The Kitchen Table with Alicia Brown
Health & Fitness:Nutrition
So many are fearful or ashamed of weight gain correlated with changes due to the coronavirus. Having just tested positive, I speak on feeling triggered (fearful, anxious and overwhelmed with emotion) and how this impact is mental, emotional, and could very naturally be associated with weight gain. I discuss two polarizing reactions to the trigger (being covid), reflecting on how some desire to tighten control during this time while others “let go” (or detach) more. I then normalize possible weight by explaining how stress, greater access to food, the sense of deprivation of food, and the influx of our schedules, all trigger behaviors and bodily responses we might be aware or unaware of. By understanding triggers and our bodies' natural, protective responses to them, we might be able to arrive at a place of acceptance or neutrality pertaining to weight changes during this time.
