[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people stress-eat. Some people cannot resist snacking all day when they are steps from the kitchen. Some people feel like they need gyms to work out/don’t have a home gym/can’t take the heat to go outside. Some people no longer have childcare available. Really OP, you can’t think of any reasons?[/quote]
Agree.
And for me, due to my position (IT project manager rolling out MS teams to the company) I worked crazy hours for the first 3 months. I was teleworking, but I was putting in 80 hour weeks.  A lot of stress eating. 
I was getting messages from 6 AM until 11 PM every day.
Not everyone teleworking had it easy.[/quote]

Also, not getting enough sleep can lead to weight gain, because inadequate sleep messes with the hormones that govern hunger and satiety.  Inadequate sleep increases levels of the hormone that stimulates your appetite and reduces the levels of the hormone that decreases it.  Plus, being sleep deprived undercuts your ability to exercise willpower.  It also messes with your blood sugar/insulin levels.  So people who were working crazy hours, or were having trouble sleeping because of stress or depression, might have gained weight because of the effects of the lack of sleep.  [/quote]
