Well, you're not in too bad of a situation. I'm sure there are tons of girls out there wishing that they had problems being too skinny!!! But yeah, I understand why you want to put some meat on yourself. First of all, DON'T just eat a ton of candy and junk to gain weight. That's really bad for you. Instead, try adding about 600 extra calories into your day. If you eat a few handfuls of pistachios ((or some other kind of nut you like)), then that's 500 calories. Add a banana in there (100 cal.), and you've reached your 600 extra cal. quota. Also start working out some to add some muscle weight. You'll be fine in high school. Love yourself for who you are. ....AND IT'S GOOD TO BE TINY!!! [ Berri's advice column | Ask Berri A Question ]

Rhiannon05 answered Thursday June 3 2004, 5:11 pm: Sometiems you're just born light. I know I am, and sometimes it makes you feel uncomfortable being so small around people who aren't. I know the feeling exactly. However, I don't think there's any need for you to gain weight. Talk to your mom/dad, or to a doctor. If nothing is WRONG, then there is no need for you to gain weight. I felt uncomfortable about my weight earlier this year, but nothing was wrong, I was just born small. There wasn't anything I could do about it. You just have to respect the fact that everyone is different, and that no matter who you are, you're someone special. My, that sounded corny. Sorry. Hope it helps.

theone04 answered Thursday June 3 2004, 2:30 pm: If you are 14 then maybe you will grow to be a little bigger but for now just eat but not a lot because that is unhealthy. Another reason why you may be like this is because you might have a slow matabilism. Dont worrie and if you are worried go to a doctors. [ theone04's advice column | Ask theone04 A Question ]
