Learning to maintain while losing.

Hi,

I've been thinking lately about how to start training myself to maintain a healthy lifestyle and eating habits, and to keep off the (relatively) small amount of body fat I want to lose (8 or 10 pounds). Like many other people, I tend toward all-or-nothing thinking, where either I'm "on a diet" and watching the scale go down, or I'm sick to death of the whole idea and would prefer to ignore my weight, my now-n-then addiction to sugar and high-fat food, my tendency to get lazy regarding exercise... So, here's what I'm starting to address: while I lose these last pounds in the next month or two or three, how do I learn to do what I'm faced with for the long term -- focus on eating the right amount of calories and the right types of foods to stay healthy. That is, when I'm no longer "dieting" to lose weight, am I still "dieting" to maintain my health? Any practical suggestions for retraining one's thinking as the end of the weight loss battle draws near?
