So how many of you had to order pants the next size up from Amazon the past few weeks?

Both my boys were at the house the past couple of months after both being away at school the last several years so the wife was trying to fatten them up while they were here.

Guess who got fattened up?

I think I’m what they call “collateral damage”.

I'm not sure they even make a size bigger than the one I'm wearing now. However, I'm doing my part for the economy. Anheuser-Busch SA/NV, which owns the brewers of Stella Artois, just announced a dividend increase. It is also considering acquiring Food Lion, because a local store has become its highest volume distributor.

I quit going in our local Food Lion we both frequent. I was getting too creeped out by the customers wandering around aimlessly with masks because they can’t follow the arrows.

I find the Sheetz up the street to be more entertaining.

I haven't had to move up a size....yet....but I will if I don't get a grip on the weight I've packed on in the last few weeks, some of which comes from wine and Bailey's, I'm sure!
I did walk a lot at B. Oaks yesterday, so that might have helped a tiny bit, and I didn't have the usual chocolate shake on the way home.....lol.
 
Heck I been put on a diet if anything with my kids staying home. They eat everything in the house before I or wife have a chance at meal time if you do not watch it and wanting a snack 30 mins after eating a meal!
 
Losing weight has been easier than normal. Lines in drive thrus and no dining rooms has me eating less greasy fatty food.

You might find out that your pants have shrunk while they were sitting in the dresser. That's what happened to me.

Im one of the lucky ones that has been allowed to work from home ( while complaining to open up for those out of work). Gym equipment has seen the most use in a long time as i dont have to commute 2hrs a day.

I have a home gym set up in my garage, but working from home the refrigerator calls to me nonstop while I'm unable to escape.

Working from home has been a struggle but I've actually lost a few pounds. I'm just not as hungry at home for some odd reason. Nearing supper time, I realize I haven't eaten all day. Very strange.
 
I've lost a couple of pounds, but only because I'm not tied to my desk anymore. I've tried walking as much as possible around the homestead, working on projects. But I get worn out easily.

My son being home on furlough has actually helped me gain. He reminds me to eat lunch. I lost so much weight before and after Mrs. passed that my doc was very concerned and advised me to start eating regularly. Was on the edge of him diagnosing malnutrition. I've had no appetite for months. Had to buy smaller clothes. I haven't been this size for thirty years! Trying to gain a bit back but in a healthy way without expanding the waistline. As evidenced by me getting 5 Guys for dinner and skipping the cheese! Couldn't pass on the bacon though. Finally have the energy to exercise a bit on dog walks and do house work in and out. A lot got neglected in the past year.
 
Even furloughed, I still only ate one meal most days. Weekends see me eating breakfast, but for the most part, I have a cup of coffee in the morning, something for lunch, and whiskey in the evening.

I've lost over 20lbs this year and have maintained quite well.

My sister-in-law just called me fat as soon as I walked in today.

In my own house too.



I am working on it.

Just own it.

I did have to buy suspenders to hold up my gun belt at matches.

To be fair, you HAVE noticeably gained weight during this. Your normal daily routine at work changed, which hasn't helped I'm sure. Teleworking 2 to 3 days out of the week puts a serious kibosh on your early morning workouts in the gym that you were in the habit of doing before coming in each morning, for example.
 
Working on loosing the COVID-19 weight. I don’t use a scale but my pants and belt are telling me: loose the weight you bum.

I’m walking three miles in the mornings, but taking my buddy who just got back from A-Stan to a big breakfast in Angier in the morning. If I can’t lose weight, I can make him look like me. :D

I actually dropped weight, but I had to try hard. I’m enjoying tons of food on vacation now though. I don’t think my smart scale is going to recognize me when I get home. Lol.
