Why can't I gain any weight??

Question

Im 26 years old. I have 2 kids, a 6yr old and 1 yr old. I have been skinny my whole life....When I was a teenager I was REALLY skinny. I cosider myself healthy. I like all types of foods, fruits, and vegetables. People are sometimes surprised by how much I eat. I have never been anorexic or bulimic! My mom used to tell me "Oh, don't worry, when you get older you will fill out, especially if you have kids!" Well, I'm older now and I have TWO kids....why the h**l am I still so d**n skinny!?!? I'm exactly 5ft tall and I weigh 93 lbs. I know I may have a high metabolism. But I honestly have never seen or met another woman with kids who was as small as me!!! I feel less of a woman because of this. I feel insecure and have really low self esteem. I don't go into Victoria's Secret or anything cuz I know they have NOTHING in my size. I can't wear s**y clothes or dresses or skirt becuz I hate my legs. I dont wear shorts in the summer and when I do I get stared at by other "normal" women....Can someone please tell me how I can gain weight??? I have tried weight gainers from GNC and they don't work...

Answer 1

omg you are as tall as I am and weigh the same too... I have one son and  right after I had him, I dropped all that pregnancy weight in like 4 months, and I loved it!  For the first time in my life I actually liked the way I looked I was at 115lbs and then at 108 and I kept losing it till I got to 93lbs and now I don't gain weight anymore and I hate it just like you I was always thin my entire life.  Maybe it's just the way we are?  I don't know, I hate it as much as you do but it helps to surround yourself with positive people that don't put you down because they want to lose weight and you (we) don't gain weight no matter how much we eat.I never wear skirts or shorts either because I'm just as insecure.  How many meals do you have per day?  

Answer 2

y do u want to gain wait trust me just be happy with bieng skiiny!

Answer 3

first you shouldn't be minding what other people say about you especially if they don't know you because they are just judging you. maybe you lack vitamins, water and exercise

Answer 4

It's also in your genetics... you kind were meant to be skinny.

A high metabolism relates to that as well.

If you're so desperate then get plastic surgery (bigger b***s implants in the thighs), but I personally think that you need to accept the fact that you are who you are and you should love yourself for it.

By the way, eating fatty foods wont necessarily help you gain weight but make you body feel unhealthy and unfit.

(Be a model (lol) then girls will be envious, (I'm sure you've got time left) ;) )

Answer 5

try having ring dings, yodos, hohos, along with some full fat donuts and ice cream

Answer 6

no no no no no  no noooo

you are a VERY LUCKY WOMAN!!

do you know how many women wish they could be like you?!!

you shouldn't feel bad at all about this.

you're incredibly lucky.!!

everyone is different. trust me. you are small because that is how you are mEANT to be. you shouldn't be trying to be something you aren't!!

you are LUCKY!!!

most women complain about being big.

you're sooo lucky. there are more women that want to be like YOU!

you have to realize that women are quick to become jealous.

it's just you!! be YOU! be happy for what you have!!

Answer 7

You might have diabetes. Ask a doctor or physician that you know can help you. And the h**l with the people staring at you. You should be fine with who you are. Sure I have doubts but I don't give a straight forward d**n of what those losers think.

Answer 8

Oh I second that! I am 22... 5'2 and 95 lbs....not anorexic either!

My sister is 30, has popped out 2 kids, one is 12 and the other is 1 and a half, and she weighs less then me!! so your not alone! Theres probably not much u can do exept try to eat more fattening foods. I know how this feels though. I love being tiny, but I dont like going to victoria secret either it makes me feel like Im still 12 years old! Good luck & let me know if you find somethin out!!

Answer 9
