To those who have lost weight and kept it off

I've recently lost all my baby weight and have decided to lose another 15-20 lbs to put me at a healthy weight for my height. And honestly, it hasn't been that hard. Eating healthier, counting calories, walking every day, and the pounds just keep coming off. But I still struggle with cravings to eat like I used to....big handfuls of cookies, plates of nachos with melted cheese....mostly higher-fat food in larger portions than I allow myself now. I hardly ever give in, or I have something else instead, but I'm wondering how I'm going to keep this up. My thinking is that this isn't a 'diet', it's a total change in how I intend to eat for the rest of my life, for my sake and my family's sake.

So, for those who have made this type of lifestyle change, how do you deal with the desire to eat the way you used to? Does the craving for a Big Mac and fries ever really go away? Do you feel deprived because you don't eat a pan of brownies at a time? Does it get easier? I don't mean just one day, I have all sorts of strategies for dealing with momentary cravings (like on the thread I want 5 cookies right now!), but I mean long-term. I have some nights where I'm sure my husband is tired of listening to my complaints about wanting a fatty snack!
