    I am calorie counting and exercising, I am "doing the work" I just want to feel full like a normal person does. I am on a 1200 calorie diet and treadmilling for 20 minutes, 5 times a week. Once my heart and lungs get in slightly better shape I will increase that to 30 minutes, work my way up to running.

    Part I: I used to be 300 pounds, and I would eat easily 3000 to 4000 calories a day before I started reducing. You will feel hungry, but eventually normal amounts of food will feel normal, and you won't. It sucks, but I promise you don't need anything more than time to achieve that.

    Part II: You're eating way, way too little. I started at 2100 calories, and lost weight consistently at 1900 calories and exercised rarely. (I'm so, so lazy.) I still eat 1700 to lose, and maintain somewhere in the 2000s.

    I'm really worried that you're not eating enough and exercising your way into a burnout. Take it slow. Get in touch with your body and your feelings about food (if food is an emotional issue for you; it was/is for me). It's a slower route, but a lot more sustainable.

    Yeah, I'm in the 150s and don't even eat 1200 to lose when not working out. It's not sustainable for most people.
