Im scared of gaining weight through this crisis

I posted in another thread that I am taking this time to challenge myself. I started c25k yesterday and want to run a 5k in the future. After trying to motivate my sales staff I realized I needed it too so I’m challenging myself to come out of this quarantine in better shape! Between trying to run, using a kettlebell, dumbbells, a couple of bands and back to the basics, ie pushups, lunges, walking planks, etc, I’m just trying to stay active. #quarantineweightlosschallenge 😎

I agree turn off the news - control the things you can control and don’t worry about the things you can’t control. This virus will take its course and nothing anyone can do about it and in reality you only have a 3% chance of hospitalization. 97% of the population will be fine!

Someone over at Obesity Help posted this video from Abbey Sharp. I think it's worth a watch and want to share the video.

Hi and yes I completely feel you! I have been grazing and my weight is climbing by the day! I am going to try online discussion groups for my anxiety tied to the uncertainty at this time rather than self soothe with food. As an emotional eater I seem to try to feel
Better with food and end up feeling worse.

I am with you! I completely understand how you feel. I am also an emotional eater. I apprec6the encouraging words. I have made some bad choices this week and I am concerned that I didn't lose weight this week (I weigh on Mondays).
