Does your body burn the normal calorie amount consumed everyday?

I hear that you have to burn more calories than you consume but I also hear that if you eat 1500 calories a day, everyday, then your body burns 1500 calories a day because thats what it needs to do. Is this correct? Does your body burn the amount of calories that you normally consume? If so, if you eat 1200-1500 calories a day, will it burn those calories naturally? Then any other activity you do to burn more calories will count towards weight loss and not burning the food that you’ve eaten?

Okay, so I know almost everything there is to know about losing weight effectively. I love to give advice to people on how to lose weight. Am I in good shape? Hellz no! I am 50 lbs overweight and 21 years old in college. I know all this stuff about losing weight, yet I cannot apply to myself. Why am I not strong enough to do this? I can barely resist eating. I love food so much. Taco bell, pizza, quesadillas, hot pockets, cola, the list goes on. I am addicted to food, I eat when I’m not hungry because I crave the taste of it. I have asked for the strength to resist these temptations but to no avail. It seems hopeless that I will ever be average weight. I dont’ need weight loss advice per se…I need ways to become strong enough to resist my strongest temptations…any suggestions?

I should mention that I do get up off my butt and try to stay active, I’m not that lazy, it’s just that the amount of calories I am able to consumer is far more I can burn off at my activity level, in the shape I am in, I can’t do extremely heavy workouts, in fact running hurts my legs, any kind of weight training will deal a lot of pain, right now, I basically try to walk a lot, because it’s basicall what I can do right now without noticing bad side effects.
