It blows my mind when I see people gain 50+ lbs in a year. I had a major injury several years ago that took me from training hard 1-2 hours a day to not being able to do anything other than walk. I've always been a big cook and a comfort eater by nature, and my husband was away for work the majority of that year, so suddenly there was no one to mop up 3/4 of the decadent foods I was making. Even after comfort-eating constantly because of that and the severe pain I was in, and going from burning 3000-3500 calories a day to maybe 2000, I only put on like 8 lbs in a year. Then shit stopped fitting and I no longer liked what I saw in the mirror, so I stopped baking and cooking decadent pastas with cheese and went back to eating more produce, and half the weight fell off in a month. The other half fell off in the second month once I was cleared to run short distances and started training for a 10K even though I loathe running, but that was the only physical activity that my physio said was safe for me in moderate amounts at that time. I should also note I worked an average of 65 hours a week at that time.
