I'm fifteen, female, 5'1", and used to be anorexic. I weighed 80.2 pounds probably about a month or two ago and now I'm think I'm around 88. For obvious medical reasons, I was told by my doctor to gain weight...around 95-100 pounds, she thought. But I'm scared to gain...I weighed 98 when I was 14 and I don't think I cared too much, but now I really do. Yesterday, I wasn't really hungry all day, so I don't think I ate too much, but today for some reason, I'm eating so much! I had nutella and pb on whole wheat bread this morning with almonds, a banana, and milk, then for lunch, I ate a lettuce and tomato sandwich (two slices of whole wheat bread), three crackers, mini chips ahoy, and 1% milk. For a snack, I didn't want to each much...a slice of bread and applesauce with five raisins in it. But about an 1.5 hours later, I ate some sliced apples and bananas and a piece of peanut brittle! What's going on?! I haven't even had dinner yet and I'm feeling so guilty for eating!

Firstly congratulations on attempting to overcome it.
Your body is craving food naturally, and its craving carbs and things to give it energy.
You should ask your doctor for a sensible meal plan to both gain back a healthy amount of weight but also that is healthy.
Your mindset is still that of an eating disorder, it is why you are feeling guilty for eating and maybe will be for a while.
If you aren't in counselling already i suggest going to speak to someone with experience in talking to people who are in the recovery stages of an eating disorder.
It sounds like the foods you are eating now are reletively healthy so try not to worry about that.
