Almost 1.______half___ of my fellow Britons (47%) say they have put on

weight during the coronavirus quarantine. It’s kind of obvious why – we are
2._____eating___ more because we are bored. Furthermore, we have less
opportunity for exercise. When you are bored, and the fridge or the biscuit
tin are just one room away, it is very easy to just 3.________ that door or
that tin lid. Then you tell yourself: a tiny slice of cake or one little bar of
chocolate won’t hurt. But it all adds 4. ________ ! On top of all this
temptation, the opportunities for exercise are very limited. 5.________ are
closed and team sports are banned. So, you find yourself on the sofa or in your
6.________, with your laptop on your knee, the TV on. And you think to yourself: a 7.________ of
crisps would be nice. Then you think: one packet is so small! I will have one more packet and I will
8.________ after that. Ten minutes later, a family member is in the kitchen, making cheese on toast.
It smells nice! ‘Just do me a slice, luv,’ you shout. You feel guilty, but oh, just one slice of 9._______
on toast won’t harm. Then of course, you are getting into cooking and baking! Savouries like samosas,
exotic curries, home-made pizza and sweets like banana loaf and chocolate cake, all beautifully
decorated. First you 10.________ it for your social media pages and then you sample it. Then you
sample a bigger piece. And so it goes on. You are bored – you eat. Stressed? You eat. No routine,
nothing to do? Eat something. So, what 11.________ you do? You know all about healthy eating and
exercise, 12.________ you? So you can get onto a healthy eating regime. Or, like me, you can hold
your fire and be kind to yourself. Coronavirus will pass and you can get back to 13.________ at that
point. So, at about 7 o’clock in the evening, when another family member gets himself a cold beer, I
shout: ‘Just pour me a 14.________ of wine, luv, please!’ Well, just one, that’s not too bad, is it?
