How to NOT Gain Weight During Quarantine
by Meggan Larson
How are you doing, friend? These are unprecedented times that seem to get crazier with each passing day. I see a lot of people stress-eating because they’re worried about everything going on right now. I’m seeing a lot of extra baking happening, and that’s great!
The trick is…
Not to eat it all, though. Stress eating is NOT your friend right now, especially with all of the gyms being closed. I kind of take my day-to-day life for granted sometimes because, honestly, nothing has changed for my family. We are always home together because I homeschool, and my husband takes the winters off. I did find myself falling into the trap of stress eating, though. The more I read about the virus on social media, the less I cared about what I was eating.
That’s a trap, though! Eating sugar, grains, and processed foods right now is going to lower your immune system. Do you know what else is going to do that? FEAR! Now is not the time to panic, friend. Now is the time to eat well, go for walks (practicing social distancing, of course), spend time with family (if you’re at home with your kids right now), and limit your exposure to the negativity on social media.
Do some extra baking with your kids, but let them eat the extra calories. Give yourself grace, but don’t let that be a license to eat everything in sight. If you haven’t been taking immune-boosting supplements until now, PLEASE get some and start taking them. If this virus has taught us anythin,g it’s that everything can change in the blink of an eye.
Stay well, friends! If you’d like me to pray with you, please reach out. These are tumultuous times, but God is still in control.

Meggan Larson is a wife, mom of three, and a challenge overcomer! Diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and undergoing aggressive chemotherapy, when her second-born child was only three months old, gave Meggan an expected twist to her life. Dealing with pregnancy weight gain and the debilitating effects of chemotherapy, Meggan’s weight soared to over 228 pounds. Feeling humiliated with no desire to socialize, Meggan was desperate for a change. Shortly after losing 20 pounds with the Trim Healthy Mama program, Meggan found out she was pregnant with baby number three, which ended in an emergency C-section and unexpected hysterectomy. Despite the challenges she faced, Meggan has just celebrated her one-year “trimiversary”, and her success of releasing just over 60 pounds! Meggan is confident that her success on plan is “doable” for anyone looking to gain back their health and wanting to live a trim and healthy lifestyle!
