I have really skinny little boney legs.. and I want to make them normal sized! They're soooo skinny it's embarrassing! My arms are skinny too, I've just always been this way. I eat alot and whenever I eat, I eat until I'm full. I don't eat many vegetables, mainly fatty things...but it's weird because it goes to my stomach and nowhere else! Is there something wrong with my metabolism or something? Because it seems like my food doesn't distribute properly...or is there anyways that I can build up my arms and legs? Is it just a muscle thing, or an eating thing? Thank you so much for any feedback!!

As to exercise, walking and running are great for legs. But if you want some killer muscles, try cycling, martial arts, or aerobics/dance. Even if you aren't a big fan of working out, keep looking until you find something you enjoy. Try the local YMCA for classes. [ VixenDark's advice column | Ask VixenDark A Question ]
Lola answered Saturday July 15 2006, 2:43 pm: Hey,
I've read your problem, and i understand what your going through, because i know other people who have that problem, and i have it too.
Its called mal-absorbtion. And its like when you eat something , it goes down as urine, therefore your body doesn't absorb the food you eat.
Thats why even if you eat alot,it all goes down immediately.
But don't worry, alot of people have that problem, and some of them just leave it like that,or there are certain medicines you can take for mal-absorbtion,but consult a doctor first.
And try to eat healthy, and eat things that can make you strong, (such as honey).More and more, you should take some vitamins again to give you energy.
Another thing, is that you can make a blood test to know if you have anemia or not, because it could be the reason that makes you weak and skinny.
So try to think things over, and consider what i said, and if you need any further help or advice, please be free to contact me. [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]
