Thin.
This isn't another blog about anorexia, or bulimia. It's about being thin.
I am very skinny and under weight for my height. I'm skinny, and I don't like it.
I'm 167cm's tall and I weigh 45 and a half kgs. I'm not sure what that is in pounds, but it's between 80 and 90 pounds, I think.
Girls at school don't eat and say they're "fat" and I sit, listen and think I wish I looked like you.. They're all average weight. I try my hardest to gain weight, but it just seems too make me grow upwards. I'm tired of stuffing my face, I want to be normal!
I get comments like 'Oh, she's anorexic, she never eats' and it's horrible. My ribs show like a xylaphone and my hips stick out through my shirts. I don't wear skirts or shorts because of my thin gangly legs. I don't wear bikini's. In PE when I have to wear shorts and t-shirt, I nearly cry. I get so concious about how I look. My friend Brittany is the only person who understands why I cry in PE.
Why do people strive to be this way, when you are this way you can't stand it? And that when you are this skinny, you're not socially acceptable.
I DO NOT want to be 'skinny' anymore. I don't want to cry in PE. I don't want to feel bad for being thin. I don't know how else to explain it.
Can people just be happy with being normal?
I'm not doing this to "rub it in", I'm doing to so people understand that being thin is not all it's made out too be.
I get picked on more than obese people. It doesn't make sense.
I am trying my best to gain weight. Waiting for my ribcage and hip bones to no longer be visable through clothing.
I, too, want to go to the beach and be proud of my bikini body.
Please don't take this blog the wrong way.
Thanks.

People say im the skinniest person they've ever seen, But I do have meat on me.
Peoples perspectives on weight are different.
But, I think you'll get some weight soon.
Your metabolism will soon kick into gear.
I used to be super super skinny at your age.
You'll get some weight soon, Im sure. <3

45kg=99lbs
Gem you are medically underweight for your height, which is no surprise to you. Your BMI (Body Mass Index) which measures your body fat equals 16.1% where a healthy range is 18.5-24.9%.
I try my hardest to gain weight, but it just seems too make me grow upwards.
This perhaps sums up the reason you are not gaining weight. You are very tall for your age and your body is burning all it's energy intake from food into this process. You could try to increase your caloric intake, that is eat more food to compensate, but make sure it is quality food. Unfortunately, until you are finished the growth process, you may be 'cursed' with the superslim look for a while. If you are very concerned you should consult your doctor to rule out any medical cause.

I think you have to eat lots of food, it was some certain ones that put on extra calories.

Maybe you could go to someone who can give you tips on how to gain weight easily. =]
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's girls who say they're fat when they really aren't.
Good luck.
