CW: weight gain/loss

I've put on at least 3 stone of weight this year. I'm trying to lose it but anxiety eating + the constant exhaustion is making it slow-going. In a month I'm seeing some friends and family and even though it's very silly I am SO nervous about being seen. https://twitter.com/lucysmooshy/status/1292817952279011328

My size doesn't have anything to do with how much I'm worth as a person. No one I love will care even slightly about what I weigh. But somehow I am still afraid to be seen in this new, larger body.

I don't know what the point of this thread is, except to say that I bet there are heaps of us who've found this sudden lifestyle shift difficult in terms of bringing up weight/food issues and I see you and I love you.
