This is going to sound weird but does anyone feel like they got too fat from the pandemic and is having anxiety about going back into the office? I’m probably gained like 100lbs and I’m here thinking I rather apply for a wfh job than go back in and look like a slob. I dunno maybe it’s just me. Thoughts?

Honestly, i would have the same anxiety. I would ask to have an extended WFH agreement for health reasons and see what they say. In todays environment, they really cannot say no. If they do, then yeah i would start your search.

And why is that?

I only gained like 45 pounds, but started a diet Jan 1st and down 15 alrdy. Thankfully offices are ghost towns the few times I’ve gone in, but had to buy new clothes just for those few times going in. Hoping to get the weight off before going back regularly.

Totally understand. What i learned is if i paid ~$150 a month on these programs, i didn’t have an excuse to snooze in the morning. I caught myself too many times cancelling at home workouts to get some more Zzs or some other bullshit excuse. If you have the mental toughness, by all means wear out that garage gym, but if you aren’t seeing actual results, try a free week trial. It can’t hurt and they have classes as early as 5am and as late as 6pm.
