I'm a 13 year old female, who is about 5'1. I'm not anorexic, if you might think that. I have three meals a day, and usually a snack in between. However, I can't gain weight. I would eat more than that, but I just am not hungry enough for the three meals and occasional snack. My family tells me that a very fast metabolism runs in the family, so that is problematic in this case. I have been underweight my whole life, as far as I know, weighing in at only 60 lbs at one point. At that weight, ribs were poking out and all. Thankfully, I've gained about 20 lbs since then, but I'm still very far from the "norm". I'd like to know if anybody else is struggling with this. If there are, any help?

Just noticed an error. I meant I was only hungry enough for the 3 meals & occasional snack. Sorry for that
