After HUGE weight loss is there a difference in how weight comes back?

I was 288 lbs in January of last year and now I am at 140 lbs.

 

I used to eat all fried foods and nasty stuff now I eat healthy 85 - 90 % of the time as I eat healthy and try and put 20 lbs back on will the weight come back differently than when I was eating junk all the time?

I don't know if it has anything to do with quality of food, but for me weight came back on wayyy differently! I'm recovering from an eating disorder, and up about 20lbs. I've been doing mild strength training, so I'm smaller now than when I was this weight before. I also gained a lot of the weight back in my breasts and hips and have little tiny kid arms still! I think if you're strength training while gaining, more of it will come back on as muscle, as opposed to when you're losing weight and prone to lose muscle too. If that makes any sense?

I am also recovering from an eating disorder and I gained about 25-30 lbs back and it did come back a little differently. My breasts used to be pretty big (large C, borderline D cup) and now I'm a B cup. I am also smaller up top- like my arms and shoulders and waist and my thighs, hips, etc are about the same as they were before. It's different for everybody, but like ecwk6 said, if you do some strength training as you gain, it will come back more as muscle.

Everyone gains weight in different areas as people have different shapes. I know for me when I gain a lot goes to my tummy. There is nothing I can do other then accept it and eventially hope it balances out. Usually the body will adjust to being healthy and then begins to even out. I think you should just try to focus on being healthy and eating enough to get to that point. It does not have to be all or nothing. You can have some unhealthy foods as long as you get in your nutrients

I have un healthy foods daily...usually four to five cookies with my skim milk before bed and two nights a week when I am out on business I have 13 or 14 light beers.

 

No worries with the calorie intake here I was just curious on how the weigth comes back if you eat pretty clean.

 

I have been around the same weight for a few months so as I begin to go from 2500 calories to 3000 I was wondering what I might expect even though it is different for everyone.
