Struggling to get back on track after weeks of overeating

I started my weight loss journey 2 years ago and lost in total 40kg. I reached my goal weight and have been working on maintaining it for a few months. However 19 days ago I completely fell off the maintenance wagon and started eating pretty much anything I had restricted because I was eating clean for 2 years. After 19 days I've gained back 8kg. I feel awful and regret pigging out so much, I now have to work even harder to get back to my goal weight.

Every day is the same story : breakfast and lunch are healthy and normal sized, and then in the afternoon I crave something sweet, let myself have a snack because I don't want to feel restricted, and that suddenly triggers me wanting more and more sweets until my stomach is so bloated it hurts. And then every evening I spend a few hours brainstorming how I'm gonna avoid doing it again tomorrow.

Please, any tips on how to break the cycle of overeating during the day, going to bed thinking "tomorrow I'll eat at maintenance and not stuff myself" and then just overeating the next day again? I'm spiraling in guilt.
