advice

19/f i am scared. i am 5"4 and only like 92.5 pounds. i've been put on this medicine called remeron to help me gain weight but like before i keep gaining and losing. i am tired all the time, people use to ask me if i am anorexic, or tell me oh your so skinny. i mean i got made fun of a lot. and i can't believe i am saying this but i think i have started believing what other people say about me being anorexic. i do eat and it's not like i worry about how many calories i put in my body, i don't eat breakfast, but that's because i am always late for school be cause i get up in the morning and go on the computer. things are just getting worse for me. i look disgusting. my arms are like toothpicks, and so are my legs. i eat junk food. i did stop ea ting out for a while because i got sick of it, and plus at the time my mom wasn't working, but then she got her job back and i started into my old unhealthy routine. now i eat out almost everyday. but still no results. what should i do?

welll the goood news is you are not anerexic!
anerexic people refuse to eat and they think that they are obese when they are VERY skinny. its a psychological problem.

so what you should do is gain weight in a healthy manner. The foods you eat must supply you with much needed calories and give you all of the nutrients and phytochemicals that your body may have been missing for a while.

In order to gain weight, you need to consume more calories than you are currently taking in every day. You really shouldn't guess how many calories you need. (food log helps)

Remember that you need to choose healthy foods to really be healthy. This is especially important if you are recovering from an illness or have been undernourished for a long time. You want to gain weight and you want to improve your health as well.
