In terms of food I'm not finicky though there is some foods that it's not my favorite but I can still eat it. I was born healthy but when I'm starting to grow up, I'm getting slender till now my body has no changes nonetheless I eat in a great quantity. I know why I became like this due to fast digestion which we called metabolism. I'm happy that I have this kind of absorption but now I want to have a meager of weight at least. Can you drop a suggestion for me on how to become a bit of weighty? :)

We are the same nelerksz! i am really fond of eating any kind of foods. And the good thing is i don't get fat,Whenever i feel hungry i never hesitate to eat.I think that when i got pregnant and have a child my body will change and i will now get fat but i never happened, i ma still slim and as if nothing reaLLY changes. ahaha i don't know but i guess if i will get a little older i will surely gain weight and become fat.

We have same case here my friend! haha XD Just like you I was born healthy and kind of chubby too, I remember when I was a child my cheeks are kind of big that's why my cousins keep on poking it. But now, maybe because of puberty stage, I loss weight and now I want to gain it back. I tried monitoring my weight for about 3 months now. I keep on eating lots of rice each meal and luckily I'm gaining little by little. I'm aiming of gaining a total weight of more than 50 kilo by the end of this year and I hope I'll make it. :)

First of all keep away from your mind the wrong thinking that eating much makes you fat. Digestion of a person varies from a person to a person. A little food is enough for some body and for others heavy food. Body of all the persons is not similar and it has its own limits and it acts accordingly. So enjoy eating and enjoy life fully, only take a proper precaution.

Hi,
I don't eat a lot. But my son eats a lot. In his school and college time he used to eat very much but he was very thin. But now after getting job he is gaining weight. Now his health is very good. From childhood up to the age of 22 he was very thin and have the same confusion like you. But at that time his height was increasing. So don't worry you will gain weight. You should join gym for weight gaining.

Oh how I wish I am like you! I love to eat but I just really need to control because even when I eat only one or two sumptuous meals, I can really feel the additional weight and additional inch on my waistline instantly. I am totally opposite as you... I easily get fat! I mean FATTER because I am fat now... And my metabolism is slow... I even skip 2-3 days... Well, I know it runs through the bloodline... My mom and dad are not fat. But my mom's sister, and my dad's sisters are!
WHy not go to a dietrician and ask for some sort of advice? Maybe you need some food supplement? I do not know what kind but it's better to ask proper people.

Maybe you got the same problem I had years go.
I was eating less and gained a lot of weight
They took a simple blood test and found out that my thyroid is not producing anymore
Since then I take one pill a day and I lost more weight then ever.
When your thyroid is over producing it works the other way you can eat for two and still lose weight.

Yes, i figured that out too because one time I had edema and really i felt so bloated. Have executive check up. eco 3d sound check for the heart, hypothyroid and all blood test, everything. Until the doctor really found out what's the cause of my edema, it was this pee. so he gave me Lasix for the pee problem and it took me around 5 to 7 minutes peeing, the longest peed I ever had. then, eventually my edema was gone. My metabolism probably LOL.

I am a lot like you . . . I can eat a boat load and never get "fat". But you look at my family - and it's in the genes - most are slender and that's just the way it is (fortunately). I've always eaten whatever I wanted (I'm not that picky either) and I get hungry again later on. In a sense, it is good we have that high metabolism to keep our weight down - but do get it checked out. I know of people who have a super high metabolism that it is actually considered a disorder of some sort that they are on medication for it. Some people have also told me that this may be a symptom of having diabetes as well. My friend's mother and I discussed this the other month . . . she tells me she eats tons and can't gain weight at all no matter what she eats - and she was worried about diabetes, but the doctor said she was just fine. Get a physical first if you can and see what the doctor says - just to rule out any medical issues.

Wow, that's super cool! I like to have that kind of metabolism too. Years back I was as thin as a stick. But now, I can easily balloon, but I'm always conscious of my weight. When I overeat now, I am sure to slow down in my next meals. That is why I am not really obese, but just a little over my ideal weight. But I'm not thin.

i know many persons, who eat a lot to gain weight, but it doesn't help, similarly there are chubby persons who do lot of dieting, exersise to lose weight, again of no use, in my opinion it is heredity , our genes decide what should be our weight.
Thanks for sharing.

I have a lot to share regarding this topic^^ . when i was a kid,i was very fat,but when i was growing up,i became slender and slender,no matter what i ate,how mch i ate,i just can not get any weight. I once think i have problem in thyroid,but after a series of physical check up,i was fine. through my experience,food and exercise can influence a person's weight,but herreedity is also a factor.You cannot just gain weight by eating much,moreover,i do believe mood is another factor tooo.i used to have a high pressure job and i worked overtimne almost everyday.plus there were a lot of things happended everyday and i became very moody and exhausted. Until i met my husband,we went on so well and he lets me feel clam and always tried to make me happy. he supported me to change the job,i did. later on ,we got married,with him,i love him much and we have a happy family time. Guess what ? i gain 5 pounds !!^^^ this is the very first time i gain weight since i was born. so hey,maybe you can try to adjust your life style and be happy and active.

Based on your situation, why you became like slender because you do have lot of activities in your work. It would help to increase your metabolism, that's a good thing though.. Maybe we can adjust our lifestyle as what you had said. I'm happy that you are gaining after the marriage.. Stay healthy :)

I envy you :(, :D why? because even if I eat a little one but still I'm fat. So that's why I decided not to control my food intake, for the sake of losing weight. I think I need to do more exercises.

It's the first time that I know someone like you want to gain weight, people around me are eating medicine for losing weight, I believe when they know your situation, they must admire you so much.
Don't worry about your weight, dear. Good health is the most important for a person.
But if you really want to be fat, maybe you can have more meat, eat more sweet things, though they may be not healthy, they may help you to gain weight.

People around you has a problem in metabolism that's why they will get fat easier when they even eat a meager. Yes I do eat meat and whatsoever but my target is to drink milk because it's an effective nutrient. Hopefully I can reach my goal to gain a bit of weight. Thanks for sharing. :)

OMG, I so envy you! If I can have that fast metabolism I would really love it so much. I love to eat so much but I get fat easily. My metabolism is so slow and I hate it. I would really want to be able to enjoy food without worrying about gaining weight. If you would really want to gain weight you can check with a nutritionist and get an advice on how you can gain wait.

I am on the same boat as you. I eat a lot but I never get fat. I tried hard to gain weight at least a lil bit chubby but still the same. My body is just like this ever since. It's fine though because I am not worried to get fat If i eat a lot but I wanted to gain weight and I can't. Maybe it is in our genes, so even we eat a lot our body still the same. I am 4 months pregnant and I am not gaining weight still I ask my OB about it and she told me because of my metabolism and my body is designed to be like this.OMG!. I thought I will get fat when I get pregnant and I am wrong. Which is good for my boyfriend because she don't want me to get fat.

Thanks that I'm not alone for this kind of situation, One factor why we not gain even when we eat a large quantity because of our heredity also or a sign of Type I Diabetes Mellitus. But the impact symptoms of it are excessive hunger and thirst. Did you ever had that manifestations? If you are asking me? sometimes I ever had experienced it. But hopefully it's not though! I'm just diagnosing myself.
Good thing about your boyfriend that He likes it and hopefully, you will deliver your baby via normal spontaneous. Best luck .:)
