[quote=Anonymous]I’m in CA so it’s different (raining today but generally nice weather) but our activity is still limited since we’re in an apartment. Between eliminating restaurants, trying to grocery shop as little as possible (delivery options are on strike and we weren’t really using them anyway), and therefore having no space for things like ice cream in our freezer), my husband and I are somewhat rationing and have both lost a fair bit of weight. The stress was making me lose weight too. It wasn’t a goal, but an interesting side effect.

My children (3 and 7) get treats - this morning we baked muffins and tonight I gave them chocolate milk with dinner - but I haven’t seen unexpected weight gains. Our 3 year old has a little belly but she usually does.

In theory we both work full time during the week (in reality we’re now each able to do about 25-30 hours a week and take leave) and our kids are basically being raised by screens so I won’t be surprised if they gain some weight. [/quote]
