I haven’t really eaten much for about a week now

I’m starving but everything tastes dry and stodgy

I’ve lost a few pounds which is welcome news

Just trying to find an upside to this shit show! any stories?

Sadly nothing - I ate like a horse 😱 Must have put on about 2 kg due to all the eating and no gym

None, I was stuck in the house with all the Christmas food.

hesbeen2021 · 01/04/2022 13:30

Nothing either time. Never lost my appetite

Ohhhthepain · 01/04/2022 13:31

None despite not eating and being sick a lot. Typing this using my belly to prop up the iPad 😂

Half a stone in 4 days, didn’t bother eating and only drank water, as I couldn’t smell or taste a thing. I made up for it though once it came back, and put it all back on.

None. In fact I ate more I think, despite feeling nauseous. It is a weird illness. I usually stop eating completely when I’m ill.

Everydaydayisaschoolday · 01/04/2022 13:43

None at all so far but it's tough. I'm 8 days into it. I don't feel ill at all and haven't lost my sense of taste but I am bored out of my brains with staying home. It's taking all my will power not to phone out for a giant pizza just for something to look forward to.

Adult DCs sent me some lovely chocolates on Mother's Day but I don't dare open them because if I eat one I might plough through the entire box.

I've just received my grocery delivery (properly socially distanced and masked of course) and I've got steak , salad and champagne and I intend to treat myself tonight whilst watching Bridgerton.

About half a stone
No sense of taste for about 2 weeks and just didn't feel much like eating, plus wine tasted like cleaning fluid!

ComDummings · 01/04/2022 13:48

Nothing, I actually had more of an appetite while I was ill. Like I was hangry as fuck. It was bizarre.

Delatron · 01/04/2022 13:53

Nothing. It was near Christmas and I was really hungry. Normally run 5 times a week, have an active job etc so the hunger was not a good thing!

marjayy · 01/04/2022 14:02

3lbs so far and I'm on day 3.

I'm hungry but have no appetite. It's more that I can't breathe through my nose at all and eating makes me feel like I'm suffocating.

ReadyToMoveIt · 01/04/2022 14:07

None, I had it over Christmas and indulged as I usually do over Christmas! Probably put on a couple of lbs.

ReadyToMoveIt · 01/04/2022 14:07

Oh and I obviously couldn’t leave the house so couldn’t do my usual exercise which didn’t help.

Wellthisiscrapeh · 01/04/2022 14:09

i gained 10lb in two weeks.

I was ravenous and couldn’t stop eating. I was praying to lose my taste and smell as that may have slowed me down. It never happened.

etulosba · 01/04/2022 14:23

I lost just over a stone.

HereWeGoAgain322 · 01/04/2022 22:32

6lbs in 4 days. This was March 2020. Soon gained it back. Grr.

tiredanddangerous · 01/04/2022 22:33

Nothing. Being ill makes me hungry.

GettinPiggyWithIt · 01/04/2022 22:41

Gosh, I had no idea covid makes so many people hungry 😩

At 4 stone overweight, I am simply grateful that I’ve lost my interest in eating 💪
