Lost 5kg in a month and gained 2kg back because depression hit and I don't know how to get out.

As the title says, I lost 5kg by the end of August. I was doing really well with my food choices and I was exercising for 15-30 minutes a day a few times a week. I felt pretty good. I could see that my body was doing what it needed to do, as long as I was putting in the effort.

Then, out of nowhere, I started feeling hopeless. Depression hit me hard and I found myself going to food for comfort. I'd wake up and as soon as my eyes opened I'd immediately feel the sadness. I'm so aware of the choices I make but in the moment (usually at the end of the day once my kids are in bed) I feel it the most then I binge.

Thankfully it's no more than 2kgs that I've gained but that's still 2kgs extra I'll need to lose, which means more time. I'm on medication and seeing a psychologist but she doesn't see it as an issue right now.

TLDR; How do you force yourself to make choices when you're depressed?
