I'm so glad to hear that you did well over January without overly restricting, as that will hopefully help you to see that being so strict is not necessarily the way forward. Going back to logging, and starting with a 2000 goal rather than a 1500 one is such a positive step, so well done, seriously. It takes a LOT of courage to keep going back to trying, after setback upon setback, and for that, I'm full of admiration for you. It must be so frustrating to do what you are convinced is the right thing, yet seeing no results while craving more food than you are allowing yourself. I hope so much that this will be fixed for you soon.
Do have a glance at the link that I included (if you haven't already) and consider gradually INCREASING rather than decreasing your goal calories from 2000, and see where that gets you; hopefully the link explains the biology behind that course of action well enough because I don't think I could possibly explain it any better. If you CAN get your metabolism sorted and reach your goals in a way that doesn't damage you along the way, I'll be so incredibly happy for you.
I wish you all the best for you and your efforts, whichever course you decide to take based on the information that you have. :)
