    According to your profile you are male , 18 yrs and have less than 20 lbs to reach your goal. You are allotting yourself 1200 calories a day.. I'm not surprised you are starving / craving & binging.

    The less weight you have to lose to reach your goal the smaller your deficit needs to be. Males naturally have a higher calorie requirement than females and at 1200 calories most women here (unless they are very small/short or old) would be having the same problems.

    I would highly recommend you set your goal to lose no more then 1 lb/ week (should be closer to .5 so close to goal) eat back at least half of your calories from exercise (or better yet, figure out your TDEE and use that)
    And PLEASE read this : http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1175494-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

    I reckon his goal should be not to lose any more weight...ummm OP... has noone told you the extreme skinny man is not particularly attractive to women??... or was that just in my day??.. course you might not be interested in interesting women.. no idea what interests men not interested in women (now I am getting involved and convuleted....apologies to all)

    First of all, you don't need to lose weight! You're fine! But -- It looks like you're not eating enough protein. Replace some of your carbs with protein & you will find that your cravings are less intense. You should also increase the amount you are consuming. 1,200 calories is a starvation diet for a male. You need minimum 1,800.

    No I have scary skinny arms and slim legs and very visible collar bone and fairly slim waist but my back and stomach is where all of my fat is stored meaning I am in risk of a lot of diseases I don't control where my fat goes

    Based on today, it seems like you are eating enough to be at your TDEE. You should at least be eating at that level. 1200 calories is for someone who is completely sedentary.

    I think this is the same guy I called out in the "addicted to counting calories" thread last night. Just a new account, probably.

    Everyone has a bad day, now and again. Just start again tomorrow. The next craving clean a closet, go for a walk, call a friend, just get you mind off of eating. Chewing gum or suck on a mint helps as well. Hang in there, you can do it.
