How to avoid rewarding/punishing yourself with «bad» food?

Hi! First post here, hopefully this fits in here! I (F25) have been struggeling with overweight my entire life. I’ve never been one to overeat and my overweight is due to some hormonal imbalance and the one thing that seems to work is strict ketodiet that I honestly have a very good relationship with. The problem is that if I go through a rough period I start to struggle with planning and then I end up with this thought in my head:

«You’ve been doing such a good job lately, you -deserve- to enjoy that cookie/pasta/McDonalds nuggets etc etc.» OR «You suck anyway and this shit doesn’t work anymore, feel free to shame yourself as you dive into this feast of carbs and sugar».

I’ve always been someone who takes a lot of joy in eating something tasty, sugary and loaded with carbs, so much that now I’ts a reward and a safetyblanket. If I feel good I celebrate with unhealthy food, if I am sad I use it as comfort and this does not go well with keto needless to say.

I started back on keto again a week ago at 132 kg (291 lbs), I’ve lost 3,7kg (8 lbs) so far and I am really motivated this time, but I could really need some advice on how to change my mind when it comes to finding non-food related rewards and comfort. So of anyone has any ideas, please share them!
