I'm almost 5'8 and 105 pounds, and I think I can help.

First of all, how old are you, and do you know how many calories you're eating? If you're eating your maintenance calories, this shouldnt happen, however, when you were annorexic if you restricted ALOT, maybe you're gaining becuase you put your metabolism n starvation mode, and noe that it's getting food again that its not used to, it's holding onto it...

Just my thoughts.
im 15, my birthday is on January 3rd 2007.. im actually 5'7.5. I dont count calories very much anymore, becuz i know i am eating to much.. im prolly at 2000 or 2300 a day.. its a lot.. i know, but i cant help it.
Hi Totallyvegan - is there any chance that you can ask your doctor what you should weigh? Normally, my response would be - exercise, and eat healthy and your body will seek it's natural weight. But in your case, I think you need to hear a number from a health professional, and take that number on faith and no matter how fat you feel, you need to say to yourself "So and so told me I should weigh this much, so I am going to stick to it." You need some sort of reference to stand by - not how you see yourself in the mirror. Good luck to you!!!

okay now were you mentally anorexic aswell or were you just like'oh my god im not going to eat." 

if you were REALLy ana, then you are just in recovery and will gain weight slowly and will suck, if you were just like ohh im not gona eat for a week and see what hapens, then 1. your not helping your body, and 2. your body was deprived, so your eating more then you think you are.
