Still Gaining Weight.

I'm trying so hard to stop my Boulimia, that my Anorexia is taking control.
I survive my days by eating 2 crackers a day. THOUGH: I'm still gaining weight....
This is so confusing, I'm drinking 3L water a day and eating only 2 crackers, and despite all of that, I'm still gaining. I just want to loose weight again. It was the only thing that I actually enjoyed in my life, now even that has been taken away from me. How can it be I'm still gaining?

Why are you drinking 3 liters of water a day? That is not healthy and results in water intoxication.

Possibilities are that your metabolism has slowed down (unlikely that it slowed down that much though), that you're eating more than you think you are, or that you're retaining water for some reason.  Try drinking a cup of green tea every day (2 calories if you don't add sugar)...it will boost your metabolism a little, and the caffeine will help get rid of any extra water weight.
