I wrote down my goals and read them every single day, but I keep forgetting them?

Okay loseit, I made a reddit account specifically for this issue. I'm desperately trying to reinvent myself and follow a healthier lifestyle in 2019 (starting now). The problem is: I've been trying to lose those "last 10 pounds" for about 2 years and follow pretty much all advice out there - until I enter the kitchen or any other environment that offers food. Once I'm there, it's like all my weight loss plans immediately escape my mind. My mind then works on autopilot and I seem to forget about all my goals, despite reviewing them DAILY, for years. I live with my mom and while we do eat healthy stuff, she also buys a lot of treats which I asked her to hide but she thinks I'm being ridiculous and refuses to stop buying stuff just because I can't control myself. I mean, I kinda understand her, but still, I know I can't rely on her for support. I really want to improve my overall self-discipline (also work- and school-related) but like I said, I KNOW what I should be doing. But whenever I want to eat something, I can't control myself, even if I start eating something healthy. Today for example, I ate a huge salad and despite feeling full and trying to reduce dairy and carbs/sugar,, I had another cafe latte, some gingerbread, 10 or so walnuts, some chocolate we got as a gift today and it was so scary because I just could not control myself.

I do all these mindfulness exercises and always write down how certain foods make me feel, and even if I KNOW that certain foods will make me feel gross and sick, I'll eat them anyway, like I never even thought about it or like I'm eating them for the first time in my life!

I don't know what to do! I really want to make a change. I tried all kinds of diets, keto, plant-based, non-restrictive but calorie-conscious but I always end up overeating because I always FORGET about wanting to make a change ;'(
