Stop looking at food as the enemy (which I tend to do as well sometimes). It is here to nourish your body. If you don't eat enough food, it will start eating its own muscle. The diet clearly works for you, so believe in it and trust in the process, as slow as it may feel. That kind of loss is slow but steady, which will get you to the finish line and keep you at maintenance. Look at this as a life long marathon and not a sprint. Make sure that the calories are coming from nutrient dense sources.
If all that doesn't work, consider preplanning your meals in advance. That way, you just eat it the next day without giving the emotions too much power.
I hope that helps!
