The world needs more love
I just heard this term the other day, but unfortunately it applies to me to some degree.

I've gained weight due to lack of normal activity. Not 19 pounds, but still it's rather depressing.
 

At first during this pandemic I didn't gain any, even lost a little bit. In the past few mos. though I have disregarded my diet to some extent and gained about 10 pounds. I started keeping a weight list and weigh myself about every 2 or 3 days now. I had gained a little more but got it down a few pounds so far. I really don't need any extra weight, that's for sure.
 

I gained during the initial lockdown/panic in the spring when I was buying way too much to survive the Apocolypse.

Now I've drifted down to about where I was.

I'm also buying a more sensible selection and amount of groceries each week instead of shopping as though it was for my last meal.

My weight has stayed steady but only because I've been very disciplined throughout. I could have easily put on ten pounds or more with the stress of the pandemic, the boredom and constant access to food, the stress of the spring & summer deaths of George Floyd and others plus the resulting civil unrest, and the stress of the upcoming election.

This has been an extremely anxious year for most of the world, and particularly so for Americans.
