how do i maintain my weight?!?

Ok i know this probably sounds stupid, but i'm really scared to start eating somewhat normally again incase i gain weight. I went on a diet and basically haven't been eating anything fattening, having a bowl of cereal for breakfast & then a salad + half a can of tuna or an egg white omlette for dinner. Im about 5'8/5'9 female and i weigh about 110lbs. I know it's underweight, but i am happy with this weight, i don't wanna lose anymore but i do not want to gain. I exercise once or twice a week not including daily activities such as about an hour of brisk walking. I'm always tired, i keep getting headaches and i have no motivation yet i can stop worrying about what i'm gonna have to eat. I know you'll probably say i'm anorexic (i have considered it, i am not, i eat pizzas etc now and again etc - just not often. so please dont patronise me about it) Anyways, if anyone can give me some real good adivce or ideas on how to keep my weight i would be very greatful. thanks.. the only reason why i dont eat alot is because im worried it'l lead to gain, thats it.

1. Okay the answer is you should stop being afraid of how much you eat per say and worry about what you eat. The key to staying healthy is diet and exercise okay instead of once ot twice a week. Do a 30 minute or so work out 3 to 4 times a week. work on your abs and go for a short run. as far as the eating you CAN eat just don't over do it and keep a good wholesome diet of fruits and veggies you can never go wrong with them. Thats whats so great about it. So stop worrieing oh and make sure to drink alot of water it will delute such a big appatite.
2. You can maintain your weight by eating properly. As long as you eat the right foods, you can maintain your weight with minimal exercise. What are the best foods to eat? There are certain foods that are beneficial and certain you should avoid. * Drink sufficient pure water -- your weight divided by 2 = ounces per day. Take fluids between meals, using reverse osmosis purified water, unsweetened juices, and herbal beverages. Try liquid chlorophyll in pure water, it is delicious and refreshing! * *A minimum of 50% of your food should be alive -- fresh, raw, unprocessed. Dead food cannot build strong bodies. Eat foods in season and foods that can spoil. (But eat them before they spoil, of course!)More is preferable! * *Eliminate foods used in a microwave. Try to eliminate using the microwave for anything you eat or drink. * *Eliminate processed sugars and white flour and any foods that contains these; i.e., read labels. Substitute whole grain foods for white -- stone ground whole wheat, brown rice, etc. * *Avoid all stimulants. They are very hard on the adrenal glands. (Coffee, cigarettes, chocolate, cola drinks, alcohol, aspirin, black tea -- herbal (green, jasmine, chamomile, etc.) tea acceptable.) * *It is easier on your digestive system if you eat fruit by itself. Fruit digests faster than any other type of food. Starches and proteins do not combine well either. * *Eat two-thirds of your daily food intake before mid-afternoon if possible. It is best to use protein in the morning and at noon, not in the evening. * *Eliminate fried foods of all kinds -- grill, bake, roast, or steam instead. * *Avoid products sweetened with high fructose corn syrup -- this does a real number on your blood sugar and in excess causes belly fat * *Avoid using Splenda, Nutrasweet or any other artificial sweetners containing Aspartame and Sucralose for they are harmful to the body. Avoid using products sweetened with these dangerous chemicals. * *Avoid pork and any product containing pork -- lunch meats, hot dogs, ham, bacon, sausage, etc. Experts feel that the parasites in pork are heat-resistant. * *Do not use aluminum cookware. * *Replace table salt with Vegetable Seasoning Broth, kelp or B-Salt. Table salt -- sodium chloride -- is an imbalanced chemical which can cause health problems. * *Replace red meat with fish or fowl whenever possible. * *Substitute leaf lettuce -- Romaine, red or green leaf, or butter for head lettuce which has very little food value and is toxic in the colon. * Try to add cultured products, natural yogurt & keifer (not sweetened) to your diet to help your digestive system. Also add acidophilus supplements to your regimen to increase friendly bacteria in your intestines and support your immune system. * Eat Organic food, and no hormone, no antibiotic, free range meats whenever possible
