To think that unlike Adele, lots of us are getting bigger after lockdown?

Having been reading about Adele's amazing weight loss, I feel as though I've performed a similar feat in reverse! I'm normally slim and healthy, I haven't been overeating that much during lockdown, so assume that it's just that I'm less active. I weighed myself this morning and have put on over half a stone! Speaking to friends, quite a few seem to have the same issue. AIBU to think that lots of people are gaining weight during lockdown? Or am I in denial and others are getting healthier, like Adele?

Not for me - with the kids home and us having to run around them and work I hardly have time to eat - I eat leftovers from their food and when they have their lunch/dinner I’m working so if anything I’ve lost weight.

Low carb all the way Ablemaybel

Been on Keto since 27 Jan after a lifelong addiction to sugar and lost a slow & steady 1 stone 4lbs since then. I swear if I hadn’t gone through the Keto flu aka sugar detox back then I’d be shovelling chocolate & cake in my mouth on an hourly basis during lockdown. It’s the one thing I can control during these mad times. Didn’t even think about food until lunchtime today and I have always been obsessed with food since waking before now.
Dietdoctor.com is my new best friend.
Not exercising much though.....

"@Gwenhwyfar you need to go out. You’ll get rickets!"

I take Vitamin D. I wear spf all the time anyway.
I go out on the weekends, but can't motivate myself during the week.
Work during the day. I could go during my lunchbreak, but I prefer to eat and actually have a break on the sofa.
I have a Zoom call around 7 most nights so, while I could go between 5 and 7, I prefer to stay in, watch some TV and make dinner.
Been out for about an hour today and yesterday. Probably won't do as much tomorrow as the weather won't be as good.
