How has your snacking and "treat" time been going???

Having more desserts? Having things you don't normally have?????

I probably add a size on my clothing.

I unfortunately ate all the good stuff the first couple of weeks. You know all the goodies that you buy just in case everything closes down and that is the only thing that you can think about.

So I have learned my lesson, don't even think about replacements.

To be honest I am terrified of putting weight on...not that I'm a tiny girl, but have done my best to stay at 10-12 in size...as I get older, it's harder to keep the weight off. I have been wanting to lose 10 lbs for a while...it's not happening.

I have never been a big eater, but do like my sweets....pie, brownies, etc. If I want dessert, I eat a light dinner.

My grocery list rarely changes we tend to eat the same things over and over.

I'm not having any issues.

I'm kind of OCD about eating balanced meals. I do have dessert after a meal - but I'm not one to snack on junk food. I just don't buy it!

I have "coffee breaks" during the day.

More snack stuff but recently trying to walk it back. More trips to Sprouts for fruits and vegetables. Also, I'm a fan of intermittent fasting - 5:2. Not for everyone, but helped me shed 20 pounds a couple of years ago. Back at that and it has curbed my hunger. It always does. Cooking more but my family isn't thrilled about leftovers. Don't know why. Always been that way. So I'm modifying my cooking. Good luck everyone.

I have been oven frying/roasting veggies....potatoes, sweet and small red, red and green peppers, onions. I use olive oil or italian dressing. I hope it's not a calorie laden dish. I could eat them every day!

I have put on weight. I need to lose a good 20 pounds. No one can believe when I tell them what I weigh now. But I see it.

@TheMemphisVette My dh eats ice cream EVERY SINGLE DAY and does not gain weight, it's really irritating.

My husband does the same thing. Actually he eats quite a bit and never gains weight.

The virus hasn't changed anything at my house. I still dress the same and eat the same way as always.

Since I haven't had to get up and go to work for the past 11 years, being in my home all day is normal.

I am not a snacker and having celiac disease limits the types of food I can eat, so no cake, cookies or pie for me.

I have never been an ice cream fan, but my DH is. He eats a bowl of ice cream every night and has for over 40 years. He never gains weight.

I still eat a piece of deep, dark chocolate everyday.

Eating everything that's not nailed down. 😃

My eating habits have not changed. I'm not a snacker so I don't munch on anything during the day. My weight has remained the same.

i cringe when i think of getting back into my going out clothes. i'm not brave enough!

It's weird.... my clothes fit better but I've gained 6 pounds. I'm working on losing those 6 before it goes any higher. I've lost 80 and don't want to gain it back.

Re: Since The Virus........

@CalminHeart -80 lbs is huge! Great job! Also great job on being diligent on not gaining it back. That's almost harder than losing it.

My eating habits haven't changed, but I try to make sure I'm not snacking out of boredom. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that my Spring/Summer clothes fit a little better than when I put them away last year.
