As a trainer of many years, I have encountered many reasons for having weight loss goals ranging from the bizarre: "My husband says if I can't lose at least 50 lb. he will divorce me," to the unrealistic: "I am at a size 22 now and would like to be down to a size 8 within a year." My answers to them are the same: weight loss is successful when it is both realistic and desired. So what does that mean, exactly?

As in the example above, that of a goal to be able to go from a size 22 to a size 8 within a year, our goals must primarily be simple and attainable. I am not saying that it is impossible to go from a size 22 to a size 8 in a year, and I am not saying that there is not a possible way that it can be done in a year; but generally speaking, healthy weight loss takes time. A good estimate of a healthy weight loss is roughly 2 lb. per week.

With a realistic goal, one aims for a healthy lifestyle change combined with a healthy weight loss goal, not the goal of a particular pant size. Keep in mind that not every body type and bone structure is meant to conform to a certain pant size. A healthy body is what matters.

As in the example above, the woman wanted to lose weight at the demands of her husband. The desire to lose weight has to come from the person not enforced by someone else. Chances of success are slim if you are losing weight to please someone else. The desire to lose weight must be your desire - a desire for your body, your health and your own reasons.

By making a list of reasons that you wish to lose weight, you can have a better chance of coming up with realistic goals and realistic milestones. Be patient - weight loss does get accomplished overnight. It requires lifestyle change, commitment and persistence.

. Realias are real objects that exist in a given environment. According to the dictionary definitions, realia is a culture-specific word or phrase which is often difficult, if not impossible to translate into target language (Latin realis - actual, true, and material). Such words and set phrases that name these objects are called realias in linguistics and in theory of translation.

As a linguistic phenomenon realia refers to the culture-specific vocabulary. This term was coined by E. M. Vereshchagin and V. G. Kostomarov. The culture specific vocabulary is composed of words expressing notions which are unfamiliar to another culture and language; words referring to the particular cultural elements, which are typical for culture A and absent in culture B, and unrenderable words, which have no equivalents in target languages. They are the part of background knowledge and of great interest for linguistic and cultural interaction studies. The main challenge that a translator faces in the process of referential meanings translation expressed in SL is mismatching of meanings in two languages. In cases when there is no equivalent of lexical unit of one language in the vocabulary of another language, it is referred to as culture-specific vocabulary.

The problem of the ST national and ethnic uniqueness, text coloring related to its national environment, is one of the principal problems of the translation theory, constituting the notion of translatability.

Distinctive feature of realia is nature of its content (connection of the determine object with a certain country, nation, social community) and the link to a certain period of time. On the basis of these features, S. Vlahov and S. Florin proposed detailed classification of cultural realia.

a) geographic realia:

1) physical geography and meteorology (steppe, tornado, tsunami);

2) endemic species (sequia, iguana, cheryomucha).

b) ethnographic realia:

1) everyday life (spaghetti, koumiss, sauna);

2) work (rancho, kolkhoz, consierge);

3) art and culture (kazachok, balalaika, chastushki);

4) ethic objects (Cossack, cockney, yankee);

5) measures and money (arshin, pud, peseta).

c) political and social realia:

1) reginal administrative agencies (county, hutor, aul);

2) offices (duma, forum, khan)

3) social and political life (Bolshevik, samurai, madame);

4) military realia (katyusha, marshal, ataman).
