80lbs down, needing a boost!

Hello everyone,
I'm about 1.5 years into my health and fitness journey with no intentions on stopping as this is my lifestyle now! Successfully, I've shed 80lbs and counting. Over the past month and a half or so, I've slowly started to slide backward to bad eating habits as well as losing some motivation to eat right. I'm in my early 20s and all of my life I've been on the bigger side, so my new size is literally a new me. I've never been in a size 14 women's before or should I say since elementary school. Part of me wants to take some time adjusting to my new size, but I also want to keep pushing forward. With that said, I've been able to maintain my weight at about 198-200lbs, knowing that I've been doing butt-kicking workouts. I'm trying to rewire my brain to accept my accomplishments and what my body is capable of doing instead of focusing on what still needs improvement. Anyone know how to jump start Round 2 of this journey? Last night I made collages with older pictures of myself and even printed of the numbers that represent my 100lbs down mark. It may sound goofy, but I started this journey with MFP as well as with a water bottle that I enjoyed looking at. Call it silly, but maybe I just need a new water bottle. Hahaha. Any insight is beyond helpful. Just looking for some support, motivation, and the cold hard truth!
