just realized the way I wrote out my question might be confusing. I meant to say Why don't I gain weight, if I eat so much all the time? hope this makes sense

Some people just don't gain weight when they eat a lot. It boils down to genetics and how their body works. I gain weight very easily, and I barely eat anything. I have friends who can eat truckloads of food and not gain an ounce. It's just how they are. They are very small framed, petite people, and I am a large full figured woman with a thyroid issue. My body just isn't able to process food in the same way.

As you get older you may gain weight. Your body will slow down, and it won't work as efficiently anymore and you may find yourself gaining more weight.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, just develop good habits now before you get older. Learn to eat well most of the time, balance treats with healthy foods. I have friends who were like you and now that they are older they are gaining weight. Not extreme amounts, as they are only in their early 20's, but they find they have to watch what they eat now. I am not gaining weight because I have good eating habits. I'm still big, but my weight isn't fluctuating because I have found that balance.

I would just focus on taking care of yourself even though you don't see the affects. I think that is the problem that faces a lot of people, especially people who were very athletic, and then when they stop they keep eating as though they are athletic still. You just have to keep healthy habits.

It all depends on your metabolism. And lucky for you (and me) we have higher metabolism rate. Your metabolism will slow down eventually once you're older, so don't go thinking that you can eat anything you want for the rest of your life because if you eat the same amount and whatever you want, it will affect you later in life. I'm the same as you though, I'm 5'2" and 100 lbs, yet I eat as much as my dad who's 6'4" sometimes and the most I've ever weighed is about 104 (once a year during Christmas this happens haha).

lol cool, and yea maybe I should slow down with the fast food right. I mean I am not ashamed of my weight and don't think and e one should. I just don't understand how there can be people who clown on others. No one is perfect and being different is what makes us unique.

Theree no 'free lunch' with eating. You simply have an active life style anda re using up all the calories you consume. You might also have a naturally high netabolism, but that would be a minor factor. You must either be really into exercise, or you have a job that keeps you moving

There are some illnesses that would make it hard to gain weight regardless of how much you eat, but at your age, I doubt it would be that, and you don't mention any symptoms

dude, I am the same way. I am 22 and I have been like that my whole life. I seriously have around 4k calories a day and I have never been about 140lbs

[RicoSuave]

I guess it's good in a way. .

[Quarty]

Because you're lucky. :)

Even though you are young and staying skinny, you shouldn't eat just junk food. It's not good for your body. Try to throw in some healthy stuff too!

[RicoSuave]

first of let me say you have a beautiful smile, second yea we can say I am lucky. N I don't know I don't like healthy, I mean who does really lol. . But yea I will look into healthy food

[Quarty]

Oh thanks! :)

I'm not exactly a health master, but try to eat more foods that you make yourself. Nothing wrong with learning from the grandparents.

I'm like that as well, we just have a higher metabolism then others.

but yes, it slows done when you get older, I'd maintain a healthy/normal eating habit now so it won't affect you so much when your older.

[tatiiee]

i'm not gonna lie, I'm hating on you at this very moment :P

[RicoSuave]

lol :(

[DebiPie]

Bragger! lol

Be careful, that may not last a lifetime...

[yopyopyop]

You have a fast metabolism.

[RicoSuave]

you think my fast metabolism stop at some point?

[Darkfairie17]

Your metabolism will naturally slow as you get older. Bodies stop working as efficiently. Best way to counteract this is to develop healthy habits, make sure you get regular exercise and throw in some healthy eating. It's okay to indulge, just don't do it as often :)
