For some people beating obesity is just a matter of making it a goal, but that can make those kind of people think it would be as easy for everybody else, if that was the case it would not be such a serious public health concern as it is now.

The effects of the pandemic in the obesity problem are complicated, at the same time can act motivating people to lose weight and making it difficult to do it, so it is understandable that even know it is not easy to fully calculate how much it has made it better or worse.

The most important thing is that obesity do not only predispose people to complications of COVID, so this timing (with the scare of the pandemic still fresh, but the chances to do something about your weight opening again) is perfect for health authorities to support the people into correcting their habits, this could make a huge impact.
