Hello!

I have been reading some of posts here and you seem to be helping so many people, I would really appreciate if you could help me too!
For the last 7 years I`ve been eating very wrong, without knowledge. And this really messed up my metabolism.
I had anorexia when I was 16-17 (went down to 45 kgs)... In recovery, my nutritionist advised me to eat 1200 calories a day and didnt gain much weight(49 kgs), did fine for 2 years. After that, I started gaining weight from nothing, without changing any habit(58 kgs). Then, I cut calories in order to lose weight and during the last 4 years I was eating 600-800 calories a day, but didnt know that it was wrong(53 kgs). So, this April I decided to search to see if it really was healthy to eat that way and found out that I was in starvation mode. Then I got very worried and started eating more (1200 calories the first week, 1400 calories the next 7 weeks and 1600 calories the next 2 weeks) but I have been gaining weight gradually since then (from 53 kgs, now 58.5). I went to a nutritionis, but she didnt help me at all... I dont know what to do! I am 163 com tall, 23 years old, 58.5kgs now, small frame, walk 40 min-1 hour per day every day and lift weights 5 days a week(1 day arms the other day legs). I dont go to the gym because I live in the country side and there is no gym in my city... So I do everything at home.
Do you have some advice to give me? Do you think I am doing it wrong? I really dont want to gain more weight, my clothes dont fit, I have lots of bloating and my belly is getting big (never had!).
Thank you very much for your time!
Anne.
