I'm only a stone away from my goal weight, but my willpower and motivation has completely gone?

I've lost 18lbs so far, I've been doing sooo well, but lately my motivation has just gradually disappeared. I'm reverting back to my old eating habits and I know that I'm gonna pile every single pound back on, but I still can't get motivated.

Any ideas on how to boost my willpower?

That's a lot like what happened to me. I had lost 20 of the 30 pounds I wanted to lose and after a while I didn't care as much anymore. (I guess because the initial motivation had run out, like you say.) What helped me was to try to have the same mindset that I had when I started. I remember how badly I wanted to change, I looked at pictures of myself before I started and just would try to remember that motivation that I started with. (So I guess just thinking of it as an extremely important "big-deal" kind of thing and not saying "only ten more to go, this is so easy"... I can't explain this well... but basically try to have that really serious mindset that you started with. I know this is easier said then done, though. 

Probably not such a great thing to do, but you could just say, "Okay for one week I will forget about dieting". And just plan to pick up where you left off exactly one week later. (But make sure you do!) Not too much damage can be done in a week. You might find that you miss how good you feel when you're doing everything right. I did that... well, mostly I just cheated. I wasn't very responsible about it... But I realized how great my body felt when I was eating right and exercising so I wanted to get back on track. It helped me get motivated again.

Sorry, if that doesn't make any sense! Whatever you do just don't give up! You've worked so hard and you're almost there just keeping working hard! Good luck!

The same thing happened to me recently...though I was thinking things like "I look and feel great..do I really need to lose that last 15 pounds?"

I had to do some real soul searching and tell myself that I started on this journey with one final goal in mind and I still have not gotten there. I promised MYSELF I would do this and I just can't quit when I am so close...I could do it when I had over 70 pounds to lose and now that I am so close was I really going to give up?

Believe in yourself. You deserve to get to that goal! You've come so far...don't give up now! Don't let yourself down! You're too good for that!
