PSA: You are NOT alone for gaining weight during quarantine!
I read this sub every morning and evening to keep myself motivated, and to get tips from you all. I read every post. And what I see so many people getting discouraged about is the weight they have regained because of gyms closing down and, in my case, snack time is all the time. The majority of my diet in March - April was basically snack foods, and not the good kind. Not to mention it's kind of difficult to buy fresh produce when we're not supposed to be going to the store. It wasn't until I took some pictures with my daughter a couple weeks ago that I realized my body has changed, and lo and behold I have gained 15 pounds. Back to the drawing board, right?
So don't beat yourself up. You're not weak. What a weird time we're living in.
I've swapped my crappy snacks for some more acceptable ones and I'm going back to the drawing board. I have gone back to counting calories. I'm doing pilates in my living room with Blogilates. I set aside an hour in the evening for self-care: even though I'm not going anywhere, doing hair masks, face masks, and manicures always up my confidence and motivate me to stick to my diet.
If you need to take it easy as all of this blows over, that's okay. You are not a failure because of the circumstances we have been thrown in.
