How do you transition from knowing what to do to actually doing it

(a bit of a rant, sorry) I am just not doing what needs to be done. I have excuses, explanations, 'not in my hands' situations, 'dont want to explain to family why I don't eat that',...

I absolutely KNOW what I need to do. Eat a little bit less. Not have the high calorie foods outside the planned meals, better yet not to buy them. Not have more than one piece, weigh the carb portion, move a little bit more,...

To achieve the deficit I need it is just doing little things. Just that one snack less, just that 50g of cooked pasta/rice less, just have one piece of that chocolate not more. It is so easy! But I don't do that. I always excuse it with how I will reduce the next meal and I don't. How I will do better tomorrow and I don't. How I need to finish this cooked portion so there are no leftovers, how I got the meal from my parents over weekend that I need to eat, how I will just eat this chocolate so it is gone and not there for tomorrow.

And I know that I do that, but somehow always after the fact. I don't realize I could not eat it at the moment, I somehow realize it after I eat it. I am so resolved to have a good day in the morning and in the evening I will wave my hand and say 'well it wasn't THAT bad and tomorrow will be better'. But it is not. I can manage maybe two three days of the week but they rely on me being very strict, just three meals one snack. Absolutely no option to include going somewhere, buying something, getting a drink of any sorts. Then I can manage.

What worked for you to actually put it in practice? To make the choice in the right moment not regret not making it afterward. It is like I am not learning from a mistake I keep making and that also makes me feel dumb. Not loving it
