I guess this is an accountability post; however, I'd love to hear how others are coping gaining weight during COVID.
I believe I'm around 120lbs right now (possibly more; need to buy a new scale tomorrow), and I was most comfortable at 105lbs as a 4'11 woman. Not being able to go to the gym was a good excuse for a while, but then it just all began to add up. I was able to lose my previous 40 pounds by not prioritizing exercising at all, so what happened? I just fell into a comfortable cycle, but now the gain is becoming obvious and while I'm disheartened that I thought I would never regain the weight I worked hard to get off, I'm beginning anew.
Between now and the time I lost all the weight I gained a partner, a new house, and we all know what 2020 amounted to be - paired with some family stress and troubles, I just cared so much less about how much I ate every day, and totally stopped tracking.
But... I'm honestly not sorry about the gain. It was a hard year. But now, I'm going back to 2017 when I lost my weight the first time. Calorie counting, weighing myself (I don't think I have honestly weighed myself in several months), and doing new things (like gardening!) to improve myself. Also being patient. I could have started this a few weeks ago, but I thought I would start fasting immediately and I would get so hungry by the EOD I would just eat and eat. Or I would only eat 600 calories and overcompensate severely the next day. I don't know why I'm punishing myself by going the "fast" route. I'm starting slow and my first goal is 115. Hopefully I'll make that in a month!
How about the rest of you - has COVID really halted your progress?
