Been on this journey for a while but it still all takes just one day for my eating habits to fall apart. Any solutions?

So I've been working on my weight for nearly 5 years with lots of up and downs, losing the majority of the weight the last 2 years or so, and just this past year I've made a lot of slower steadier progress regarding not only weight loss (hit 160 for the first time since 2011) but also consistently exercising.

But looking at my food log, one thing that I noticed over the years of working on this is that while I could eat healthy and lose weight steadily for months on end, I am VERY EASILY knocked out my groove with just a few days of eating a lot and it snowballs incredibly quickly. This usually happens during the holidays for obvious reasons (one huge holiday meal + subsequent days of leftovers), but there are "micro-moments" over the year where I would pig out over KBBQ on my birthday or I eat out with friends and the following days feel like a struggle to fight the urge to consume more than I usually do when I'm calorie cutting.

It kind of makes me mad that my body just won't get with the program after all this time. And I feel like if I could have some sort of M.O. for when something like this happens again I'd be able to deal with it and see better progress.

I was wondering if you've also experienced this and have any solutions?
