With that amazing achievement, I don't understand how you could say you lack motivation! C'mon, you lost 60 pounds! Do you have any idea how big of a deal that is? You say that you did it with such offhandedness that I don't think you really understand how fantastic that sounds to have been able to do that. I'm sure it was hard, but it definitely took motivation to achieve.
Anyway, about the stress eating: you've gotten the first step bang on, and that's addressing the issue. From here, you gotta find something else that does the same thing for you. A stress "glass of water" works for me. You've got a dog. What about "stress walks" or "stress snuggles"?
You need a reason? How about this: you owe it to all the hard work you did before! You shouldn't let all your hard work and effort go to waste. You can do it! *rubs your shoulders like a boxing trainer* Don't give up.
