Little over 50% to weight goal and hitting plateaus. Suggestions to stay on track?

Hi, I'm new to this subreddit, but when I found it I got very excited! I always love hearing tips people can give that will push me forward, and I always love hearing their weightloss stories. So here's a bit about me: I'm female, 23 years old, 5'10" (178 cm) and now 165lbs (75 kg). My starting weight was 184lbs (83 kg) in June of 2015, and my goal weight is 153lbs (69 kg). I try to stay within my calorie goal on My Fitness Pal, which is 1810 calories a day, but I also run 3-4 times a week anywhere between 2-8 miles (I'm training for a half marathon). Now I've gotten past plateaus before and would end up losing 1-2lbs each week for a few weeks, and being on a really steady path, then one day I splurge a little too much and get stuck at the same weight, give or take a few pounds, for another few weeks. I make sure I track my sugars/carbs/fat/sodium too, however usually when I do splurge, it's those sugars/carbs/fats/sodium that I go over in and I KNOW that's the problem. That white refined sugar is addicting, man, and I can't always get away from it. Now I guess here's my question: how should I get past this and stay focused to my goal? I'm not too far off from it now, and am not about to quit! Am I still consuming too many or even too little calories? I have a desk job and am pretty sedentary until I exercise later in the day, and I attempt to hit 10k steps a day. Please let me know if you guys have any little tricks that help you stay focused!
