Anxiety/Depression related weight loss

40f - 5’4” 194lbs—>154lbs goal:133lbs

TL;DR I’ve lost weight due to major depression and anxiety, now I want to keep that weight off in the healthiest way possible.

I started out on a healthy weight loss journey back in December 2018, working out two to three times per week, eliminating processed foods, and monitoring food portions. I had lost a slow 15 pounds and was thrilled with the changes in my overall health. (HR 50’s, BP 100’s/60s, increased energy, skin looked great)

This month, I hit a major challenge in my 20+ year marriage, cycled into severe depression and anxiety, and lost all appetite. In short, I can barely eat without feeling nauseated, and I’m rarely hungry. I know that I need to eat and I’m trying to make healthful choices when I do. I’ve lost an additional 30 pounds this month. I’m in therapy after a brief hospitalization for my mental health, and I’m working towards rebuilding the healthy habits that got me the first 15lbs.

Are there any tips for preventing regaining the weight I’ve lost? I figure that if I’ve already gone thru hell, I don’t want to rebound and revisit it trying to get this weight off again later.
