Your weight during pandemic

It did in the first few weeks and now it has drifted back to where I started.

My blood sugar readings are another matter too much comfort food, carbs, etc...

Now that the hot humid weather has arrived I will lose much of my interest in eating and the numbers will begin to improve.
 
My weight always remains pretty much the same. I never bother weighing myself, even though I have a scale, but I can tell by how my clothes fit. Everything fits exactly the same. (Whether I ever have any reason to put on something nice is another story!)
 
I've lost 4 pounds in the last 2 months~right on track. I've been able to maintain my slow weight loss diet, even though some of the foods I get to make it easier were not always available.
 
My weight situation hasn't changed much. It goes up and down. I'm getting to a better place with it but then I may just pig out and eat a whole pizza and that will change :ROFLMAO: I do always manage to get it back down to a better place. My appetite isn't great right now and I am glad for that for a change. I used to always feel hungry.

I am always working on my weight and WILL eventually get it to where I am happier with it. I am 24 pounds less than I was 2 years ago and I'm grateful for that. I have learned to eat better since being diagnosed with type 2 2 years ago.
 
Same as before, I think. Between the wood pile and splitting wheeling wood around I am doing fine. Not losing weight, but pants are sliding south a lot. lol.....
Some well meaning comments from those really near sited......lol

So what do you eat if you don’t cook?

Lately, since this mess started, I make cream of wheat or oatmeal for breakfast. Hot dog, canned fruit, frozen veggie for lunch, or spam, or canned corned beef hash which I love. Husband makes dinner.

Dinner might be hamburger patties, canned fruit, boxed rice or potatoes. Or a roasted chicken from Costco. I would not define anything we do with food as cooking. I can not stand for any length of time and, according to the docs, I am never to stand over a stove.

I miss baking. My daughter reminds me how I used to make cakes, pies, cookies etc. she loved my sour cream peach pie and pastries that I made. And the Xmas salt cookies I made and we painted and hung from the tree every year.

I instilled a love of cooking and baking in her, especially baking. She sends me pictures of the things she makes, sigh. But those days are gone. As I said before, somewhere, my doctor, a couple months ago, said it’s time I switch to baby food. As my digestive issues become worst.

But I am not ready to do that, and I would prefer never to do that if possible.

That’s too bad you can’t bake any more. Are you not allowed to use the oven either now? When I make something for the oven I usually make the item at the dining room table and when it’s ready pop it in the oven until it ready but I guess the chance of you falling onto the hot oven door would be a concern.

When I lived in my apartment long ago I did much of my cooking using a conventional oven which was tiny. I’m still amazed at all the things I could cook in that thing.

The interaction between mother and child while teaching baking skills is priceless and something to treasure forever. Before I went to kindergarten my mom used to bake a bit. She’d make Christmas cakes from scratch , pound cake and trifle . It was time with my mom that was joyous.

Did your daughter teach her kids to bake also?
