Issues with my weight?

[thejellyprincess]

I have the same problem as you! I'm not as tall as you and I'm only 8 stone. I'm trying to get to at least 8 1/2 stone, but it's proving to be quite difficult. I do exercise but I eat a lot each day too and I try to eat a variety of food and I cook huge balanced meals and snack a lot, but it seems to have little or no effect. It's incredibly frustrating. I hate being underweight and I hate looking skinny. I've seen a doctor in the past and they just told me that I have a fast metabolism. They told me to eat a lot of junk food like pizza etc but it didn't have much of an effect and I didn't consider that to be good advice really. I do eat that kind of food but not all the time obviously and I want a solution that I can keep up on a daily basis. If you come up with a solution, please let us know! I'm sorry I can't help. I hate being called thin and skinny too and all my friends are shocked that I stay the same weight when I never seem to stop eating. They say I'm lucky but I completely disagree with them. I'd love to be slightly healthier and have some curves. Good luck with the weight gain!

It can be hurtful when people tease. I would say if you feel bad (queasy, weak, off) then see a doctor. If not, enjoy your willowiness. Make sure that you eat healthy and exercise moderately so you are strong, the rest is up to God and genetics. Your personality and winning smile will silence the critics who are sincere. The knuckleheads will tease you no matter what size you are. Enjoy your size, it will change on it's own. Just stay healthy. Lots of water, veggies, and plenty of healthy fats. nuts, fish and chocolate

I used to have a fast metabolism, but it slowed as I got older, n I just couldn't eat what I wanted to anymore because I started gaining weight

You have a fast metabolism. It will naturally slow down as you get older. I'm the same way as you im 6 foot 2 and only 8 and a half stone. My parents used to be the same as me: skinny as a rake, but once they hit about age 23-25 their metabolism's slowed down.

I can eat in excess of 2500 calories a day and gain 0 weight. It's practically impossible.
