I would imagine I won't see many people at the beach with masks on anymore, but then again, never thought I would see that to begin with so I guess you never know. I imagine any locations that deal with travel will still see high mask usage and same with cities. I also imagine you would start to see more private business keep mask requirements to the extent owner/employees have conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I will be: - More conscious of washing/sanitizing my hands before I eat if I am out. Something I probably never thought of when going out to get food pre-COVID. Obviously post bathroom wash my hands, but just walking into a restaurant, touching car door handles, door knobs, glasses, menus, etc. and then eating...going to be more cognizant of that. - Shopping local, always been a big Costco/Amazon person, moving forward I am going to do what I can to support more smaller local businesses where my dollar matters a lot more. - Masks...I hate them, but once work is back in an office setting and I need to be in NYC again, I 100% will be wearing a masks on any public transportation I need to use.

The fat acceptance movement is crazy in this country.......and I'm saying that as a guy who seven months ago weighed almost 400, and now coming in under 280. I just don't understand.

You are just introducing an argument that literally wasn't made. I'm entertaining the question, but I need to understand what you are actually asking and why.

I suspect a part of the reason is that its hard to lose weight and it can be even harder to eat healthy(ish)? who doesnt love delicious pizza, pasta, burgers etc, etc etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the positivity/transmission rate is high enough to warrant it, then yes. You are simplifying an incredibly complex and nuanced question. If the science dictates that a mitigation or prevention measure is warranted, then I support it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have cheat days with what I am doing. I have absolutely sacrificed at lunch, but I still make the same dinners for myself (and sometimes have dessert) instead of going out as much. I have the same breakfast, but just substituted turkey sausage and added oatmeal instead of cereal. I also try to watch carbs as far as bread goes, as well as drastically cutting down my fast food intake and cutting sodas and other liquid calories almost completely. I understand people want to be happy in their skin, and if they are happy being somewhat overweight, that's fine with me. But when you get to the point of morbidly obese like I was, something has to change. You can't just keep your head in the sand anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
