Its not always something you can just get rid of, but all you need to remember is that cutting doesn't help or get you anywhere. It makes everything worse. Just hold on, keep trying to stop and sooner or later, you will. I'm rooting for you.

Try washing dishes. It makes my hands feel good and keeps them occupied:D

It will stay with you for a very long time.
I havent cut in months but I have my moments where everything seems like shit and I can NOT go on without it.
But the feeling passes. Eventually, it passes.
Please don't give up

The urge takes a while to go away; cutting is an addiction for many and it's hard to over come. But I am very proud that you haven't cut in a while and you're feeling a lot better with yourself. Good job and keep up the good work

Just like everyone else has said, don't think there's something abnormal about you because you still want to cut. I don't think i'll ever be able to fully stop wanting to / have urges. Well done on getting to your target weight :)

It does take a while for the urges/ feeling you need to cut goes away
As everyone else has said, its an addiction it takes time to be, but you can do it
Glad to hear that you havent cut for a while and that you are feeling happier about yourself

Keep it up :)
