I am 21yrs old, 5foot 1inch and i weigh 89 pounds. I have no real appetite but i try to eat a lot. Nothing I do seems to make a difference. I eat fatty foods but I still cant gain weight. When i got pregnant i gained 50 pounds. After giving birth I was 128pounds for a while but It soon started to drop off even though i wasn't working or doing anything for exercise. I am concerned with the fact that I'm underweight. My mother is also thin but I really want to gain weight. Please help me.
Hi:
If you have not been checked for other medical problems, that would be a good start. Perhaps your thinness could be genetic. Have you been checked for a thyroid condition? This could cause a weight loss problem too. Se a physician about your concerns and get other problems ruled out. Also check your nutritional habits and get some consult there. Eating a lot of fatty foods is not a good plan. That can cause you a lot of other problems down the road. Google "Food Pyramid" to see what your daily nutritional plan should look like. I know that you will find answers soon. Please let us know how you are doing. We will look forward to hearing from you.
