Sometimes, making a lot of small changes makes a big difference. I used to be able to fit into my suit pants just fine. Then, after a summer of horrid eating (damn you, tour opera!) I didn't anymore. After a few months of no more snacking, always taking the stairs, and judicious consumption of things I know are bad for me, I now fit into my suit just fine. It's all about the little things.
We all have our little comfort habits. Some people's are more hindering than others. If you find you're having a hard time breaking it, if you live with someone, ask them to distract you from doing it or otherwise remind you that you shouldn't be doing it. Some habits are so subconscious that you don't even realize you're doing them until you're just about done!
If you did well enough to do as well as you did, you certainly have the will to keep on that same road. Take a page from Wise's book and remind yourself that it feels good to eat healthily.
In the end, it comes down into believe that you can do it. You've got a leg up here: you already know you can.
