Is anyone else finding stress, working at home a terrible combination?

Food wise?

I’m really struggling. I’m still having to work and over see my child doing theirs (latter not so bad as the teachers have kindly set out work each day).

The work stress of commuting etc has been eliminated Which has been great but work for me continues. I’m finding it very hard with all the family home (not his fault as me who makes the decisions) but cakes, bread, biscuits all the things my husband and s children love in the house being readily available. I have started going to the kitchen when bored and stressed. If I wasn’t working it would be much easier.

I have lots to be grateful for and this isn’t a moan (as much as it sounds like one). I’m not in a bad situation I’m just really struggling to not turn to food all day long. I seem to have lost all willpower. I have none, nada. I may wake one day and pack myself a good lunch but by 10.00 am looking at my work schedule setting up kids work I’m “I want a snack now” chocolate biscuits and milk chocolate heaven. I actually had forgotten how good all this sugary stuff tastes when a bit stressed.

I suppose Looking for Consolidarity. Help!

@Itshotoday I've just found your thread and yes, that is me too! Working from home is meaning I spend longer sitting at my desk and even less time moving. Plus it's such a short trip to the kitchen cupboards.

Are you hoping to lose weight? I need to lose at least 2 stone. I'd lost 7lbs in Feb/March but have put it all back on again during lockdown. We were meant to be going abroad in July so that had been my incentive but now that's not going to happen so I seem to have thought "sod it" I'll eat what I want. Which I don't really want

Mine's down to wine as well. I don't usually drink during the week but have been having a glass most nights.

So from today, I'm going to be more active and eat less!

Oops I have only just seen this so sorry Millie. How are you getting on?

I think although you have regained what you had lost at leat you haven’t gained (I think v hard to avoid currently). It’s trying to find that motivation, I’ve found food has become more of a focus generally. Every day I seem to be getting a “oh sod it” moment.

Anyway, late reply, hope you’re ok and would love to hear how you’re getting on.
