Struggling with CICO after 6 months - help!

I have been doing CICO since May, and have lost about 55 lbs with eating 1200-1400 calories a day and exercising (was walking, then running, now walking again after an injury). I have had very few issues with CICO, usually sticking to my goal is really easy. For some reason though, over the past month, I have really had to fight mentally to stay in my 1200-1400 range and I can't quite figure out why or what to do. I definitely feel a bit more hungry even though I haven't amped up my exercise or changed my diet at all. In that time, I have had one cheat snack that put me up to 1600, and then an 1800 calorie Thanksgiving, but those little cheats were several weeks apart. I was hoping I would struggle a little less after my little cheats but I still find myself struggling a bit.

I have also been drinking more water in the past week in hopes that I would feel a little more full. Not doing the trick. I am not really sure what I should be doing at this point to help get past this feeling - keep pushing forward, try eating at maintenance for a while, more cardio, something else? I am still 15 lbs away from my goal weight, and was thinking about pushing for another 15 after that. I don't want to stall, or worse, gain... And I also don't want to binge! Help!
