I am way too skinny, please help

soniiiety · 2018-03-03 10:10:08

as most of you know about me being sick since 2015 september, I had a weight problem similar to zoey.

I been getting skinny but my weight on scales say im 52 kg, when i look 44kgs all over again,

I look like im a really poor man, from africa, my ribs hurt and feels like my skin is stretching.

I want to be fat, I hate being skinny.

I couldn't even have a hair cut sitting on the chair,because I felt like above^, and I feel like I can't breathe with asthma.

I really felt like blood cut as well, my tummy got worse as well, I wish,

I never have wished to be skinny, when I was fat, thats when I was 12 I wished that.

I think I have anorexic, but my mum says I don't.

If what you say is true, you definitely have anorexia. Now there are two ways to get anorexia, so I have no idea which one you have.

The first way is refusing to eat. People usually think that if you just eat a lot less than you should, you lose weight, but this carries a lot of negative side effects. Sadly there is no easy route if this is the case, since you've trashed your metabolism from not eating for so long, so getting back on track is gonna be tricky. I would reccomend to just try eating food that contains more sugar and/or fat, since not only are they really good in terms of taste, but they are excellent at providing extra calories for your body. However this doesn't mean you can only eat unhealthy food, try to eat more meat such as chicken or beef. Don't force yourself to eat, but try to eat as much as you can until you are full, and just let your body recover on it's own.

The second way to get anorexia is if your metabolism is too fast, so even if you eat a lot, you won't gain much weight.
This one is even harder to solve since you can't do much about it except feed it as much food as it desires. By some this is considered great since you can eat anything you want and not gain weight, though the people who have fast metabolisms are more susceptible to anorexia.

In either case, tell both your parents that you believe you have anorexia and don't take no as an answer here. Anorexia is really serious and both your parents need to know that you need help.

I thought (and a quick Google seems to confirm) anorexia is a mental illness that means you want to be skinny, not just not eating enough. If so then the fact that you don't want to be skinny shows that you don't have it.

You should also do some research into what weight you should be, as 52kg can be a healthy weight for some people around the age I'm guessing you are (I can't for you because you need to know your age, height etc.)

How much do you eat?

hummerz5 · 2018-03-03 21:40:25

^ Calorie count is important

You seem to let your hot air out a lot, though. When was the last time you tried it?

I'm also underweighted. MrJawapa recommended me once over Discord weight gain protein bars, and they really helped me(thanks again btw).
I don't consider myself anorexic although I'm skinny. I want to gain weight but it's very hard. People assume getting fat is easy but it's not. It's as hard as losing weight.
You have to push yourself to eat as much as you can, even if you're not hungry. Don't exaggerate however, if you eat too much all of the sudden you're going to puke and loose even more weight.
Try eat what you like. I've been eating the same thing for a month for dinner and it really paid off.
In my case I was also having a terrible low ratio of D3 vitamin, which is essential for preserving the nutrients in your body. And I had to make injections every week for a month or two to get back on track.
Also you can practice a sport to get you more appetite, or just walk daily.

wow I never knew exercise made me hungry, I really wish, I can eat some food, but i can't, I get sick and

I feel like spewing when I do try and my tummy hurts as well, I can't eat peanut butter or normal spreads, I also get sick if I eat the same food everyday.

I also have to change food and its annoying, I get scolded for not eating the same food every day like my rest of family, they think it is mental or that I am faking it.

can you give me links or something, so I can know what those weight gain protein bars are?, and what you use?.

I don't know what kind and I use enssure, but it doesn't work. what do you recommend?.

I don't know if I am able to reach that, because of the food we have at home.

Zoey2070 · 2018-03-04 05:19:06

well I tried many times, they say I am normal, and that I got nothing wrong with me.

it might be my metabolism fault, and ensure is good, but really bad as well, because it has a lot of sugar in it, thats if you read the thingy,

A random calculator thing I found online says that your healthy weight would be from 57 - 80 kg, so yes you are underweight, although not massively

I was in hospital for two weeks when I was 44 kgs, and then they sent me out when I reached 55 kg, I have been wanting to get higher weight, but its not working, because i keep going under 50kgs or not even that high.

LukeM · 2018-03-05 00:05:11

So yes, although I guess you probably don't have anorexia, you probably do have some problem. The only advice I can give you is to listen to your doctor and parents, as they probably know a lot more about your condition than we do, and doctors are professional in this sort of thing, don't take the advice of random forumers over theirs.

also I found out what my actual weight was, 47 kgs, and that is the scales the home one, my mom's boyfriend gave her, so I think the doctors one is broken.
