I don't weigh myself but my pants are definitely looser (and I didn't need/want to lose weight). I attribute this to me rationing food somewhat, since we're trying to grocery shop as infrequently as possible and it's hard to get delivery slots (major hard-hit city, no car). Like, not intentionally starving myself or anything, but being mindful of eating smaller portions to stretch out our supply, and thinking really carefully about whether I really need another serving.
I also signed up for a CSA to ensure there's fresh produce arriving here weekly without me needing to do anything, so I'm eating way more vegetables than normal.
My partner got laid off and has lost 12 lbs in 2 months (and he does need/want to lose weight). He says he's not really trying to, he's just going for daily walks to get out of the house, is not surrounded by vending machines/office sweets/the multiple places to get unhealthy lunches downtown, and, most importantly, I think, is no longer in a toxic job that abused him for 10 years. He says it's easy to eat small portions and not gorge himself, even though being jobless is stressful, because the stress pales in comparison to what was happening at the office each day.
