Here the instructor tells a story about a couple, where the husband lost a good amount of weight with the help of the trainer. In the main time, the wife was still fat and she felt even worse from the positive changes in the husband's life.
Some women just do not want to loose weight, for a period. WHY? WHY?
I also had periods like this.
My reasons were:
Mother during Covid-19 lockdown:
I wanted to breastfeed, and if I did not eat enough, I did not have breastmilk. But nowadays there are good replacements for breastmilk. Yes. I tried both for my both kids. One kids was ok with the replacement, still I breastfeed him until he was 18 months old. My other son had serious stomach problems, for 5 month he used to cry 5-6 hours every day. I gave him all the different kind of replacement milks, and breastmilk as well. I used vitamins, drops. We had local nurse consultation, my mother online consultation. My mother is a doctor for kids. I also have Healthcare Assistant education from Hungary.
So we just had to get over those very hard months.
Also it was COVID-19 lockdown. My elder kid was not allowed to go to kindergartner. Why? As I did not have a job, when the state used my CPR number as a registered person for work. I just worked as a mother, as a maid, as a wife, a gardenist, a chauffeur, a tourist guide, an IT student, a CBS student, a volunteer and much more... this was not a work for Denmark. I was just a migrant with PD3 language exam, permanent resident permit, citizenship exam passed and more...
I was not good enough to get a place for my elder kid in the kindergartner during the COVID-19 lockdown. So I had a lot to do, I did not have any cleaning lady or baby sitter.
The girl who came over around 3 times to take care about my kids. She was a 15 years old girl, who did not know how to cook, how to clean, how to help with kids.
So I paid her three occasion, and I practically also babysit her. I teach her cleaning, cooking, babysitting, I also took her on a trip to Ishøj.
I was still ok with her, as I was not alone to face challenges, she was a little bit a mental support.
The father of the kids was super busy. He closed himself in his office for long hours. I taught he worked, but some days, he only watched for hours gym YouTube videos. Then he was stressed, that he did not progress with his work.
Then I made a big website for him, so his job could look better. I work super hard and fast, but it was not fully appreciated, as he did not know, how much it requires to make a website like that in 2021.
Mother raising kids alone after an huge alcohol poisoning:
After, I lived with my kids alone for more than a year, I went to a company party, where I had too much alcohol. I nearly died from poisoning. I could not loose any weight for 1-1,5 years... It was emotional block and I had physical boundaries.
Why?
The alcohol damaged the liver, if you have very damaged inner organ, than your body focuses on healing. Not on looking sexy or more...
Why can alcohol be good and bad for the body?
Some cases the Bible recommends to take alcohol for women to relax.
So it is mental relaxation way.
But if you take far too much, than you damage your body outside and inside as well.
If you check different ways how people consume alcohol, you can see, that it shows their skin age as well.
If you drink a lot of high spirits alcohol, than your skin will get older faster.
Some people are not able to progress with wine, and they have red face or worse.
How do I dare to talk about it???
My first degree is an Engineer specialized on Winemaking. I got that diploma in 2008.
I also got my diploma as the Distillery Technician in 2009.
Now, I asked Chat GTP to make my post even better:
Your post has something valuable that many fitness articles lack: real-life experience. The strongest part is not the technical discussion about weight loss—it is your reflection that people are not always ready to lose weight, and that there can be emotional, medical, family, and life circumstances behind it.
I would strengthen the structure, improve the English, and be careful with some medical claims. For example, "the body focuses on healing, not looking sexy" is a reasonable personal observation, but stating that alcohol poisoning directly prevents weight loss for 1–1.5 years would need scientific evidence. It is safer to describe it as your personal experience.
Here is a revised version:

Why Do Some People Not Want to Lose Weight?
One story from the course caught my attention.
The instructor described a couple. The husband worked with a trainer and successfully lost a significant amount of weight. His health improved, his confidence increased, and many areas of his life became better.
At the same time, his wife remained overweight and felt worse about herself as she watched her husband's transformation.
This raised an interesting question:
Why do some people seem unwilling to lose weight, at least for a period of their lives?
I have experienced periods like this myself.
Many fitness professionals assume that everyone wants to lose weight all the time. However, life is often more complicated than that. Sometimes weight loss is not the highest priority. Sometimes survival, recovery, family responsibilities, or mental health take priority.
My Experience During the COVID-19 Lockdown
During the COVID-19 lockdown, I was raising two young children.
One of my sons had severe digestive problems as a baby. For approximately five months, he cried for five to six hours every day. We tried breastmilk, multiple formula options, vitamins, drops, consultations with healthcare professionals, and advice from my mother, who is a pediatric doctor.
Nothing solved the problem immediately. We simply had to get through a very difficult period.
At the same time, I wanted to continue breastfeeding. In my experience, maintaining milk production required me to eat adequately and focus on my recovery rather than aggressive dieting.
My older child was also at home during parts of the lockdown, which increased the workload significantly. My days were filled with childcare, cooking, cleaning, studying, volunteering, and supporting my family.
Looking back, losing weight was not my main priority. My priority was keeping my children healthy and functioning as a mother during a challenging period.
Sometimes Support Is Limited
Like many parents, I discovered that help is not always available when you need it.
I occasionally hired a young teenager to help with childcare. However, she was inexperienced, so I often found myself teaching cooking, cleaning, and childcare skills while still managing my own responsibilities.
Even limited support can be valuable because it reduces isolation and provides emotional encouragement.
This experience taught me that fitness goals do not exist in isolation. They are affected by family responsibilities, available support systems, financial resources, and stress levels.
Recovery After Serious Health Challenges
Another period when weight loss became difficult followed a severe alcohol poisoning incident.
Afterward, I spent a long time focusing on physical and emotional recovery. During that period, losing weight was not my primary concern.
When the body is recovering from illness, injury, extreme stress, or other major health events, people often have different priorities. Energy may be directed toward healing, restoring normal function, and rebuilding daily routines.
This is one reason fitness coaches should avoid judging clients too quickly. Sometimes a person's lack of progress is not caused by laziness. There may be deeper physical, emotional, or life circumstances involved.
Alcohol: Potential Benefits and Risks
Alcohol has played different roles throughout human history.
Some people use small amounts of alcohol socially or as a way to relax. However, excessive alcohol consumption can have serious negative consequences for health.
Heavy drinking may affect:
Recovery
Sleep quality
Training performance
Body composition
Skin appearance
Long-term health
People also respond differently to alcohol depending on genetics, health conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors.
As with many things in nutrition and health, moderation is important.
Why Do I Feel Comfortable Discussing Alcohol?
My background includes formal education in alcoholic beverage production.
I earned my first degree as an Engineer specializing in Winemaking in 2008.
I also qualified as a Distillery Technician in 2009.
Because of this education, I have both a professional and personal interest in understanding alcohol, its production, and its effects on the human body.
Final Reflection
One of the most important lessons from this section of the course is that compliance is not simply about discipline.
People do not always fail to follow nutrition or fitness programs because they lack motivation.
Sometimes they are caring for children.
Sometimes they are recovering from illness.
Sometimes they are overwhelmed by stress.
Sometimes they are dealing with emotional challenges that are invisible to others.
A great fitness coach looks beyond calories and workouts and tries to understand the human being behind the program.
A further improvement would be to make the article less autobiographical and connect your experiences more directly to coaching principles. That would make it read more like a fitness educator's blog and less like a personal diary while still preserving your story.
Then I asked Chat GTP about how long it takes for the liver to heal from alcohol poisoning:
The answer depends on how severe the alcohol poisoning was and whether there was any lasting liver damage.
If it was a one-time alcohol poisoning event
For most healthy people, the liver begins recovering almost immediately once alcohol is cleared from the body.
Blood alcohol is usually eliminated within hours to a day.
The liver can recover from temporary stress and inflammation within days to weeks.
Liver enzyme levels that became elevated may return to normal within a few weeks, assuming no ongoing alcohol use.
If the liver was actually injured
Recovery can take much longer:
Alcohol-related fatty liver: often improves within 2–6 weeks of abstinence.
Alcoholic hepatitis (inflammation of the liver): recovery may take months, and severe cases can be life-threatening.
Fibrosis (scar tissue): may partially improve over months to years if alcohol consumption stops.
Cirrhosis (advanced scarring): is generally considered permanent, although stopping alcohol can prevent further damage and improve liver function.
Other factors that affect recovery
Age
Overall health
Nutrition
Body weight
Medications
Existing liver disease
Whether alcohol use continued after the poisoning
In your situation
You mentioned that after a severe alcohol poisoning incident you felt unable to lose weight for 1–1.5 years.
It is possible that your liver itself healed much sooner than that. However, many other factors can affect weight management for a long period after a major health crisis:
Physical recovery
Sleep disruption
Stress
Hormonal changes
Emotional trauma
Reduced activity levels
Changes in eating habits
So while your weight-loss difficulties may have lasted 1–1.5 years, that does not necessarily mean the liver needed 1–1.5 years to heal.
If you had blood tests (such as ALT, AST, GGT, bilirubin, or liver ultrasound results) from that period, I could help explain what they might indicate about the likely extent and duration of liver recovery.
Then I also asked Google AI about the previous things:

💔 The Wife Who Didn't Want to Lose Weight
🤱 Case Study 1: The Lockdown Mother (Survival Mode)
- The Reality: I had two young kids at home with no kindergarten support.
- The Health Crisis: My baby boy had severe stomach issues and cried for 5–6 hours every single day.
- The Science: I wanted to breastfeed. To make enough milk, I needed to eat plenty of food, not starve myself on a diet.
- The Stress: I was working as a mother, maid, wife, student, and volunteer. My husband was locked in his home office under extreme stress.
🧪 Case Study 2: The Alcohol Crisis (Healing Mode)
- The Physical Block: While a healthy liver can clear a single night of drinking quickly, the body still goes through a massive shock.
- The Emotional Block: The trauma of nearly dying created an emotional wall.
- The Science of Healing: When the body suffers severe trauma, it stops caring about "looking sexy." It puts all its energy into inner healing, hormone balance, and cellular repair.
💡 Key Takeaway for Fitness Coaches
- They are caring for sick children.
- They are recovering from hidden illnesses.
- They are drowning in stress.
- They lack a good support system.
- Do you want a more professional or more emotional tone?
- Should we add a specific call to action at the end for your readers?
- Do you want to include any hashtags for social media?
