I am trying so hard to cut back on the amount of food I eat in order to lose some weight. I have tried so many times but can't seem to do it, it's not that I'm hungry but it's like I feel like I have to eat all the time and in pretty big portions(which causes problems sometimes). I'll go through a whole package of grahm crackers by myself and have cereal and snacks right after dinner. I don't know what to do but I need to stop...typing this right now is the only thing that is keeping me away from food. Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything would help!

How tall are you? At 125, that sounds like a healthy weight. Depending on your height, anything lower might not be healthy. Could be why you are so hungry if you are restricting calories too much for your height.

Honestly i'm afraid if I say you might think I'm crazy, but the reason I want to lose is weight is because I used to be 115lbs and want to be there again...I'm 5' 5.5"

I don't think you're crazy, but I wonder what happens when you're 115 lbs? I'm not trying to sound snarky, but what does 115 mean to you? Why do you have that goal?
I'm 5'6", about 122-125 pounds and I feel pretty good at this weight. I've been 115, still felt good, but I was noticeably thinner and that got a lot of "positive" comments (being called skinny isn't necessarily positive or a compliment). I've noticed that now I don't get a lot of those type of remarks, but I don't really care because what does that mean anyway? Three years ago I was 104 and I felt like I was dying, withering away to nothing, had no energy, felt and looked sick and fragile -- yet people (mostly women I worked with) said they wished they were as skinny as me, wished the scale gave them a number less than 120. Did they also wish to have lupus and a bowel disorder? Did they also want to be in pain and having diarrhea 8 - 10 times a day?
Right now I feel good, alive, and healthy -- and beautiful -- and that means more to me than what the scale says. Anyway, I can understand following numbers on a scale for health reasons -- as a symptom, for example, of lupus activity; but I don't know what else that number really means or even matters.

I just do not look the same as I did several months ago, and I want to be there again. When I was 115 or even 110 I definetly loked thinner and was very happy with my appearance. Maybe I'm just obssessing. I am a dancer, (not like a stripper..haha) ballet, tap, jazz that kind of stuff and I am always staring at myself in a mirror.
