MCO 3.0 will begin in KL tomorrow! Life will pretty much be the same for me whether it’s an MCO or CMCO. I will still be doing my daily morning jog within the compound of our condo and doing groceries shopping thrice a week. Many of my friends have told me that they have gained substantial weight during the previous two lockdowns but I have lost weight instead. I have a friend who would stock up her pantry with bags of chips, popcorns, instant noodles and snacks during each lockdown and binge eat while watching Netflix. She told me that she put on more than 5kg after each lockdown. With MCO 3.0, she says she would need a plus size shapewear when she goes back to work at the office đ If you don’t already know what a shapewear is, the below photo is one.
This global pandemic doesn’t seem to abate no matter how hard governments all across the world are trying to control it. People are suffering from pandemic fatigue and have been lackadaisical in following SOPs. Our girls have been attending online classes for almost a year and have become a tad sedentary due to lack of physical activities.
It’s really easy to gain weight during the pandemic, especially if you’re spending most of your time at home. Comfort food recipes are trending on social media. Ordering snacks and food online is made so easy that it’s really hard to resist. You find yourself thinking that an ice-cream or a bag of chips sounds great to beat cabin fever. When home quarantine restrictions ease up, people will become concerned about ‘Covid Curves’ (referring to new pounds gained) and reaching out to quick weight-loss diets and shapewear to get back into shape!
Covid-19 has created a perfect storm for people who struggle with weight. Life for many of us has been disrupted in a major way. Gym, dance studios, pools and park closures have upended exercise routines, and the stress has escalated for parents who suddenly had to work at home while teaching their children.
Are you already worried that you might not fit into your clothes after several rounds of lockdown? The best bet is to eat moderately and sensibly at all times, whether you’re sheltering at home or not. Exercise can be done indoors at home. But if you still need help in hiding that jiggly muffin top when you slip into your little black dress, get the best shapewear for tummy and waist from Shapellx to give you a temporary solution. Meanwhile, eat clean, exercise and stay safe!
