Especially like you said, late at night.

I'm weaker.

I don't have the strength in the morning of like, I'm going to eat really healthy today and exercise.

All that resolve is gone at 9 p.m.

Right.

Exactly.

Or here's a good example.

If you are watching a TV show that maybe the whole show is available online, it's tough to keep yourself from starting the next episode.

It might be 1am and you know you need to go to bed, but...

It's tough to keep yourself from hitting play on the next episode.

And all of the cliffhangers, right?

Every show now ends and you have to know what happens next.

Yes.

I haven't seen the whole thing.

I'm trying to remember where when it first came out, I was caught up and then but I don't think I've finished it.

Suddenly it's 3am and you're watching another episode of Orange is the New Black.

Totally, totally.

But we want to mention the grammar here because for the phrases we are teaching today, they're similar, but the grammar works a little bit differently.

So for this one, this chunk, keep yourself from is followed by verb ing.

So notice in these examples, keep myself from eating, keep myself from starting the next episode.
