Office and eating could be a challenge, not only for people, who would like to keep their weight, or lose weight, but those, who want to be healthy.
I will provide some personal experience and how I succeed with my weight and work.
1. Story:
In 2007 Autumn, I was working for a French Winery in Tokaj Wine Region, in Hungary. and I wanted to save money to travel to South Africa.
I had very low hourly salary, I had work 12 hours on this budget, plus take student loan to be able to pay for my airplane ticket to travel to Africa.
I was saving on eating. I only ate I small bread roll with butter for months, so I can save money. I ate the grapes from the harvesting box. And I drunk like 2 liters of tea every day.
I was in great shape, I saved money, it was manageable for 2-3 months, not more.
Why? After very strict diet, the body will show nutrition lack...
2. Story:
In 2011 Summer, I was working in Poland for Marketing, Export and more...
That time, I also wanted to loose weight. I had to travel every morning 1 hour to work and 1 hour to get back where I lived.
I had to bring my food. I did not have any breakfast, only my light lunch, like salad, yoghourt and similar...Plus every day we were walking like 3-5-7km in the city with friends.
I lost 10 kg that Summer.
3. Story:
In 2013, Poland, I worked for a big corporate company, I wanted to loose weight, so I went to the gym. I still had bad eating habits. I ate every morning cake and coffee as a breakfast... somehow I managed to loose weight, but it was not good for my body. Then I went more extreme, then it was worse for my body.
I stopped eating normal food, I only drank coffee, and ate 2 dry pasta bag soup alone, nothing else.
It was horror, I started to show hypoglycemia, shaking, nerve problems... and more...
The company had a cantina, but I did not like the food there...
I had to go to the hospital for checks, but they did not figure out what was the problem.
4. Story:
After I gave birth to my first son, I already studied a lot of Naturopathy and Hormone therapy and similar course. I started to practice Bach Flower Remedies to have mental health to keep to the diet.
In the beginning it was not easy to keep it in balance. I usually ate first time at 2 PM. I was super exhausted. I run the household, I breastfeed for 18 month. My son started to get other food as well from month 3, but I let him to breastfeed until he was 18 month old.
My practice was to have water, tea and coffee, but not to much think about the proper food. So after birth giving, I was breastfeeding, and not loosing weight. So around April in 2018, I started to think about weight loose. I changed my diet and meals after my hormone and body types, I managed to loose 10kg in a very short period.
I have a lot of more stories, when I did well, and also, when I failed myself.
So than how dare I study this field?
First of all, trainers, doctors and similar way educated people believe sometimes, that they are Gods.
But they are humans. They can be also sick, they can also make bad decisions.
I saw a lot of trainers in Hungary, who were very popular, successful, looked amazing, had success stories, helping thousands of others, and they they had very serious health problems.
So having an education or a title will not protect you full from everything.
Yes, a lot of trainer look good, and they also tell the clients how to do better.
For me, studying, and trying to keep myself alive, is a success.
My grandmother's mother was 34 years old, when she died in tuberculosis during the WWII.
It is a very serious pneumonia. So when I was under 34, I spent my life by being afraid, that I will die at this age. When I passed this year, 34. I was thankful for every year, that I am still alive.
Yes, every time, when I had pneumonia, I had very serious mental challenges as well, not just the physical pain.
The worst was before Covid-19, when I was pregnant with my second son, and I got sick in the swimming pool. I wanted to keep a healthy pregnancy by doing light workout, and I got so sick, that I could not sleep for the coughing all night. It took me 2-3 weeks to get better. I was super worried about my pregnancy as well.
I did not get any medication, nothing!

How do all these stories connect to the course?
Different clients have different habits and life challenges. They need different motivation and focus.
Nah, Let's see, what Chat GTP would say about this, as I ask to write a blog post about my post:
Hi, I progress with my fitness education and I would like to ask you to check my post, and help me to write a nicer post about it to my blog.
You have a very strong foundation here because the post is personal, honest, and connected to real-life experience. That gives authenticity to your fitness education journey. The main thing missing is structure, smoother language, and clearer transitions between your stories and the lesson of the course.
I would recommend:
making the tone more reflective and professional,
shortening repeated details,
organizing the stories into a narrative,
and connecting everything more clearly to habit coaching and client psychology.
Here is a cleaner and more blog-friendly version:

Karen Blixen’s Tomb

I took this photo while reflecting on the life of Karen Blixen.
Why does her story connect to fitness, health, and personal growth?
Karen Blixen lived a beautiful yet difficult life. She became famous through her writing, but she also suffered from serious illness and difficult medical treatments during her lifetime. Her life moved between success, pain, loss, and recovery. Yet somehow, she always found a way to return to her creative flow.
That idea stayed with me:
sometimes strength is not perfection — it is the ability to continue despite challenges.
That is also what I learn through fitness education.
What I Learned About Habits, Nutrition & Survival
One of the most important realizations during this course is that health is never only about calories, workouts, or appearance.
Behind every client, there is a life story.
Office work, stress, financial struggles, emotional pressure, pregnancy, illness, exhaustion, and mental health all influence eating habits and body composition.
I know this not only from studying — but from personal experience.
Story 1 – Hungary, 2007
In the autumn of 2007, I worked for a French winery in the Tokaj wine region in Hungary. My dream was to save enough money to travel to South Africa.
I worked long hours for a very low salary and even took a student loan to afford my flight ticket.
To save money, I reduced my food intake dramatically. For months, I survived mostly on a small bread roll with butter, grapes from the harvest boxes, and around two liters of tea every day.
At first, I lost weight and looked healthy.
But eventually, my body started showing signs of nutritional deficiency.
This experience taught me that extreme restriction may work temporarily, but it is not sustainable health.
Story 2 – Poland, 2011
In 2011, I worked in marketing and export in Poland.
I wanted to lose weight again, while also commuting two hours daily for work. I prepared light meals such as salads and yogurt, skipped breakfast, and stayed physically active by walking several kilometers each day with friends.
That summer, I lost 10 kilograms.
But looking back, I understand that exhaustion and under-eating were also part of the process.
The body can adapt for a while — but balance matters.
Story 3 – Corporate Life & Extreme Dieting
In 2013, I joined a large corporate company in Poland and started going to the gym.
Unfortunately, my eating habits were still unhealthy. My breakfast was often cake and coffee. Later, I became even more extreme in my attempts to lose weight.
At one point, I stopped eating proper meals almost completely. I survived mostly on coffee and instant soup.
My body eventually reacted badly:
shaking, hypoglycemia symptoms, nervous system problems, and exhaustion.
I even went to the hospital for medical tests, but the root problem was not immediately identified.
Today, I understand that rapid weight loss without proper nutrition can seriously damage physical and mental health.
Story 4 – Motherhood, Recovery & Hormonal Balance
After the birth of my first son, I had already started studying naturopathy, hormone health, and holistic wellness.
Motherhood changed everything.
I was breastfeeding for 18 months, managing a household, sleeping very little, and often neglecting proper nutrition. I frequently delayed eating until the afternoon while relying mostly on coffee, tea, and water to get through exhaustion.
Eventually, I realized that my body needed support, not punishment.
In 2018, I began adjusting my nutrition based on hormone balance, body type, and sustainable eating habits. I lost 10 kilograms in a much healthier and faster way than during my earlier attempts.
This time, the process felt supportive instead of destructive.
Why Do These Stories Matter?
People often believe that trainers, doctors, or health professionals must always be perfect.
But they are human too.
I have seen many successful trainers who looked strong and healthy on the outside while privately struggling with serious health issues.
Education and titles do not make someone invincible.
What truly matters is self-awareness, continuous learning, resilience, and compassion toward both ourselves and others.
Health Is Personal
My family history also shaped my fears and motivation.
My great-grandmother died from tuberculosis at the age of 34 during World War II. Because of this, I spent much of my younger life afraid that I would also die young.
After passing that age, I became deeply grateful for every additional year of life.
I also experienced severe pneumonia multiple times, including during pregnancy before the Covid-19 pandemic. I became extremely sick after swimming while trying to maintain a healthy pregnancy through light exercise.
For weeks, I struggled with coughing, exhaustion, and fear for my unborn child.
Those moments taught me that health is fragile — and that recovery requires patience, adaptability, and mental strength.
How Does This Connect to Fitness Coaching?
This course section focuses heavily on:
habit development,
motivation,
resilience,
nutrition compliance,
client communication,
and behavioral psychology.
And now I understand why these topics matter so much.
Every client carries invisible struggles.
Some fight emotional eating.
Some struggle with exhaustion.
Some lack time, money, support, or confidence.
Some have trauma connected to their body or health.
A good coach does not only create workout plans.
A good coach learns how to understand people.
And perhaps that is the most important lesson of all.
