| Someday you'll thank yourself that you kept that skinny. When all those kids grow up and get fat, you'll be glad you stayed skinny. Be happy with your body. Plus if you do put on weight its extremely hard to get rid of it. |

| Try to eat a diet of at least 2000 calories a day , do some light weights and cardio to build up tissue. Eat foods with alot of carbohydrates and proteins. |

| The only thing that I can think of is weightlifting and high calorie protein shakes. |

| Eat lots of fruits/veggies, lean meats, pastas, breads, drink more then the average amount of milk. Drink a lot of water and have an exercise program that doesn't require endless reps and sets. Be consistant, visualize what you want your body to look like and write down your goals and begin with the end in mind meaning you've already achieved your goals and now its to you to prove how you did it. Do it for yourself not for anybody else. Be peaceful about your exercise and know it feels good and not painful. |

| I recently went on a "diet" to try and gain weight. I was 5'4" and weighed 103 pounds. I totally understand how you feel. People have no idea how much it hurts to have someone call you anorexic or chicken legs. And how many times have we heard the line "you'll appreciate it when you're older". Well, now I'm older and I still don't appreciate it. I was able to put on 15 pounds by drinking three of the Ensure Plus drinks per day and having several snacks in between meals. I ate a lot of healthy food that was high in good fat such as peanuts and almonds. I kept track everyday of the number of calories I had and just forced myself to eat more. I also found a weight gain calculator online that told me the exact number of calories that I needed to eat in order to gain weight. Good luck to you. I know how you feel. |
