(28F, SW: 205lbs, CW: 180lbs, GW: 155lbs) At the beginning of 2020, I was working in the office, there was a weight loss challenge going, and I was walking a lot as part of my commute. Things were going well with my self-improvement and fitness.
Then lockdown hit and that all changed. First off, my commute is now 25 steps. 25 steps from my bed to my desk. No running to catch trains, walking to the bus stop, and no physical activity at all.
The other change is the work dress code. Instead of "smart casual" I went to sweatpants. No one can see me, so why would I wear jeans to sit at my desk chair for 10 hours? And so, fow many months I have sat and eaten. And GAINED.
I didn't notice for the longest time though. Sweatpants are so comfy and forgiving, I didn't notice any change. During lockdown I put on almost 20lbs but didn't see any difference.
Now for the paradox. The past 3 months, I've changed my habits. I bought a stationary bike (and have used it!) starting counting calories again and made sure to get out for a walk every day. In the past 3 months, I've lost 25lbs. It is COMPLETELY unnoticeable. My sweatpants still feel like they fit the way they did 3 months ago at over 200lbs.
I've realized that, despite this, I am still making progress. I might not see a difference, but the numbers don't lie. Maybe one day, when I can finally go back to the office, I'll even need new work trousers. For now though, I will stay comfy and keep grinding.
If you're feeling like you're not seeing any changes, don't worry. You are!
