Everyone tells me I'm so skinny...?

[Anonymous]

Hey. This question is probably asked and answered so many times but I got to hear the answer for myself. Okay I'm 16, 101 pounds and about 5'5. I am not anerexic, but people ask me. I love food! ha ha as a matter of fact that's where my paycheck goes! ;) anyway I'm not as big as I want to be. I know that I'm supposed to eat protein, bread meat pasta bananas and such to gain weight. A meal every 2 hours. .. but there is never any food in this house. I eat breakfast and lunch and dinner. But even if I'm hungry, I don't normally get a snack because there isn't anything. I ask them over and over to get snacks. Any ideas of how I can put weight quick? Will guys not like me because I'm small? because they sure pick on it enough.

Nah, it can be cute. Plus, guys don't really care too much about size, and the ones that do, have types. They'd like the skinny types or the bigger girls, or chubbies. Everyone has their own tastes. So don't worry too hard about being too skinny.

Anyway, I don't know of any great ways to put on weight, fast, that are healthy for you. Especially if you don't have a lot of food in the house. Look, it sounds like you're at least a decent weight as is. Just eat when you're hungry, if you can, and don't stress it too much. I'm sure you'll be alright.

in the mean time, don't worry too much about your looks or whether or not guys like it. You'll be alright. So you're small. So you're skinny. So guys pick on you. Being small kinda makes you an easy target for teasing. So long as their jokes aren't outright cruel, then try not to let it get to you.

Good luck.

Thanks this made me feel a lot better :)

I'm glad. Because you shouldn't have to be down on yourself for this.

They pick on it cause they know they can get to U. Try to ignore it. When You don't react it is not as much fun. NO ONE is perfect. When the next guy says something, throw him a quarter, and say "give me a call when You become perfect...I'll be waiting by the phone" or some such thing. Don't worry about a bunch of guys liking you. Lotta girls who a bunch of guys like often don't have the respect of the guys -- just their lust. No one is perfect, but sometimes, two people fit perfectly together. So work on yourself, be the best 5 ft 5 101 lber You can be. Have fun with life, enjoy. That attracts the guys you want -- not some big butt party girl who the guys will use and leave. Cool?

I wouldn't worry about your still growing..I eats lots of junk food and I'm still called skinny but I can't see my ribs anyone so I guess I gained weight but that's because I stopped eating junk food and starting eating healthy..I use to be 104 lbs and 5'2 last year when I was 16 but I know I'm bigger because my pants size got bigger...if your not Asian or white then you might be called skinny because its uncommon in your area to be a certain siz or maybe that's just me

A guy is going to like you if you are healthy, period.

But since you want to gain weight, I would go for protein bars and shakes, or carb bars- the ones that runner take when they train. Chances are you can fit those into your schedule, and they don't fill you up so you can eat in addition to those. They are calorie dense too so a small bar is higher in calories.

wlel I have the same problem actually, its due to a very fast metabolism.

i have a really hard time geting some weight, I'm still strugling but I'm eating a lot more now.

in my house its the same hehe, no snacks, but if you have a banana or a sandwich, you'll do fine, just eat something every 2/3 hours

and personally, I kinda like skinny girls, but other guys may have different tastes or something like that

hope this helped and sorry for my English

[Asker]

Yeah you helped! thank you. and your English was fine hhaha

[DeepBlue]

You probably have a really high metabolism. Try eating foods that are slow-burning (eggs, nuts, apples, avocados, sweet potatoes, and fish, especially tuna). Lots of guys are really into petite women, so you should have no problems there ;)

[Asker]

Yeah I do have a quite fast metabolism haha. I will do that, thank you! :D

[ArrograntWarrior]

When did I say you are skinny ? see! I am not one of that everyone

[Asker]

hahahaha ;D
