Toning out/gaining muscle weight
15/f
Ok I'm not fat at all(15 and weigh 80lbs & NOT annorexic or belimic)
I want to know how to gain weight by being healthy which I thought toning my body out would work. (any other suggestions??)
I don't have weights to lift and don't want my parents to know so I don't wanna go out running.
Oh and every school year I get put down by people calling me annorexic or belimic and I don't know how to deal. Sometimes its my own friends.(but not my super close ones who know how much I eat).
I hate how I look in a swim suit because I think you can see my ribs so I don't like wearing one in front of a bunch of people, they always look at me!! (suggestions??)
PLEASE HELP!!!!

The site above was tips to gain weight, I think?
You can go out running before they wake up, at like 5:30-6AM? I know, it's summer, but if you want to dedicate yourself to gain [muscle] weight, than you should at least try it out for a week. As for lifting weights...if you can't get to the gym or have no weights at home, you can definitely help around the house by carrying heavy things upstairs or cleaning the house or moving the furniture, although I don't think your parents will particularly like this. You can do push ups, curls ups, crunches, lunges, squats, and whatever in the secrecy of your room, too. I'm presuming that those will help you gain muscle? But try and gain weight by building lean muscles. Gaining weight by fat is useless since all the fat is going to go directly to your tummy and nowhere else.
As for the people who call you anorexic or bulimic, tell them that you're not and if they don't want to believe it, tell them that you'll go out and eat at a fast food place with them and sit and stare for 5hrs. Haha. But don't mind them much. If they don't want to believe you, that's their fault and they'll get over it one day.
& wear one piece swimsuits if 2 piece makes you feel uncomfortable. Hmm, yeah. I pretty have no answer for the swimsuit thing =/

It is tough when you are young and your body is changing to feel confident about it however just try to be safe in the knowledge that you will grow into your body.
You do not mention what height you are however, if you are taller than 4'7 then you are underweight and quite rightly should be looking to put on weight. At 4'7 your BMI would be 18.6 which only just makes it into the normal wieght category.
I would suggest that if you would like to do this healthily and add lean body mass (lean muscle) then you should ask your parents to take you to a dietician. I know you said that you don't want your parents to know that you are exercising etc however a dietician will be able to advise you of the right types of food for you to eat to gain lean body mass and what to avoid to stop you gaining to much weight too quickly as well as advise of exercise regimes etc to keep you healthy.
As for being confident about your body, this comes from loving the person you are on the inside and not giving two hoots about what other people think of your outside appearance. Remember this always - If you love yourself, others will soon follow suit.
I hope this helped and if you have any other questions, please email me.
