Oh, I have a twin! I also don't know how to stop the constant snacking on healthy foods when WFH. So easy to not eat at the office.

Some good advice here.
Make sure you don't get hungry by eating enough GOOD food - veggies, fruit, protein, fat. If you are hungry that cookie is going to be irresistable. But if you have a banana and almond butter instead, you'll feel better.

NP. Work is the killer for me. Someone always brings in treats, and I have to walk past them to get to my office, so it’s not even like I can just avoid the breakroom.
Same with me. Gaining weight coincided with going back to office. Jars of candy and people bring things in because they don’t want them in their house. I can’t resist.

This! I was eating a lot of "diet" foods because I was conditioned in the 90s to eat that. Once I trained myself to eat real foods and avoid the trap of boxed low-cal crap it because much easier (tho listen, never easy).

Just based on what you wrote, one thing you might try is reducing/eliminating sugar. Eating cookies and donuts = huge amounts of calories with no nutritional value and not filing. Do not eat any of it! It just causes you to eat more. Decide that you are not going to eat anything with that level of added sugar (naturally occurring sugar is fine, like in fruit) and stick to your decision. You want the healthy lifestyle more than you want cookies and donuts, so make it happen for yourself. You can do it!

I never got a handle on this until I started semaglutide, and now I can plan what I want to eat and then execute it pretty easily. I obviously don’t know if you qualify for it.
