after weeks of steady weight loss and disciplined eating, i find i am mind-numbingly hungry and unable to stay within my calorie count

i, f31, have lost maybe 20kilos since I was at my highest weight. currently around 77/78kgs (tho I havent weighed myself for a few days).

i put on a couple kilos recently because i was away from home for four months straight, eating too much sugar to compensate for the depression/anxiety of being in a miserable and oftentimes scary relationship, and generally not in a place to look after myself.

i am back home now, thankfully out of the relationship, and actually started losing a lot of the extra weight through dedicated calorie counting.

[if it helps, i am not particularly fussed about being exact about my calorie count, though i never try to eat more calories by tracking workouts. i weigh everything i eat on a food scale.]

anyway, all was well the past few weeks, i was tracking calories religiously, and even when i binged or went over my count, i made sure to keep a rigid account of everything. and i was losing weight too.

but the past couple days have been rough af. i dont know if its anxiety / stress because of some financial stuff thats been going on at home or just a prelude to my period, but i get so fucking hungry i can't bear it. i have been over my calorie count almost every single day this week.

anyone else experience this? and if so what do you do? i tried to reign it in today, and was really good all day, but then at around 11pm i got so hungry i knew i would be up all night with hunger pangs if i didnt eat literally a second dinner. and that's what i did. i ate a second dinner, i feel physically satisfied but mentally/emotionally so guilty.

i dont even have the guts the step on the scale-havent checked the damage for nearly a week now.

any help/advice/similar experiences would be great!
