Are you stuck at home and you can’t stop overeating or snacking?
When you’re stuck at home for some reason, many sources of pleasure and fun activities are removed from your life, e.g. social activities, travelling, going to restaurants, going to the gym, swimming pool, shopping, you name it.
No wonder eating has a more comforting, pleasure-giving role in your life now than it used to and this may result in eating more than usual.
Do you work from home and find yourself overeating way too often? Do you snack all afternoon and stand in front of the fridge more often than you would like to admit?
If you want to prevent weight gain and want to stop unnecessary snacking when you work from home, you need to stop for a few seconds before you eat. Ask yourself: Am I hungry?
If yes, go ahead and eat something nutritious so you won´t get hungry again in a few minutes.
No?
Take a deep breath and check in with your feelings/emotions? What do you feel? What do you think?

You sabotage your attempts to improve yourselves or your life and you have no idea why you keep doing this, you might even feel like something is wrong with you. Why are we acting like our own enemies? 
As an example, let’s discuss a typical health-related self-sabotage topic: overeating.
