I'm too skinny How can I gain weight
Posted: 10-05-05 11:12am

Hi~
I am yet another woman complaining about looking too skinny.
I'm a stay at home mom of my 9 year old daughter who doesn't have me running all over as most kids do with their parents, i'm 31 yrs old, naturally active, i'm 5'6 small framed.

I have been at a great 122lbs before & looked great! This was before I got pregnant 9 years ago. I have been struggling with being underweight for almost 5 years now. I have always been thin my whole life but not being underweight.


I am always fluctuating between 103-107 lbs now. I drop weight easy in
1 day if I or if I don't intake the 3 meals plus the in between snacks & my chocolate milk.

I started drinking chocolate milk. Per each 2 cups are 420 calories. I drink a total of 6 cups & thought that would help.....Nope!


I try to do less to not try to burn off the weight may have that high metabolism as well as the others have expressed in this forum. There has to be a way to gain that weight somehow... I am so frustrated!! Ughh

I read what I need to try eating & I have, but just how much is recommended to see results. Being underweight can be seen as a blessing to some, but to those who "live it" it's horrible.... My self body image is poor. Help is appreciated. Thanks to those who respond.
