I worked hard last year to lose weight. I lost 15 lbs and was feeling awesome. Then Covid hit. And I gained weight. 10 pounds. I assumed it was due to a lack of exercise and stress eating (in retrospect, I wasn't eating all that differently). My stomach was getting larger and larger, and I kept beating myself up over it.
Today I was diagnosed with a 20cm (8 inch) ovarian cyst. That's... huge. And I feel like an idiot for not having noticed. I look like I'm 6 months pregnant, and all I could see was the "fat." Don't get me wrong: I am definitely still overweight. But when this puppy comes out I'm hoping to lose the ten "Covid pounds" I had gained.
So, PSA: some weight gain doesn't make sense. If things don't add up, see your doctor and get things checked out.
