I used to be like that too, real skinny, and then went into the hospital and they put me on steriods to help my lungs build back up and break the fluid up, and I ended up coming out of the hospital a new non-smoker and gained around 40 or so lbs, and on a 5'0" tall person it makes me look like I am way more overweight than that.. Thing is though, I am happy with myself despite that. You have to look inside yourself and be happy for being you, not what you look like and how much you weigh. I so much hate to hear a young person like myself think they arent what they should be because they weigh too much or too little. Ya know? Our media has so put out the wrong msg's to especially females, and its not right. The average size of females in the US is like a size 12-14... If you think you need to gain some weight I think there is a certain type of vitamins or something you may can take to help you gain a few lbs, but dont worry about what others think of you, just be yourself and happy with what you do have  *huge hugs* Hope I have helped.  |

I did the exact same thing. I was chubby and people poked fun of the chubby one. So I did it the absolutle WRONG way. I went aneroxic for almost 2 years. I lost the weight and I love my body more then anything now, but everyone says I am either "too skinny" or "WAY too skinny" I really don't think so. I have a flat stomach and toned hips and a butt. Not like before...before I was round all around and I hated it. Go to your doc, or call as ask how much u should weight for your height...that will tell u wether ur too skinny or not. Don't worry about it hunnie. My bf is after me to eat all the time. he says I am too skinny. But I know he'd love me if I was 10 lb or 1000 lb. So, call ur doc and talk to someone in the office. They'll help you out. *hugg n luv* Sarah...  |

Do what makes you happy...but also do what's healthy...I'm curvy...I eat, i'm happy...I'd like to be a few pounds lighter, but I'd still want some meat on my bones, so do what works for you  |

Is it you that's not happy with yourself or is it the people around you that aren't happy with yourself? Before you start changing the way you look on the outside you have to make sure you like the way you are on the inside because if you don't you'll always be ugly in your eyes and there will always be something to change no matter how beautiful you truly are. Sometimes the most beautiful person is the person most comfortable with who they are. You seem to have the problem that you just don't like what you look like after you spent all that time changing it, but if you really want to change your weight and increase it eat more in moderation and do cardio-aerobics like jogging, plyometric work outs you can do on your stairs and those definitely help with your legs as well as stamina and blood pressure, sit ups/crunches are easy and fun, it depends on whether you want to put on muscle weight or fat weight too. =-bootz-=  |

it's gonna sound kinda cheesy of me saying this- but don't worry about what other people think. *I'm trying to think back to health and about what was said about gaining/losing weight... i THINK {think being the keyword} that if you want to gain weight, eat foods with higher carbohydrates? maybe? i dunno, it's eat foods with a higher something*  |
