Finally broke the 120’s and all it took was getting COVID

This is a bittersweet post.

I started experiencing COVID symptoms at the end of January before testing positive for COVID-19 on February 3, 2021. I was consistently weighing in around 132-133lbs. I wasn’t trying to lose weight, I’ve been trying to maintain and move away from the manic calorie counting. (Plus I’m getting married in June and I can’t gain or lose weight otherwise my dress won’t fit, haha)

Once I got COVID, there was this huge ordeal and I had to isolate in a shit hotel (with brown stains all over the bedding, black hair in the shower when I’m blonde) The hotel gave me three shitty meals a day (every meal came with a regular Pepsi and when I asked for water/diet they said they had none). Good thing one of the COVID symptoms is a loss of appetite. I had to force myself to eat and aimed to choke back one meal a day.

Although I am now technically “recovered”, I know I’m not “better”. I’m still having chest pain and shortness of breath (which I hate because I’m left wondering if I’ll ever be able to be physically active again), but also my appetite is still gone. I decided to weigh myself yesterday and saw I was at 129.4lbs. I felt happy but also sad? The weight loss is a reminder of the illness. It’s a reminder of how shit these last few weeks have been. I’ve never been in the 120s in my life, but I also wasn’t really looking for it.

Anyway, if you want to lose some weight, the COVID diet works. (For real, don’t get COVID. Stay safe)
