You'll find it again, you just have to keep at it. I remember when you were doing really well and I couldn't do it for more than 4 days, but I constantly started over again.
Part of it was setting a date and working on a plan with the workouts and calories pre-planned for each day for a full 6 weeks. I designed a spreadsheet and printed it out and it's taped up next to me at my desk. I have my calories pre-planned and I write underneath that the actual calories at the end of the day. I weigh myself everyday and write it down too, though that's getting old and frustrating - I wouldn't recommend it.
I know how it feels like you're always dieting and never losing because you can't stay compliant. The most annoying thing is that the cheat food doesn't help you to feel like you're not dieting, because its a minority of the time and then you might feel guilty. (Sometimes
)
You and I seem to have the same issues; social eating and drinking. Its not always other people and their expectations, but sometimes it is because people get upset if you're not "enjoying yourself" the same way they are (high calorie food and drink). I decided recently to get angry at them (not necessarily explicitly mean) and not give in to their selfishness. I can enjoy their company without eating pizza and ice cream! Its none of their business what I choose to eat for the next few weeks. You still have to fight the voice inside as well, of course, but that's why I decided to get angry at people. I have enough trouble, I don't need them making it harder.
Anyway, that was way more than I intended to write about it. Just stay determined and eventually you'll catch it again.
