Obesity was designated a global epidemic, socially patterned, in the twenty‐first century. However, since March 2020, COVID‐19 has exacerbated this phenomenon. The effects of the stressful space‐time context of lockdown on the eating habits and lifestyles of both adults and children in families are the context in which covibesity originated. From a sociological perspective, covibesity is a situational obesity which, as a result of a confined life, has exposed a huge number of families to health, social, and economic risks. Guided by the scientific literature that has analyzed the “stay home” scenario in these months of pandemic, this entry describes covibesity by focusing on eating habits and lifestyles. The life‐course perspective sheds light on how important it is to immediately detect and correct unhealthy social trajectories, even when they are unexpected, especially from early childhood. Despite the difficulties, the new normality is also an opportunity to respond to the spillover effects of covibesity by tracing paths – individual, social, and political – that attempt to empower families despite their vulnerabilities
