First of all, even though it might make you gain weight, Eating junk food all the time is very, very BAD for you. (even though i'm sure you already know this.)
Theoretically, you have to eat an extra 500 to 1,000 calories per day to gain of one to two pounds per week. Here are some easy steps to getting there:

1. Eat consistently. Every day, have three hearty meals plus one to three additional snacks. Do NOT skip meals!

2. Eat larger than normal portions. Instead of having one sandwich for lunch, have two. Eat three potatoes at dinner, instead of only two. Have a taller glass of milk, bigger bowl of cereal, larger piece of fruit.

3.Do strengthening exercises (weight lifting, push-ups) to stimulate muscular development so that you bulk-up instead of fatten up.

4.Select higher calorie foods and drink lots of juice and milk. Beverages are a simple way to increase your caloric intake.

I hope that this helps!

I know that eating lots of junk food seems like the easiest thing to do, but try to avoid it as much as you can, as it's bad for your health. Instead, try eating bigger portions than you may be used to. Of course, don't force yourself to eat too much, but try having snacks in between meals, or having more protein and carbs. I have the same issue as you do, but I think that it's better in the long run. But I can gain a few pounds myself. Try not to eat too much junk food, and focus instead on some of the above pointers. Oh, one of the previous collumnists mentioned that you can also try having protein shakes or something like that. .. I don't really know much about it. You can also try talking to a nurse or doctor about it...they can also advise you and let you know what normal weight would be for you.

There are many weight gain shakes and drinks out there, actually. Just look in the refridgerated foods section of your grocery store, I know there's a chocolate drink that my aunt drank to gain weight, which gave her great results!!
Sorry this isnt' so specific, though, but I hope this has helped a bit!!
