[quote=Anonymous]Stress and sleep issues can exacerbate hormonal issues. Part of the COVID weight is probably inactivity and spending so much time at home but it's also been a really stressful year for most people. When the body is in a state of stress it 'holds onto' fat. Try to focus on your sleep hygiene and self care (walks, quiet time, etc.) and see if that helps at all. From Psychology Today: "There appears to be a triple whammy in play that makes it difficult for people who are chronically stressed to lose weight. First, stress creates the desire to eat more. Second, stress triggers the release of hormones such as cortisol and betatrophin that increase abdominal fat and slow metabolism respectively. Third, fat-to-brain signaling appears to increase stress levels as part of a feedback loop that entrenches this vicious cycle."[/quote]
