Losing my way with emotional eating

(SW 367, CW 291)

I was really into my new habits a few months ago, and it was working. Sticking below 1900 calories and exercising daily was easier than it had ever been- for months. I started this journey with therapy. But somewhere, my mental game has dipped. I have gained 10 lbs in the last three weeks, and been less active. I am trying to get back the mindfulness about eating and still tracking, but it’s different now. I just want more food. I suspect it has to do with feeling more hopeless about dating, but I can’t fix that for me right now. My therapist is on vacation for the next two weeks, and I’m not clear on what steps I can take to address this feeling so I stop wanting to eat so much. Knowing it’s an emotional thing isn’t stopping the physical reaction. Willpower clearly only keeps so much counterproductive behavior at bay, and it is exhausting. How can I address the root of the issue without eating four mangos a day when I used to be content with one?
