@Sanaabc

im 5’3 and i weigh 84 pounds … people keep telling me to not rush into gaining weight coz well being a woman u end up putting on weight eventually.. anyway my friend advised me to take whey protein, eat chicken and stuff and work out that way u gain weight on the right places.

@Fatima90

I am exactly like you. I weigh 93 pounds and my height is 5’6. I am too skinny, you can say a pile of bones (as people say). But I guess I can’t do anything about it because it’s in my genes. People say being fat is a big curse, I say being too skinny is a big curse.

I am also too thin… 5 feet 1 1/2 inch and usually weigh around 83 pounds. And yes… i think it is a curse too because even though society will think its taboo to tell a fat person that they are “fat” … people seem to have NO PROBLEM telling a thin person that they are a “bag of bones” … i have had random people come upto …complete strangers and tell me that I should go see a doctor in regards to my weight! How rude!!! Telling them that my doctor is a doctor and thinks i am fine shuts them up.

My future in laws constantly make a point to make my weight an issue… which is also annoying.

But everyone is right…we have the rest of our lives to gain weight… even though it is frustrating when hearing the comments and even more frustrating when you try to go shopping. Here in the US… it is like impossible to find things to fit me since htis country caters to bigger people. An x-small here is like equivalent to a medium in europe. it is so annoying.

But good news is that at times i am able to gain weight… (if i get sick or it is ramazan..i am also able to loose it quickly and go back in the low 80 pound range). I do everything that others have suggested… good diet, muscle building excercise

But i also make sure to drink a shake I make for myself once during the day: 1 packet of instant carnation breakfast (i like vanilla flavor), whole milk, a few scoops of icecream, fresh fruit. Blend - tastes good + loads of calories.

I also make sure to eat dessert after dinner!
