    I haven't gotten gas in a month. I've lost weight because I don't need excess calories being in a one bedroom apartment lol. I do take brisk walks and runs every so often. I've been catching up and binge watching shows I thought I would never finish. Playing video games I never thought u would get the time to play. More sleep and my stress levels have been on an all time low since early March. So many wonderful benefits.

    Same here. And, I feel slightly guilty in saying that this lockdown has taken away the bulk my stress... been interviewing for a long time with no luck, so now that I'm not pummeling the world with CVs 15-hrs/day (no kidding), for the 1st time in a long time, I feel some peace. Worried, but not stressed to the nth degree, as per usual.

    Like you, I'm slowly losing weight... I'm a stress non-eater & also rationing to cut down having to go out for food. I'm stretching shopping to every 3-4 wks.

    Also, it's of benefit to not think I have it worse or better than others. We're all affected, in varying ways. It can be depressing to be alone... but, I'd imagine irritating at times, to be with others 24/7.

    Be well.

    Quote thingy not working. But I have the same issue as the previous poster - I'm losing weight, not gaining. And I'm already at maintenance, so I don't need or want to lose. Also losing my fitness - used to lots of long distance outdoors exercise and those days are gone. It's depressing.

    Working from home, curfew affecting my outdoor walks, lost some customers, cancelled an overseas trip, unable to attend church in the usual way, doctor cancelled my appointment, upset about a friend who can't have her scheduled brain surgery done, shopping restricted, salary cut, .......

    Didn't even realize the list was so long until I started typing!!

    The negative: I'm super stressed out between working 70ish hours a week out of the house (anxious about bringing COVID home to my kids) and homeschooling 4 kids (currently failing 6th grade math🙋‍♀️🤦‍♀️).

    The positive: I'm still employed and working out of the house a lot ( I can pretty much have as much OT as I want), which means I'm not stuck at home 24/7 with 4 kids.
