<human>: Hey /r/loseit! I'm new to this whole thing so I apologize if these are basic questions. I looked at this section of the FAQ but still had some concerns. 

For some background, I'm a female, about 5 feet tall, and somewhere around 110-112 pounds the last I checked (I don't have a scale currently but my weight has not fluctuated much for the past few years). I am 18 years old. I'm not looking for major weight loss, as I'm not really overweight, so I'm not focusing on numbers on the scale. What I really want is to tone up and drop the extra "baby" fat I have on my hips, thighs, and lower stomach. 

I just recently started counting calories using myfitnesspal. According to the app, I should be eating 1200 cals a day to lose 1lb per week, and 1440 per day for 0.5 lbs a week. I started at 1200, and just could not do it. I'm aiming for 1440 each day now, but honestly it still feels impossible. I stress and worry over the numbers and I hate logging in every single time I eat. I feel hungry *all the time* and it's driving me crazy. There have been days where I get to 4 or 5 pm and all I have left is some 300 calories to sustain me until I sleep, around 12 or 1, and I feel like I'm always going to bed hungry, which can't be healthy, can it? I'm almost certain I'm doing something wrong...any advice?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: calorie counting has left me anxious, confused, and HUNGRY day after day, and I need some feedback on how exactly I can make this better.
