Im sorry to hear your struggles. I looked at your food log for today so far. I know that sometimes...ok most times we all take a little break from healthy eating for the weekend. But maybe if you try to add more vegetables and a piece of fruit to your diet it might help you manage your diet a little better. You are eating low calories but maybe its the type of food. Good luck and I know you will succeed.  

I focus on what I can control, the numbers in my food diary and exercise journal. Water weigh, a period or the time of day can affect the scale but I have total control over these two things. 

It could be a whole lot of things from too much sodium to hormones. Plus, the fact that your already at a low weight and don't have much to lose can make it much more difficult. You may need to get strict with your calories and make sure you writing every bite, lick and taste down honestly. If you don't exercise and can, start. Exercise is your best friend when you don't have much to lose and will help you keep the weight off (not to mention toning and heart health). If your already exercising, switch things up. Up your intensity or duration. Try different workouts to use different muscles. You might also think about focusing on fat loss and not necessarily just the scale. You can actually stay the same number on the scale but go down in sizes with eating really lean and exercising (plenty of lean protein, lean dairy and fruits and veggies). WHAT you eat can be as important as HOW MUCH. Also google "why the scale lies" for insight in to water weight gain.
