    Are you seeing a therapist? I don't have any experience with ED's, but I would think your first priority after getting to a healthy BMI is a shift in mindset from focusing on what your body looks like to what your body can do. Going into recovery with a physique goal is not going to be healthy for you. You can put on weight in a smart manner by following the links @sarahbums suggested, but perhaps try to pick a physical activity you enjoy doing or a skill you want to gain and work towards that. Concentrate on developing strength, gaining a skill. The physique YOU are genetically programmed to have will follow.
