Frusterated Woman in need of help with weight loss?

Ok, here is my story. I'm 5'3, and weigh 133 pounds. About 2 years ago, I weighed around 113 pounds. For the longest time, I was able to keep weight off even if I ate alot of food because of how much I exercised at my work. I work at a pet hotel/doggie daycare which has me walking about 2-4 miles a day; but, when it gets really busy on the holidays, then about 5-8 miles a day. So my job kept my metabolism up which was good, until around Thanksgiving time last year---and that's when I noticed the weight starting to come on.

Two months ago, I tried starving myself by eating only dinner. I think I lost a pound or two with that, but then I would get too miserable and eat alot which caused me to gain it back and more. I tried everything---cutting down on the number of carbs, calories, fat intake. On Sat. (April 5), I bought all-natural diet pills which hasn't helped :(. I even cut down on my portion sizes and drank more water. What's wrong with my body? Why can't I lose?

Update:

I am eating healthy. For the past couple of days, I've been eating cereal (Honey Bunches of Oats) for breakfast, one slice of whole wheat bread with peanut butter and jelly for lunch, and rice (mushrooms, onions, peppers,tofu), and vetables for dinner served on a desert plate (that's the portion size that I'm now eating; with no seconds). For desert tonight, I had no-fat Yogurt with a chopped up strawberry/flax/a little of all-natural sugar/almond extract/and nuts in it. And I also don't eat after 7pm.

    dont try to starve yourself until dinner.

    breakfast is such an important meal because it kick starts your metabolism, helping you lose weight! you need to talk to a professional (your doctor) about healthy ways to lose weight before you do damage to your body.
