'My pants didn't fit': Travelers checking in at fitness resorts to drop pandemic pounds
CNN
After more than a year of ordering take-out, watching Netflix and working from home -- often facing enormous stress, anxiety and depression -- many travelers are turning to weight loss and fitness resorts for a reset.
(CNN) — If the "baking elf" hadn't spent the pandemic whipping up sweet confections, Frances Hohl might not have gained 25 pounds. But the magical pastry chef -- aka Hohl's 19-year-old daughter, Casmere, who was doing college remotely -- calmed her Covid anxiety by baking fabulous creations almost every night: Strawberry shortcakes and chocolate chip cookies and French macarons and lemon meringue pies. She once even made a wedding cake. Never mind that no marriage was taking place. Hohl couldn't ignore her daughter's efforts. Nor did she want to. "Wedding cake is my favorite," says Hohl, 56, a writer in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.More Related News
