First.... I know this is the Rants & Raves section. This is why i'm posting it here!!!! Trust that i know i will get flack for this....

I'm confused about how people are gaining weight during the Covid..... Shouldn't people be losing? It would seem to me that with people not having to get up and go to work they would have more time to dedicate to there diet and exercise.

People have been complaining for YEARSSSSS that they don't have time to plan their meal and don't have time to exercise. What about now? What's stopping people from either... growing there on veggies or buying them and having more time to food prep. Also, why aren't people taking the time to exercise more.... walking, running, yoga, stretching..... repurposing those milk jugs and filling them with water/sand. Grab those resistance bands and use them or the exercise equipment you are using as a clothes hanger....... I just really don't understand. Not trying to be mean.... i really just don't understand.

There is no way i'm the only person that has these questions.

Sure let's address this first: Dog whistling and triggering language

Then let's discuss the differences in your responses to another member vs me

What..... asking about medicare/medicaid..... that reaching... but ok.

Another example of feigned innocence. That post wasn't a sincere question about Medicare, just as this post wasn't a genuine question about weight gain.

You seem to have a need to put others down for a myriad of reasons including gaining weight (on a WLS forum of all places) or for being in the unfortunate position of needing to rely on government benefits (did you return your stimulus check?). And then there is the subtle and not so subtle racism you display, by referring to weaves and protesting. Do I need to bring up when you posted COVID is being overblown to make Trump look bad?

I consider myself to be progressive and liberal. I’ve learned recently that it’s not ok just to be “not racist” in a passive way. We have to stand up for our fellow American citizens and live in an anti racist society.

(We also need to care for everyone in poverty and provide freaking insurance to everyone.)

I read this post on Instagram and realized how much I still have to learn and understand.

How does everyone seem to have so much free time at work? I might have chosen the wrong profession...
