Advice

Ok, so this is a kind of weird thing to be complaining about but I'm really skinny. This doesn't bother me, either way, I don't try to control what I eat or anything, so it's just natural (my mom, and like all of my sister have the same kind of build too). But the doctor has said that she thinks I need to gain more weight (how exactly...?) and then my friends are always making remarks. Especially this one friend who has confessed to being jealous of me for being skinny who always makes me feel kind of... guilty, because she'll be like "your so lucky that you're skinny." and then I feel like I have to say something, but what exactly?

Any ideas on how I should handle these problems? :/

Duuudee... O,o Me and Izzie have this friend, her name is Nathalie, and she is WAYYYY to skinny! [And she has gas problems. >,> Toxicated gas. -,-]

I have no idea how you can gain a bit.. [Other then eating 24/7 and being a couch potato. XD]

I think there are some kinds of granola bars or something that make you gain weight. But, I saw it on Mean Girls so they may or may not exist. xD

Well, you could try eating less filling foods, so you can eat more. Like, steak, I think, isn't very filling (I can usually eat it forever, but that may just be me being a human stomach. *-*). Or you could try eating little snacks throughout the day. I think you aren't supposed to do that if you're on a diet, so it might work.

(P.S, I love your avvie. Whales ftw! )

I get full, fast. So.. even steak fills me up, fast. XD I think I could only have one. And then I'd die if I had more. XP

Nyway.. g'luck, Jade!

Just tell your friends that being skinny is overrated. (But only if you actually believe it. xD And you should, if the doctor's telling you to gain weight.)

As for gaining . . . sit in front of the computer for a few days in a row with some sort of snack food nearby, anything with a lot of carbs (LIKE COOKIES!), and nibble on it as you use the cpu. And have seconds at meals, and don't exercise.

I do hope you enjoy that. xD I'm trying to lose weight . . . so that's exactly what I'd like to do, but can't be.

Or, maybe you could try eating a lot, and exercising. That would probably just keep you skinny, but it might give you some muscle or something. I dunno. o.0

If you want to gain weight, you could try eating more and excersicing/doing physical activites less, like everyone else has said. xD

However, if other members in your family have the same build, that might not work. My science teacher was talking about calories and stuff and he said that if people in your family are usually skinny even if they eat a lot, it might be in your genitics that you have a high metabolism or something. So eating a lot may not help in that case. =/

Ask your doctor, 'cuz we're not medically trained. xD

Tell your friends that its better to be skinny than fat XD That's what I do.

This happened to me a few years back and I drank SlimFast. Haha, sounds weird, but that's what the doctor told me to do. I'm not a doctor, though! xD

Haha, some of these replies and making me laugh

1st- The doctor didn't say anything like "Jade, this is very serious. If you don't gain weight you could DIE" it was more like "Jade, your a little on the low weight side. You should drink power fat drinks" and I'm scared to try a powder drink because it sounds gross.

2nd- I already eat like a ton of junk food xD Like seriously my diet is extremely unbalanced, about 50% of it is made up of doughnuts and chips Maybe I should try eating less junk food... i dunno

3rd- Pugs, does "slimfast" make you GAIN weight? XD

I know that it makes you more full, and it has a lot of nutrients and vitamins and what not. xD

Ahh, ok Well thanks for the suggestion.

You're supposed to have it so you get more calories and drink it in addition to your regular diet.

You welcome.
