i got into a little quarrel with my boyfriend today.
mm. about body types, i suppose.

i'm super skinny. i can't help it.
no matter what i do, i can't seem to gain weight.
i eat and eat and eat and eat.
but i go back to my normal weight in the morning.
none of it seems to stick to my body.
which is REALLY frustrating.
[i'm 90lbs and 5'6". i know, "ewwww." >:|]

but for me, no matter what i do, i can't gain weight.
from middle school [6th] to college [freshman] i've only gained 40 lbs.

edit again.

40 lbs
LOL that's nothing.
you just grew up
of course your bones grow and that's added to your weight

LOL then eat!
it's easy isn't it?
i don't quite share the same sentiments as you
if you're gonna complain and whine about it then DO SOMETHING about it

[soyabeangirl16]

i agree with your last comment, but it is possible that no matter what some people do they cant lose weight. so they could kind of be in the same situation as you are, just the opposite.
but really, dont worry about how you look. people that dont know you might think you dont eat or that you chose to be that way or something, but the people that matter do know that this is your body and you cant do anything to change it.

It sucks on both sends of the scale; there are chubby people who find it very very difficult to lose weight (and then stay like that), and there are skinny people who can't seem to put weight on. How much are you eating? You might be one of those people who just increase their basal metabolic rate to expend all the extra energy from food. Do you get hot easily if you eat too much?

[leejunkified]

Honestly speaking, I do think you were being a bit insensitive, but that´s besides the main point... YES, it is possible for most chubby people to lose weight. But I also think you are wrong when you say "i'm super skinny. I can't help it. no matter what i do, i can't seem to gain weight." It kinda works both ways, you know? Only that you don´t see as many cases of skinny people trying to gain weight.
If you want to gain weight, you have to do other stuff besides from eating more. You have to exercise to gain some muscle, and no, you will not bulk up and be all manly if you do. Try searching for stuff on google, you might be surprised.
Or, if anything, you can eat a bunch of donuts/other-fattening-food and go to sleep, which is what I heard some actresses did in order to gain weight for a role. But then you might just be one of those skinny-fat people. It´s better to be lean.

^ Basically what I was going to say.
Don't eat a bunch of grease/fat/unhealthy food to gain weight, go to the gym and work out a bit.
You'll gain muscle weight and be healthier; eat lean meat and vegetables.
Also have you seen your doctor about it? 90 lbs and 5'6 is really unhealthily skinny =T

[ihearthellookitty]

lollll
well i can see why he's saying you're insensitive.
I'm a pretty chubby girl. Just as you say you'd rather be chubby than how you are now, I'd rather be like you and not be able to gain weight
But I mean we all want what we can't have, right? and I don't know what kind of problems you may face not being able to gain weight and being super skinny and at the same time you might not understand a lot of the insecurities of being a chubby girl. So like I'm probably insensitive to girls like you who can't gain weight in the same way you're insensitive to chubby girls?
Basically our insensitivity towards each other comes from ignorance.
I don't know if that made any sense, I'm just rambling now.

And trust me, us chubby girls do try to lose weight and work out. Well at least I do. Work out 2 hours a day, weight and cardio, and all I lose is 3 pounds in a month. and if i eat ONE little junky fat food I gain it all back.

and if i do lose weight, i have to eat like one carrot a day to keep it off. SUCKS TO BE ME!

But.. I'd still rather be super skinny. I think guys would rather have a super skinny girl than a chubby girl. *sigh.

I think you should be comfortable in your own skin. There will be things people can't have and want. I think once you're comfortable you will learn to love your body. If you would like to start gaining some healthy weight (even as busy as your are, I know how college can be super busy), start changing your diet and exercise. It will take at least 6 months but the results will be worth it. you can check with your school nutritionist at the school health center for advice in your diet.

[junsujunsu]

I'm superbly chubby/ fat, and it's not that easy losing weight, i wish i could eat as much as i want and still not gain weight, that would be awesome although i dont argue that weighing 90 at 5'6 is kinda unhealthy....even if you have tiny bones, 90 pounds is kinda ehhhh for 5'6...i dont get how you are being insensitive at all.

[flowoftime]

im pretty skinny too like ... 5'2 and 95 lbs

and people have told me to take birth control cus they say it made them gain weight

and dont bother trying to get muscles, it may be a bigger number on the weight scale
but visually more muscle may make you look even thinner, you want to hold on to the
little fat you have in your body =/

thats why i stoped doing weights/pushups ect, they just made me look thinner and thinner

besides fatty high calorie foods , i found that eating alot of sweets(cookies, cake,candy )
helps put on pounds since it just converts to...well..useless mass lol

ive been skinny all my life and have had all sorts of crazy dieting habits and nothing
has made me gain weight T_T

[Hax]

I don't think you were being insensitive to chubby/fat people.

Personally, being on the fat/chubby side, I can only speak for myself but I'd rather be on the skinny side trying to gain weight. It's a lot easier to eat food than it is to restrict it, at least for me.

I'm sure if you measure out your calorie required to gain weight, you can easily gain weight. Gaining weight is going to be like losing weight. It's not going to be easy. Albeit its probably easier than losing weight. Eat calorie dense food like peanut butter. If you just eat 300-500 calories more a day than you normally do (1-2 servings of pb), you'll gain 1 lb a week. It will take some time to gain weight though. I'm not sure how HARD you've tried to gain weight, but you have to be pretty accurate in terms of what you are eating. You can't just eat and assume you ate a lot and you didnt gain weight the next day. It takes a lot of time to gain weight.

[duchess]

I used to be like that too. I never gained a pound but then I went on birth control and I started gaining everything I never could...

[Honey.bee]

You have bugs in your stomach, that's why you don't gain weight.

..

Just joking, that's what my uncle always say to me. You know, there's no such thing as "impossible", you've just got to try. You should feel blessed, there's so much obese people in this world, suffering to shed even just 1lb. :/ Go eat fast foods daily, stay indoors often, sleep after eating and you can see difference.

Well, right now. I've been only eating healthy food. I'm not allowed to eat flour so that automatically cuts out a lot of greasy food. :x My mom makes healthy korean food for me to eat everyday. But erhm, I have lots of meals everyday. I eat whenever I feel like it. Even when I went to Korea over the summer, I exercised a lot and ate wholesome and healthy food. ..Though I did eat a bit of junk food every now and then. I walked a lot every day for 2 months. And yet.. I didn't gain anything. :|

@flowoftime: I'm on b/c too! Didn't do anything with my weight...

[neon.zebra.oatmeal]

I'm sorry, but I would have to say it is easier to gain weight than to lose weight. To gain weight, you just have to be lazy and eat a lot of junk food and stuff. But to lose weight? Oh geez...
-running XX miles every day
-making sure not to slip once and eat junk food
-checking the calories on everything
Losing weight requires sweat, persistence, patience, and self-control. Gaining weight requires sloppiness.

And trying to lose weight myself, it's very difficult. I run two miles one day and make sure I don't eat anything unhealthy, but I feel the same the next day.

[kissAndRUN]

Wow, were like the same weight, dont worry hahaha.
I'm like 5'5 and 93 pounds.
anyways, i just get pissed off when people call me anorexic, like wtf, anorexia is an eating disorder and its not judged on your weight...even if i do look anorexic, which im not =.=
anyways, i dont think you were being that insensitive, maybe a little..but it wasnt offensive to me.
is your bf chubby? o-o

[TSignature]

I do think you're being insensitive. To lose weight is extremely difficult for some, like me. I have to eat totally healthy food, exercise for hours each day, drink tons of water and I just barely lose a few pounds. Then I get invited to a dinner party, I'm very cautious of what I eat yet the next day I gain back every pound I worked so hard to lose. Be glad you're skinny because at least when you get old, and your metabolism goes down, you'll settle comfortably at a healthy weight. The rest of us will get old and become the wonderful obese citizens of America >__< Sorry to sound harsh, but really, for someone to comment on how skinny you are is much nicer than people calling you fat. ;__;

[toxic-apple]

I don't really understand you at all!!


So you've tried everything to gain way and you couldn't? but you say fat people can lose weight easier if they wanted/determined to do so???

WEre you determined to gain weight? and did you gain it?

You shouldn't complaint that no one understand you! You can't even understand other people!!

At least you have a chance of having a bf. Do you think fat people can? Do you believe fat people don't try as hard as you do?

DON'T COMPLAINT just be happy and CONFIDENCE WITH YOUR BODY!! as you get older you'll lose that metabolism and I'm 100% sure you'll gain weight!!

so don't be mad at your bf!

@flowoftime: I'm on b/c too! Didn't do anything with my weight...

What you're saying kinda goes with exactly what I said, haha. You sound like you don't gain weight because you don't monitor how much you eat and plan to overeat. If your family meals are healthy and you eat junk food every now and then, you dont sound like you would gain weight. Why can't you eat flour btw? I gained like 15 lb over 9 months by eating dorm food! Granted, I was overweight at the time (meaning I can eat more to maintain my weight and gain weight), but that gives you the idea how long I had to overeat to gain that much weight.

Just eat calorie dense food o_o. Peanut butter, nuts, etc. You don't have to eat junk food, but it sure does help haha.
