It's odd. I've had some neck pain for some time. A surgeon recommends surgery (no surprise).
It's more or less prevented me from exercising the last few weeks.
What is odd is I haven't exactly gained weight while in COVID-19-induced quarantine. This is by no means because I'm in fantastic shape, or have some excellent metabolism.
It's actually a couple of things.
One is because I'm not exercising, I've been losing muscle mass due to the slow onset of atrophy. So even though I've probably put on some fat, I've dropped weight due to a decline in muscle.
The other reason is, while I've consumed a lot more sugar (never a good thing), my overall eating rate has gone down. I'm certainly not packing it in like I used to.
This lower rate of eating has coupled with the loss of muscle mass is the reason I think I've stayed at the same weight; for now.
Obviously if my metabolism slows down, eventually my weight will start to increase. I know I need to do something about it, as well as my neck. Both of those remain questions to be answered.
