When I started studying, I did not tell anyone except my husband. My goal was to obtain a certificate for personal learning only. When I learn something though, I tend to circulate the information to those around me from siblings to friends. I found out that they were interacting, changing, and learning and getting more knowledge because of me. Thus, I decided to share what I learn with them on Instagram, and had a page named “Nourish Nora” which was initially called “Health Living”. I started my activities on this page as a way of sharing, where I publish all that I was preparing such as: this thing is useful, and that food is of super quality while this recipe contains such and such. From the start I love cooking. Whatever comes to my mind and I feel like that it is not healthy, I try to prepare it in a healthy way. For example, I learned how to prepare Maamoul (i.e.  Buttery date filled middle eastern cookies) before getting married and my family used to prepare it with the typical recipe. My siblings had excessive sensitivity to gluten, so I tried many recipes until I made the Maamoul healthy and delicious that quickly became one of the distinctive meals that my family prefers. Afterwards, I decided to share this recipe with everyone. Consequently, I reflected on that issue a little, and measured the way my personal experience has changed. Although I was not on a diet, I was healthier, better looking, younger with eye-catching skin and hair. So, why do we concentrate on weight loss? If we follow a harsh diet, we will face serious side effects such as weak and brittle hair, unhealthy skin, a constant feeling of fatigue with rapid and severe weight loss, but this is not the goal.  Let me tell you about an activity that I learned from my coach Nicole, which played on the strings of my heart. Imagine that you are eighty years old and think about how you will look like. We have two scenarios here. In the first scenario we may live until the age of eighty or a hundred, and we may have many health problems, stay on medications, and may not be able to move. In the second scenario, we may be enjoying good health, are able to move, have a good memory and have the ability to play with our grandchildren. Of course, our choices and our habits determine our future. Indeed, such an activity touched my heart a lot, especially with my two grandmothers. I saw my grandmother, my father’s mother, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s and could not recognize us nor her children although she did not reach eighty.  My other grandmother, may Allah rest her soul in peace, passed away due to cancer because she refused to be admitted to the hospital to receive the required medical treatment.  Such personal experiences influenced me a lot, so we must have control and pay due attention to our health condition, as our current choices will shape our future health condition. Actually, I am not claiming that in doing so we will lengthen or shorten our lives; however, we need to make use of all available resources and do what has to be done. Indeed, this gives me the motivation to stick to the healthiest methods, without just considering body look or weight loss. On the other hand, I found that diet had brought about an unhealthy relationship with eating and a constant feeling of guilt and blame, which adds psychological pressure on me. Therefore, I have been trying to adjust my relationship with eating and improve it without having any sense of guilt. Moreover, I do not find myself eating a heavy meal or do any other acts that made me feel guilty. Accordingly, I felt that I developed a trademark, hence I should show my face to everyone Especially after finding good reactions on my page and becoming convinced that I must be there to let people benefit from my experiences to achieve their goals. The responses were very good, because life coaching does not count only on the issue of eating, but we, as nutritionists, were taught in the institute that before proceeding with the issue of eating, we must identify the basic food pyramid which depends primarily on factors other than food such as people’s profession in the community, nature of their professional relationships, spiritual values, and physical activities. Thus, any defect in this pyramid leads to the adoption of unbalanced healthy habits. Therefore, we are always striving to strike a balance among all those aspects that are essential in anyone’s life. For example, if there is a person who is unhappy in their marital or family life, or has problems at work, this will be reflected in their behavior. Therefore, we usually find that person eating a lot, forgetting to eat, or considering food as the only refuge, or feeling that their energy is depleted resulting in increased consumption of sugar and other unhealthy food groups. There is always a reason beyond nutrition that causes wrong eating habits or wrong choices. Consequently, once we address this issue, we will find that person has a balance in nutritional and health habits in general.  All praise be to Allah that I did not encounter any problems at work, and all clients’ reactions were good. Interestingly, my mother does not know exactly what I am doing, but when she receives praise and compliments from people for what I do, she becomes surprised. Life coaches have a very important and useful role for many people in our community.
