Millennials spent the entire pandemic baking bread, wtf did you expect?
Noo I'm not taking money. I'm on UI and have 2 other people I live with. I'm not broke, just showing how expensive food is.
None of my clothes fit anymore but I have no money to replace them :deeper-sadness:

Easily explained by how your metabolism slows down when you get older. That's why it's harder to lose weight the older you get.
Same lol. I'm around 50-60kg/110-130lbs and over 182cm/6ft tall, like shit I don't even know what to do anymore.
It's simple when you put it that way but eating disorders make it a lot more complicated than that.

During "binge" days I sometimes eat more than 4000 calories in a day (I actually counted it once), then during other days it's 5pm when I've realised I've only had half a cup of yogurt for breakfast and an energy bar for lunch, if I even ate that day.
The trick is to surround yourself with food and mindlessly consume. Then you gain too much weight and have the opposite problem. :deeper-sadness:
I'm $7000 in debt to grocery bills over the past year, I do snack, I'm 6'5" and am only 130lbs
it helps im like 5 foot tall but my ideal weight is like 120 cause it turns me into a bimbo
Surprised to see so many comrades report they lost weight. To counterbalance a bit: I gained around 20lbs in the past year.
yeah, i gained over 30lbs. i was already gaining some weight before covid hit but being stuck at home definitely made me eat a lot more often just out of boredom.
Millenials are just about all metabolism slowdown and starting to fall apart faster age at the young end, so that makes sense.
at the young end
Reading this as an older end zoomer who just started losing weight 2 years ago: :deeper-sadness:
I was up 25 pounds at my heaviest. Currently around 17 ish, so a little better, but it's damn hard making up for my overall loss in fitness. It feels like lost 3 years of progress I had made before that.
i gained around 10lbs i think. working on it though, part of it was just not finding good enough places outside to go for long walks or bike rides without encountering dozens and dozens of people—a lot not wearing masks on a trail or recreational area. I also stopped stress eating as much! And switched back to veggie snacks over heavy carbs
I drank booze and ate extra cheddar gold fish everyday for three months and gained like 40lbs. Started working out for the rest of the pandemic and I'm now10lbs lighter then when it started.
I already had a nice gut when the pandemic started and it's only gotten worse. Haven't formally weighed myself in a while but I'd guess I've gained 15-20lbs in the last year.
I have become much fitter over lockdown and somehow stayed the exact same weight
I gained about 20 pounds in 2020.... Im short so it was pretty disappointing seeing the scale start with a 2 in december. Lost about 5 so far in 2021 but most of my weight came from drinking I think so cutting back on that has helped.
