Default Problem with weight after starvation episode

I'm 24 years old male, and for the most part, I've never had weight
issues until this past year.

About two years ago, I was dating a girl I met online. To say the
least, being a college student, I was stupid and spent most of my
money on her, and as a consequence, I ate very little during the
entire period of time I was with her. I remember having only a dollar
or two to buy a few pounds of bananas. Over the course of a 6-month
relationship, I lost 50 pounds. Eventually my brain kicked in and I
broke up with her, and resolved to start eating better.

The problem is, I began to balloon in weight, rapidly. I regained the
50 pounds within a couple months, and another 50 pounds, making me 225
pounds now, and my weight gain shows no signs of abating. I've never
dealt with weight problems, and I would like to know how I can reset
the damage done to my metabolism when I was a freshman. I just want to
go back to eating like I did before meeting the girl (which I
basically AM already) and be back at my former weight (which I am
not). Any advice?
