Weight loss is on a hold-ish

For those of you that don't know I work at a critical care access hospital. I am pulling 12-14 hour shifts and then going home and helping my son with all his school work since school is currently on an online teaching due to the closing of schools. I have struggled to eat appropriately during this time. With running all over the place I eat what I can when I can. Yesterday I didn't get my first meal until almost 2, and that was a piece of pizza while running from one command meeting to another. I am not sleeping much either. All gyms have been closed (not that I would try that at this time). I'm just being whiney right now. Everyone stay safe and don't freak out!

at times like this, you've got enough stress on your body and mind to deal with, without adding to it by trying to stick to a deficit. With what you energy you need to make it through your hectic schedule, dropping diet plans and just focusing in fueling your body with the best you can get is a smart move. This won't last forever! Meanwhile, take care of yourself as much as you possibly can!1

I agree. Take care of yourself. I think it is a bad idea to associate your present circumstances with weight loss.
Those kinds of things have a bad habit of becoming mental baggage more than we realize.
Try to work in some decent nutrition at least one meal every other day. I am not a huge fan but now may be the time to consider a multi vitamin too.1 -
You've got a lot going on, Take care of yourself.1

Whine away, the world is going crazy right now and I cant imagine what it's like being on the front line.
As others said, take care of yourself and try not to burn out. It sounds like you're rushing around so much you're already getting your workouts in!1
