Why can I stop eating?

I've struggled with my weight for all of my adult life. I gained a lot during University due to the combination of lots of drinking and late night eating which continued into my mid 20s. I had a good phrase of being exercising and eating well when I turned 30, but since becoming a father 3 years ago I've struggled to find time to exercise and have developed a secret eating habit.

I work from home which means I've basically got access to my kitchen and no one around during the day to help "contain" my eating. I don't know how word that bit right, but for example I wouldn't order a pizza for lunch i or eat an entire pack of cookies in work because it isn't socially acceptable, but I often do this at home.

This secret eating isn't helped by the fact I have a very sedentary life. I walk my kid the 10 minutes to daycare and then sit at my desk most of the day. I'll go out at lunch, but normally to buy or replace food I've eaten.

I don't even really enjoy the food I am eating anymore, but I just keep stuffing my face and I am concerned it is becoming a genuine problem. It is making me unhappy, but I can't seem to stop.

I'll break out of it for a bit and do really well, but it is only a matter of weeks before I slip back into old habits. I know what to do, but I keep putting it off - I'll start on Monday, I'll have one last binge etc.

Any advice for getting past this mentality?
