i was called a skinny anorexic

u all know by no, i am 34 have 4 kids, 5"4 and weigh 98, im like -17 bmi... at 14 i had an awesome body, i had curves filled out my clothing, could wear a bathing suit.. i dont know what happened, guess i just let my life take over and started to never have the time to eat , could go for days without being hungry, dont really know why.. but it just happened, i get skinny remarks and comments from people i know and dont know.. i go places with my mom and sis, and other woman, and they all have bodies, with curves , boobs and fill there clothing out, guess what happens? they all get whistles, guys trying to give them there number, but me im the odd one out always standing there looking like a kid or some thing. yes i have been in relationship for 18 yrs, but to go through ur life being the 1 to stand there and watch every 1 else get that attention, starts to add up, and makes u feel pretty bad.. the last straw for me was when me n my sis had fight , and she called me anorexic, in front of every 1, and i have never intentionally tried to look this way, like i said i dont know why i can go for days with out getting hungry. but i do know, i want to gain i want my body back i had b4. it seems like this should be easy but the more i eat the more i still dont gain. ive had my thyroid checked its fine, so now what? i do the ensures the protein bars, ive cut out the bad fats, i do nuts peanut butter, should i turn to a weight gainer drink? any 1 else having my problem?

Yes I have the same problem but not exactly. I cannot go days without eating. I am hungry every two hours. I wish I could eat every two hours but with two jobs I can't do that so I eat as much as I can in one meal. I have had blood tests and thyroid tests and everything is normal. I am 28 5'1 and cannot get over 90 lbs and do NOT have an ED. I am barely there. I fluctuate between 87 and 89 lbs right now.

I know how you feel about other woman with curves getting attention. I always feel like a child with my friends. I have no idea why girls want to be so super thin when men clearly like woman a little overweight or with boobs and a butt.

I would just try and eat as much as possible but only healthy foods. I am a health nut and try to eat mostly organic foods because I don't just want to gain weight but I want to be extremely healthy too. I was drinking the Ensure for maintaining or gaining weight and they did help. I would drink them between jobs or whenever I didn't have a lot of time to eat much. I kinds slacked off on them for a couple weeks though but not on purpose. They get expensive when you are drinking 2 or more a day.

Hang in there and don't give up just keep eating. Don't let yourself go too long without eating and always have snacks with you.

i completely understand, i have the ensures as well but they do get very expensive. i wonder how my mom and sis have boobs, butts, and nice bodies but i am stuck with this.. sorry u understand how i feel, but am glad some one else does as well. i need to weigh myself its been a week or longer and i feel that i have gained nothing. i have such hard time gaining.  thank you for your encouragement and the same for you maybe we both will achieve our wants, good luck!

i don't know if this will help but for some reason mangos have helped me to start gaining. I eat a large one or two medium size every night with almond and peanut butter plus a pear with flax seed..it's working.. gained 3 lbs!!

that ia awesome!! way to go on the gain.. i will try that thank you.
