How can I gain weight? Why am I LOSING weight?

[Anonymous]

I want to be supple and voluptuous beauty.

I have been stuck at 118-125lbs since high school and I wouldn't gain much even if ate everything in sight. I have been eating way more than usual because my goal is to gain 10lbs (maybe more) but somehow I am LOSING weight. I'm almost eating double what I normally do. My exercise regimen is the same. Should I stop working out? I want to be bigger but not fat. I'm going for the tiny waist with big thighs, butt, and boobs look.

I'm half Asian if that matters.

You most likely you just have a high metabolism that most people would kill for, as you are still pretty young. I have a friend who basically gave up on trying to gain weight because it didn't matter how much he ever ate, he NEVER GAINED A POUND. But unexplained weight loss can also be a sign of other conditions, especially if in conjunction with anxiety, sleeplessness, or other symptoms.

Two years ago my brother was was lifting weights and force feeding 3500+ calories a day, trying to gain 15lbs. Instead, he lost 30 lbs and looked rail thin. Turned out he had Grave's Disease (or a hyperactive thyroid), which was originally misdiagnosed as generalized anxiety disorder. The point of the story is, it never hurts to see a doctor. And it never hurts to go into the doctor's office informed and with plenty of questions.

I'm not having other symptoms. I have lost 2lbs this week.

Big thighs/butt? You want muscle. Try some weighted squats and deadlifts. Focus on eating protein and complex carbs, specifically carbs, and I guarantee... you will gain weight.

How do I do weighted squats? I know nothing about weightlifting, I'm someone that just does a bunch of cardio.
This is how I wan to look

I was always scrawny too and could never gain weight. Then I started drinking beer. -pats my beer belly-

I don't mind if I'm a bit pudgy but I don't a big gut.

You should just learn to love your body the way it is. Personally, I don't find that girl very attractive, a slimmer girl like you would be much more appealing.

*shrugs* I think she's hot

[jointhepatriarchy]

Well I'd wager you're hotter, being petite and Asian and all. Mexican girls tend to have big booties, but they also tend to explode like an airbag during a car crash when they get older. Asian girls age a lot better from what I've observed.

[Asker]

I'm not petite. I'm a tall asian.

[jointhepatriarchy]

That's even better.
