Gaining Weight.
I usually weigh around 125 pounds (which is normal for me), but during the last month or so, I've been stressed out over exams and unintentionally lost some weight due to stress and poor eating habits. I weighed myself yesterday, and I was 116! I noticed my jeans are quite a bit looser now, but did not expect my weight to have gone down by as much as it has. So now, I'm trying to gain back the weight, so that I am between 120-125.. I am 23, F, and am about 5'5"-5'6"...needless to say ,I do miss the curves! I have a tendency to loose weight when I'm super stressed..i loose my appetite, skip breakfast, or even dinner...definitely not healthy.
But anyway, for those who know, what is a healthy way to gain back the weight? I don't want to have a fast food overdose, but still want to gain back around 6-8 pounds. I want to eat healthy, and get back in the habit of walking and doing yoga (long overdue!). Any tips are appreciated :)

Okay,
*Gets out her weight watchers book* ...
The minimum healthy weight for 5'5 would be 125 lbs
The maximum healthy weight would be 150 lbs.
The healthy way to gain your weight back is too make sure you eat right! and they always say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you feel stressed try to eat meals anyway even if it's just a banana or whatever. Watch your intake make sure your portion sizes are what they should be. Try to advoid any carbs they tend to get too you the most. You can excersize but make sure you don't over do it! If you avoid meals your body will think you are starving yourself and it will eventually build excess fat. If you want to snack try buying whole wheat crackers, bowl of mixed fruit, carrots etc. However like I said try doing the portion sizes. ;)
Good luck!

start eating on a normal schedule. if you can't make it for a meal make sure you have some sort of a power bar or snack around. and yes doing yoga does help, and maybe relax more. take more time for yourself.
