I have my goal at 800 calories a day, but have been trying to stay lower. I know it's not the healthiest way to lose weight, but I want results. I'm 5'8" and 150 lbs atm. the only problem I'm having is I want to eat so much. I work in food service so being around food often doesn't help. how can I get rid of my appetite? what foods are super low calorie and filling?

    So, you're at a healthy weight already and starving yourself? Either this is a joke, or you need some help! Eat more! It's that simple. You're just going to end up binge eating the food where you work! I'm 5'6 and I lose weight eating 1600 calories a day, and I weigh a little more than you do.

    You want to eat because you are literally STARVING yourself. The lowest you should ever go is 1200 calories and that is too low. You can get rid of your appetite by EATING!!!

    You are hungry because you are not eating enough to fuel your body. You aren't eating enough for a small child even. You are dangerously and unnecessarily starving yourself. You will damage your health if you continue.
    You should not be eating less than 1200 calories and can probably eat much more and still lose weight. You are at a normal healthy weight already.
    Give MFP your information, activity level and choose .5 lb a week. Go with the calories reccomended. Be patient.
    Talk to a doctor or therapist.

    The "results" you will get from a diet like this are drastic loss of lean mass (muscle, etc.). Do you really want that?

    The only problem you're having is that you aren't listening to your body which is clearly telling you that your eating habits are self-destructive and counterproductive.

    I would definitely recommend talking to a dietitian or therapist.
