Dieting
I'm 10lbs underweight, I need to gain weight. Now that I identified the problem I want to fix it, but I think I have an eating disorder. I hate to eat around other people and some days I don't eat at all. How can I gain weight? I look anorexic.

You have to eat carbs and calories, Fabulousk is right!

Drinking slimfast WITH meals does the oppisite effect of what it's made for and causes you to gain weight. Eat 3 meals a day, don't over do it because you can gain weight too fast and it's unhealthy for your heart and body. Rapid weight gain also gives your stretch marks : so take it slow and eat healthy. You can also consider therapy. They'll set you up with an excellent nutritionist who helps A LOT.

I agree that you need to speak with a doctor about your aversion to eating around other people.
In the meantime, to keep yourself somewhat healthy, take vitamins and set aside time where you can eat alone - maybe when you first wake up or right before you go to bed. If you don't have a problem drinking around people, join them for lunch and get a milkshake. Drink "meal in a can" type things, like slimfast or boost. (Slimfast is aimed for people who are trying to loose weight, but a low calorie meal is better than no meal at all.) For quick snacks you can eat just about anywhere, try energy bars. They only take a few min to eat, and tend to have quite a few nutrients in them. You can also carry a sandwich bag with goldfish, graham sticks, trail mix, dry cereal, or anything else that you can grab a handful of and toss in your mouth when you've only got a few min alone.

What you could do is either see youre doctor just to make sure nothing major is wrong like anorexia. then what you could do is keep a food journal. you write down everything thing you eat a day in order and write the time before it. My cousin was so skinny my aunt got her a food journal because my cousin literally looked anerexic. after a month or so she was in shape and was skinny but heathy and no longer anerexic looking. Now this food journal isnt anything special. if you want just use a notebook. something you could keep your records in. hope this helps :) good luck! hope everything works out!;) -xox- *amanda1291*

To gain weight, you need to eat food that has a lot of carbs and calories. I think you should really talk to a doctor about this because it isn't normal that you can't eat in front of people and not eating at all sometimes. Talking to a doctor would be the best advice for you. Hope I helped :)

Well, this would sound like you might want to consider taling to either a doctor or a counselor about this issue - it might be anxiety or some other issue that causes you to feel ill at ease when consuming food around others. I don't think anyone here is equipped to really give you the real help you might need. In all seriousness, talk to a doctor about this.
