Why am I continuing to gain weight

Why am I continuing to gain weight

I have suffered from an eating disorder of 7 years. I was anorexic and then suffered from bulimia. For the past 2 years i have eating properly and am continuing to gain weight. I am not throwing my food up, or taking laxatives. I eat less then 1000 calories a day and yet....... I am still gaining weight. I have never been this size before and am ashamed of what I look like!  I feel bloated most days and just feel gross. I hate looking in the mirror each day. I am thinking I am not eating enough of the right foods, etc. Can you please help me? Looking for a diet that help me lose weight but maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Thanks

Weight Watchers is a good healthy diet with a good support group to help you lose the weight with the proper calorie intake for your body. If you do not want to do that, then try eating a moderate fat diet. Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats. Eat low fat meats (chicken, fish, loin of pork) or non-meat sources (soy products, nuts), low fat vegetarian combinations (rice & beans, pasta & beans, low fat cheese & pasta), low fat and substitute dairy products (1% milk, low fat/fat free yogurts, low fat soy milk/soy yogurt), use plant oils, non trans-fat margarines, and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Eat daily high fiber breads and cereals (oatmeal). To help eat less food per meal, eat about 7-10 almonds (good fat), 20 minutes before lunch and dinner so you will feel full faster and not eat as much food.  Do not be discouraged, weight loss can be a slow process but the slower you loss, the higher chance it will stay off. Think of this new way of eating as your new healthy lifestyle and not as a diet. Hope this helps you.
