In reply to Gotta gain some weight -- how?, posted by Racer on September 30, 2004, at 12:36:33
hey racer! i've never seen this post before, but i definitely relate to your problem. did you ever find a way to put on weight? i'm really underweight right now and having the kind of medical complications you see with anorexia. i've always been small, so i need only 10 of 15 pounds to get back to my baseline weight, but each pound is a struggle. until about a week ago, i was eating as much as possible and much more than previously, and i was still losing weight. once i reached the lowest point, i was able to gain several pounds in a few days. since then, though, i've been gaining a small amount and then losing more. i think my body is adjusting to and needing larger amounts of intake faster than i can increase my intake. during the two or so months that i was sick and losing weight, i think a lot of body processes shut down to keep me alive and keep the most vital processes going. now i think i need to repay the debt to those organs and systems, so food and fluids are disappearing mysteriously. in the hospital, around the clock fluids, minerals, and nutrition couldn't keep up with the losses. please, if you found a solution, please let me know!!!! thanks! cb
p.s.-- i'm envious! thin, but with good size breasts? i have the thin part down, but i've always been flat as anything. i have the figure of a little boy, and i would give almost anything for [natural] breast growth.
