Welcome chickie! I know exactly how you feel with the confusing self talk. On a few occasions, I have gotten close to my goal weight, convinced myself I was "good now" and then kind of dropped the ball.
The best advice I can give is to just break up the remaining weight you have to lose into small segments and see how you feel when you reach each stage. For example, tell yourself that you'll lose those next five pounds and if you don't like how you look when you get there, then you'll come back to where you will feel comfortable.
This has worked really well for me in avoiding some foods I know will derail my plan. I just say, let me not eat that today and see how it affects my weight. I usually end up loosing which is the push I need to keep not eating some foods.
I hope that will help and I'm sure you will find some great support on this board in your journey.
