how much should I weigh?
I'm 52 inches and 60 pounds. No joke. I've only grown an inch, and gained a pound. I was wondering if this is healthy? I eat a lot like 23 snacks beetween meals amd I've never missed a meal in my life. My mom says she was like me, she couldn't gain wait and now she's too fat. I take after my mom's side of the family, and they are all extremely skinny, none of them have a butt, LOL. I also get stomach flu at least once a year, and when I get it it's pretty terrible: I puke everything that touches my mouth, even toast, water, crackers, and even when I haven't eaten anything I puke. That lasts for 3 days. Is this normal?

About your weight, I'm not sure that's healthy. You're probably underweight. Maybe you have a fast metabolism? You could take some protein shakes or some supplments to gain some weight if you doctor thinks it's okay.
But about that stomach flu. I really was surprised to hear about that, because the same thing happens to me. Annually my stomach begins to just numb out, I lose appetite and then I start puking. I can't sleep, or do anything because after I stop eating, the pain in my stomach is horrible.
I was diagnosed with Severe Acid Reflux. And my doctor thinks I get these annual attacks because my reflux is triggered by strong emotions. Before I began High School I spent three days in the hospital, (after blacking out randomly about three times) because I was scared about getting bullied or not being able to fit in. (Thankfully nothing bad happened, and I even made friends.)
Then I got another attack a few days before I was supposed to go see my Dad, (apparently flying also makes me nervous or excited), and the pain was unbearable. So when important dates like these come up, I take my PrevAcid pills (they are awesome!) about a week before and try to stay calm.
So that "stomach flu" is not normal. I'm not saying it's Acid Reflux, I'm not doctor, but you should really consult your doctor about it.
Best of luck!
