Tips for changing one’s relationship with food

So about three months ago my (27F) boyfriend (25M) and I started trying to lose weight together (we were deployed for almost a year followed by COVID and we each gained about 20 pounds). At first, my weight came off easily and I lost 14 pounds through making healthier food choices, IF, and working out 5-6 days a week. I typically do light cardio/weightlifting. Running is hard on my knees so until I lose a little more weight I’m just sticking with the light cardio. I’m 5’10 and I’m currently around 186 pounds (SW: ~200lbs). I’d like to get down to 145. I’m still working out about 5 times a week, but my biggest stumbling block right now is food. When I had depression a few years ago, I would use food to make myself feel better. I’m not depressed anymore, but the problem is I slip back into my old habits after a month or so of healthy habits. I am maintaining my weight loss right now but I’m worried it will start to creep back up on me. Eating healthy makes me feel like I’m depriving myself of the things I love. It makes me miserable, even though I know it shouldn’t. I know I have to change this relationship with food but I don’t know how. Has anyone else had an unhealthy relationship with food? How did you fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
