti abude mukushushikana nekumuratidza nzira yekunangisa simba kure nehukama hwake hwepanyama. "Pandakangopfuura ndine hanya nechitarisiko changu, pakanga pane zvakawanda muupenyu zvokuti ndaigona kutendera uye kunakidzwa. Mushure meKuvimba neMuviri, ndakabvuma chikamu ichi changu chine moto uye chido, "anosimudzira. "Handitenderi kutya kumira munzira yangu zvekare. Icho chirongwa chaivepo nguva dzese, asi handina kuchiona nekuti ndakange ndakabatwa nekushushikana."

Robinson akatora danho nekuronga bhuku rekirabhu kuti abatanidze pfungwa dzake uye nekuvaka iri nani rutsigiro system. Panyama, akafunga kumisikidza zvinangwa zvakanyanya pane kuenda kujimu mazuva mashanu pasvondo. Saka iye neshamwari vakarovedzwa nekupedzisa triathalon muna 1997. Zvino, gore mushure mekuenda kumusangano wake wechipiri wemuviri weConfidence, akayambuka mutsetse wekufamba bhasikoro rechirwere cheAIDS chemakiromita 560 kubva kuSan Francisco kuenda kuLos Angeles.

Robinson akazouya zvizere mukupora kwake kubva parufu rwaamai vake. Akagovera tsamba yakafa nevamwe vatori vechikamu muTucson yaakanyorera amai vake. "Tsamba yangu kuna amai vangu inovataurira nezvezvinhu zvese zvandinofarira izvozvi," anotsanangura kudaro Robinson. "Ndasvika panguva muhupenyu hwangu iyo yandaive ndisina naye.

Paunonyura zvakadzika wozomuka, tora mweya wekutanga wotarisa-tarisa, zvese zvinoratidzika kunge zvakachena uye zvitsva uye zvitsva."

Nhanho yekutanga yaCastor yaive "kutanga kutarisisa zvakanyanya kune zvandaida kuita uye zvishoma kune izvo vamwe vaida kuti ndiite," anodaro, achirangarira zano raKearney-Cooke rekutanga kutarisa pazvinodiwa zvake - kunyangwe zvaireva kutora nguva kure nemhuri neshamwari kwenguva yakati. Castor akabvunza nyanzvi yezvokudya, uye nhasi, anorema kurovedza muviri nemurume wake, anodya chikafu chine hutano uye anotarisa pamukadzi mutsva waakawana.
