That's right I got the Rona. I'm young and relatively healthy, but I'm also obese, but I'm always a chipper kinda guy so forgive me if I come off a little too chipper in lou of others being hospitalized.
But something I've realized is that since losing my taste buds and sense of smell, is just how much my eating habits is tied to taste and smell. I don't even feel like eating that much because I can't taste anything. And usually I eat fast, so you would think I'm not missing anything. But I am. Like you really don't know what you got till it's gone. My parents went to get BBQ. I didn't even want BBQ. I just went to get McDonald's on my cheat day. The only thing I can feel on my touch is the feeling or texture of the food and the spiciness of the food. But other than that, if it's sweet, I can't tell. If it's dull, I don't know. Sour I can sense, I tried eating a lemon and that was tough.
So long story short guys, No matter how healthy you are, this shit can and will affect you. Losing your sense of taste and smell aint no joke. I can't tell if what Im eating is good or bad. Whether it's been seasoned right or wrong. If what Im cooking is burnt or not. So yea you might survive but you will not get past this shit unscathed. You will come away with a scar. My scar is losing my ability to enjoy food. I normally don't snack, but I tried snacking it and I couldn't, I just put the bag of chips up. Didn't want it.
My taste buds are kinda coming back. But Obviously I'm still social distancing and wear my mask. It sneaks up on you though. You could be doing everything right and it gone catch you slipping. It caught me slipping. Don't let it catch you. And no this won't help you lose weight don't try to catch it to help you eat less. That's not how this works.
