My problem, I bought goodies I seldom buy, just in case we wouldn't have stores open and they last forever. Like peanut butter, nuts, Ritz crackers, cheese, popcorn, etc. Of course I ate them all in the first couple of months. Of course I have the oatmeal, canned veggies, dried beans left.
Lesson learned, I won't do that again. It seems like if they are here I will eat them. I am now working through the dried beans.

@Bhvbum I did the same thing. Ate it all very quickly.
I just can't have anything in the house without scarfing
it down.
Finally got a handle on the food and my sugar, I'm a diabetic.
Good luck to you and to all struggling with food issues.

I'm the opposite. Some days, I feel anxious to the point that I have to force myself to eat. For those days, I keep Ensure on hand.

Yes, four pounds, and I've only manged to lose one, so far. I know why I've gained.
It's because I extend time between grocery store visits. So, instead of plentiful fresh produce and lean meats, I often have to rely on processed frozen, or canned products.
Also, pantry items easily kept in storage like brown rice, whole wheat pasta and beans, that should be a side dish, often become the meal's focus, when running low on items. Too many carbs and I will gain weight before I leave the table ..

Even my bedroom slippers feel tight.

I had the virus in March. In two weeks I lost 11 lbs. just had no appetite. It lasted altogether three weeks but for a long time after I felt exhausted.
i'm fine now and have gained back six lbs.
we all need to give ourselves a bit of a break during this unique time. It won't last forever!

I sure did - I'm a worthless piggo, I look at myself and wince, I disgust myself. I'm repulsive.

Gained about 5-8 pounds from that. So all and all I am looking at 20 pounds that I need to get rid of. Working on it now.
So much easier to put on then take off..lol!

I happened to hear on the radio just a few days ago that the average "Pandemic weight" gain is 16 lbs.
Well...that makes me feel better..just another reason to wish that VIRUS would go away!!!!!!
