I live and work in one of the countries that is basically all but shut down at the moment. The only things that are open are grocery stores, gas stations and pharmacies. We're all supposed to stay indoors and away from people with the local police enforcing keeping people inside. Yes, awesome, social distancing is the way to go.
Except... when I'm at home with nothing to do, it seems like all I do (and all I can do) is EAT.
On normal days, I have a super busy job and am lucky if I have coffee and a snack at lunch leaving me plenty of calories for a normal dinner. That and trying to get out of the house as much as possible have been key to my weight loss efforts, because I already know that when I'm at home and at loose ends, I eat. Under lockdown, work has ground to a halt and I'm literally laying in bed answering emails and watching Netflix most of the day. Worse, one of the ways I like to occupy myself and break up the stress is cooking... it's a way to care for my family and control things that can't be controlled. But cooking (and baking, which is my husband's hobby) which means eating. Even keeping it healthy -- which is tough, since we're not supposed to be out getting fresh produce -- it's starting to take a toll.
Anyone else struggling with this issue? Any suggestions?
