I am 5'5" and about a month ago I weighed Xlbs, which I felt was too high, considering a year before I weighed X (which I now realize is too low.) but X felt comfortable enough for me to eat comfortably and kind of fatty. For a year straight I never gained nor lost a pound. At some point I felt like purging 2/3 meals would help me maintain that weight even more or better yet, lose a couple pounds. I realized it was tearing up my body and decided to stop and intake 1200 to 1600 calories a day. After I stopped I climbed to X, X and now I weigh Xlbs and can not stand it. A whole Xlbs in a month...I'm wondering, can such a short time of purging make me gain that much weight? Or is it something else? I am not pregnant. Also, will I be this weight forever (I heard about the body's 'reset weight') I am going to start strength training and I understand that I will gain muscle weight, but will my metabolism be this bad forever? Please help with any information at all...this rapid weight gain is all that consumes my mind.
