I’m also retired, an introvert, I live alone. Mostly carnivore these days so I’m finding it way easier to comply. I’m pretty much just staying at home. Florida declares a state lockdown effective today - no going out except for essentials. I did go out yesterday to renew my dog’s arthritis medication, and some chicken salad that a cool St. Augustine restaurant (Chicken Salad Chick) was making a special delivery run to our area for.
Since I live alone I don’t have many carby things around, and the ones I do have (Mac and cheese, mini-muffins) are mainly for when the grandkids come over though, sadly, they are not coming over now for their usual visits and sleepovers. But I’m not tempted by that food.
I do still have some of my “treat” foods around (mixed nuts, dark chocolate) but haven’t been too tempted by it. Had a bit of nuts a couple times in the last few weeks.
Confession though. It was my birthday the other day (March 30) and my DiL and grandkids dropped off a big basket of chocolates from my favorite local chocolatier!! Mostly their milk chocolates which I confess are still my faves. So for two days I ate chocolate!
But I’ve put what’s left into the freezer now and I’m back on the straight and narrow. Quite easy to comply when I don’t want to go out anywhere in public.
I got my usual big Costco TP and paper towel stash early in March, before the madness started, so should have paper goods to last until June at least. I have a lot of meat in the freezer, I have eggs, cheese, heavy cream, butter. I have lots of cans of tuna, sardines, smoked oysters, Spam. I have bone broth protein powder. I have decaf coffee beans, Crio Bru. I just bought a SodaStream because I love my fizzy water but don’t want to go to stores to buy any. So far I’m doing well.
And I was steadily losing weight too! Though the last few days it’s been going up and up and up - probably residual from my birthday binge.
