I honestly think there are times when giving yourself the grace to heal emotionally is more important than the weight loss. I think if you push yourself too much, you end up worse off.
That being said, one of the biggest things for me is not having tempting foods in the house (yes, I'm talking to you, candy corn that I just threw out!). If it's not there, you can't eat it. Making sure you don't let yourself get too hungry because that's when we make the worst choices. And, lastly, having healthy snacks available for those times when you just want to munch.
Big hugs to you, Tracey. What you've gone through and are going through is really tough.
