Distract yourself from eating.
What I mean is: while I was making bank in tech I was on the road to getting married and establish myself as a tech expert, which means dating, networking, getting to know people (I'm an introvert, so it's rough). I'd spend time on a date with people and not necessarily starve myself, but food took a back seat to taking a walk, starting a chat, just getting to know people. As someone who has always battled his weight I was finally starting to look like I WANTED to look.
But then when I hit a financial snag (a string of bad clients/employers--would NOT recommend this career move) I was basically financially constrained to my house. No going out, not even to a coffee shop. Without the privilege of going out and finding friends/love/acceptance can you guess how I have to find comfort? You guessed it! Even though I stay active I've found it's very hard to keep weight down.
I only say this to make the point: if you can afford it, distract yourself from food.
