When I was 20, I came to the Netherlands from Hungary because I had been offered a job here and decided to use this opportunity to make some other changes as well. It had been a difficult year and perhaps a new environment could help break this too.
Those first two years in the Netherlands proved a tough challenge. I felt lost and became an emotional eater. This caused me to overeat and I ended up 45 pounds overweight. One day I woke up and realized that something had to change. I decided to get up every morning for a run before I headed to work. I also started with home trainings that I found on YouTube. I made a good start with 10 km running per day. My ‘home gym’ consisted of a yoga mat and two kettlebells of 5 kg.
