Hi Steph! 
You already have some great answers but I just wanted to chime in and say, yup, when I'm eating like crap I'm usually not gaining weight - which yes makes it hard to stay on track!
Usually, for me, I'm eating like crap because I'm busy, which means I'm just grabbing not-so-good-for-me things and stuffing my face with them. It also usually means that I'm not having proper "meals" very often, so all in all I'm actually probably eating fewer calories then I was when I was eating well.
However, I also know that I'm doing bad things to my health when I'm living off Baked Lays and candy (!!) and that I'm also slowing down that metabolism I work so hard to keep up.
As for your weight, you're probably just dealing with a plateau. The best way to get out of something like this is to, well, first to get back to eating healthy girl!  And then, to shock your body somehow. This might actually involve eating lots of (good, healthy) food for a while then tapering back to a maitenance/loss level for you. More likely it will involve going really hard in the gym for a while and then tapering off - particularly cardio. I know you're a bit unmotivated right now but if you can get just a bit motivated (go Steph!! woooooo!!!!!) and you can get yourself out for a run or speed walk or bike ride, just give it your all. You'll feel great (dead, but great) afterwards, you'll remind yourself how good it feels to move your body, and your metabolism will wake up and say hello Plus now that spring's here you'll be wanting to get outside right?
Anyway, easier said than done I know  But I know for me, springtime is always the time when I try to get back on track... well, next week anyway lol
GOOD LUCK! and (((hugs)))
