Appetite back with a vengeance

Hi everyone. I am about 13lbs away from my goal weight. Progress has been really slow the past few months. The weight I want to shift is vanity pounds though and sometimes I'm happy maintaining here. Anyway the past couple of weeks I've been feeling low and anxious about things that are happening in my life. (Bereavement, daughter leaving home, being let down.) I've not had much appetite and lost a couple of pounds which was the upside to feeling wretched.
I've been up and down emotionally for a while and I know that the things I'm dealing with are not going to magically get better soon. I might feel crap again soon. However now I'm feeling less bad at the moment I'm really hungry. I'm not fussed about putting a couple of pounds back on I'm just scared of not being able to stop eating.
