I'm really proud of you! I started a diet two years ago and it was really rough at first. Eventually it gets easier and becomes second nature.
I had a lot of self esteem issues at the time because I felt like I had no control over myself. I realized that every time I was tempted to eat and didn't I was proving that I was actually in control. It made a sort of motivational spiral or feedback loop.
So stick with it and recognize every small victory as proof you are capable of doing this. If you're lucky that moment of pride can give you a tiny dopamine hit to make up for not eating that snack.
