I personally disregard weight goals because I find it can be discouraging to feel objectively better, but then the number on the scale says you're no different. So I just walk by the scale now.
Anyway, but that's me. For snacking, I find drinking a lot of water after meals, and having healthy snacks that I like (chopped carrots, mixed nuts, chia seed pudding, really dark chocolate, etc) helps.
Also I personally don't believe in "cheat days" but I like allowing myself to enjoy some junk socially. Like we have a local doughnut+coffee shop nearby, and my buddy and I will usually meet there on our dates. It's fun, it's local. I don't feel bad about it.
Hopefully there's a helpful tidbit in here and I didn't come off as preachy!
Numbers fuck people up. You make a goal to lose 100, finally see the scale tick down by 2, "Damn! 1/50th of the way?!"
