I am not surprised that I’ve gained weight during the COVID lockdowns. I am 6’1 and now about 190 pounds on a good day, putting me squarely at a 25 BMI. What I am surprised by is that all my life, I was always the skinny kid. When I was 20, I weighed 130 pounds. A 17 BMI. Even earlier, when I was an even thinner teenager, my mom was so concerned about me being underweight that she routinely took me to get fast food and waffles in the hopes that I’d put a bit of meat on my bones.
