Trying to replace my coping mechanism but nothing is working.

So recently I've lost 30lbs by attending a medically supervised weight loss program in my area. It's going great so far but now I've run into a bit of a road block.

Recently, I've come under extreme stress because of everything that is going on. I'm lucky to still be employed and working, but that is hard to deal with for multiple reasons and is a story for another time.

When I'm stressed, my self discipline and self control break down to absolutely nothing. I've definitely started to teeter in the direction of falling completely off the wagon and I'm trying not to let myself do that.

But now that I've mitigated my binge eating, I've realized that I have no other coping mechanism. I'm stressed with nowhere to put it and it's starting to make me irritated and hard to be around.

I want to just fall off and eat an entire cake but that isn't going to happen. The stores around me are closed so I can't get my painting stuff and I can't go to the gym (which I was going to start) because everything is closed.

I feel like I'm going to start regressing and that's stressing me out even more. I don't know what to do anymore and all my resources are unavailable because the office is closed. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
