HELP!!!

I know this is going to sound stupid to some people.

I really have an issue with eating :( My calories are quite low most days and days like today I just feel I ate way too much and should not expect to lose any weight if I consume that much food. That to the logical mind is ridiculous, because if you look at my food intake..... average 1000 a day if I am lucky (just in case my calculations are wrong, I am sure I wont exceed 1200cals a day; staying on the safe side.)

It is as if in my mind, in order to lose weight makes me believe that if I am not "starving" that I am not going to lose weight. It is VERY CLEAR as the weeks go on that I am cutting my calories more and more. On the flip side I KNOW that I have to eat and at this point in time, even though the food doesnt look like a lot to some, it is really a lot for me. I feel full. I dont feel starved. The meals I prepare are enjoyable. Reminding myself that I am creating new habits and not just trying to lose weight. I am trying to find a balance I know I can sustain in the future. But now the ugly voice rears its head telling me that I am eating way too much.

Am the only one with this issue?
