Since I lost weight I’m struggling to regain all of it
Ok so I’m 2017 I had a problem with menstrual cycle where I bled more than 21 days each month for like 3-4 months .The problem was that I had offset my system because I purged myself too much. I was given birth control but it only worked for a few days and then I went to a private doctor and I was giiven pills that lower sugar level. I forgot the name . I took it for a week and everything went back to normal . I haven’t had any issues since a but during that time I lost some weight and I only gain back a few . Now I hate my size in order to gain some weight I ate a peanut butter sandwich right before bed . Now Ii am 20 years and I am 50kg or 110lbs (I hope I have the units correct) I weigh myself each week but it is still the same . I see pics of all my friends and they have grown or increases their weight my height (160cm) have not changed for the past 5 years and I have lost weight . I want to gain weight but I am struggling I don’t want to take protein powders so I make high protein drinks and I don’t have money to seek professional help . My friend saw me the other day and told me to start eating . Out of Yh e blue and I was already feeling skinny and frustrated

Hon,I really don't see a problem with your weight. Usually I hear of girls wanting to weight less, not more. When I was in HS, I weighed 110 and I am your height, approx. 5 ft 2+ inch. I didn't weight 120 until my kids were teens and now at 60 am 130. When I was 110 some people thought I was anorexic but I knew plenty of girls like me, real thin and frail looking but it was normal for us because it was inherited, coming from a Mom who was also tiny and thin and a petite bone structure. Now at 60, when I see a young girl in her twenties who is 110, I can see how people might think she doesn't weigh enough but I know different. What I don't know is if your Mom or Dad at age 20 were tiny and weighed lots less than anyone. It may be normal and you can't fight normal. If you want to gain weight protein powders is good but doesn't really put on weight, its alternative liquid food for those cutting back on carbs. Carbohydrates are what put on weight but its unhealthy weight, mostly fat. So if I were you, I wouldn't focus on my weight but learn if I am anemic in certain vitamins, minerals, etc. For example, with all the bleeding, if not taking Iron, you could be very anemic now and need supplements for a while. The best would be for Doctor to take blood to test for all your levels of vitamins and minerals. If you are low in any, then daily take the required dose. Once your body has everything it needs to function properly, then it should slowly gain weight over the years.
