Obesity - has Covid altered how you eat?

No. It's all about balance.

Eat the fun 'bad' things, maybe not every day, but make sure you move your body a bit too, preferably outside in the fresh air.


(Isn't Bake Off on Channel 4 these days?)

No I really don’t think so. It doesn’t encourage me to bake 😂. But it’s all about moderation. I’m really good at moderation when my heads in the game, and watching a program like that doesn’t impact me.

I’m not one for cutting things out anyway, doesn’t work for me. If I can’t have something at all, I give up.

There’s now a petition to get those with learning disabilities moved higher up the priority list for vaccination. It doesn’t mention obese people, but those with learning disabilities are supposedly often obese, as I mentioned earlier.

As for Bake off? Never watched it, but most people have to take responsibility for their own health, surely?
Aside from those with learning disabilities etc, we should know what a healthy lifestyle is, whether we choose to follow one or not.

Some great success stories here if we keep this up we will have to ask the mods to move it to the covid positive forum

Back in August I decided to do something about my weight, because of Covid concerns and the fact that as a teacher, I feel the need to be fit and healthy, so I can be in school and doing my job.

So I started at the gym the day it opened back up (August 10th I think) and started calorie counting. I’ve lost 3 stone and feel great.

Side affect is going down a few dress sizes and feeling confident enough to wear nice figure hugging clothes again.

Regular Monday morning weigh-in for me today and the last time I was this weight was Monday 23rd March, also the start of lockdown.

My weight doesn't vary much, so I've not lost loads or anything - it fluctuates within 4-5 pounds but I found it amusing that this is the first I'd been at my "lockdown weight".

(I did run 80 miles last week including a half-marathon on Saturday and another 17 miles yesterday.)
