Maybe switch up running for swimming or trail runs. Or start doing some interval training. Changing up what you're doing is often key. Given the distances you're likely quite used to running now. You probably know all that - but it's worth mentioning. Swimming is sometimes incredibly good for keeping off the weight if you're new to it. Basically your upper body doesn't have aerobic capacity like your legs. It's not used to, or designed for aerobic activity. So if you're not used to it it'll burn a ton of calories and exhaust you quite a bit.

Yes, I am eating far more than I should. Like I said, I constantly feel like I need a snack.
Funny that you mention swimming. I was losing the weight when I was swimming 1.5h 3x week. I quit because Ottawa budget cuts slashed bus routes, making it hard to get to the pool. That's when I started gaining weight back. Maybe I should force myself to take the trip out.
But I know I have to stop eating 3000 calories per day. Even with the exercise, it's hard to maintain any kind of reasonable weight eating that much food.
