Why do you want to gain weight?

Seriously though, what are the reasons behind why you want to gain.  This is supposed to be a somewhat "motivational post".  So a simple answer like "my parents/doctor are making me.

I want to gain because I want to be and feel healthy again.

I want to gain because I want to look healthy

I want to gain because I want musclular build again

I want to be able to eat out again without worrying and enjoy myself with friends and family...

I want to gain because I don't want to be cold in a room slightly below room temp...

So what motivates you to want to gain?

Similar thread, heh.

because i look disgusting, emaciated, unhappy, pale, my hair lacks luster, my skin is dry, i'm always cold, i used to have no energy, i like the taste of food, i like the idea of turning down a bowl of ice cream or ordering a salad because i like it and not getting whispers b/c people think it's from fear of gaining weight.

because i want to LIVE and have babies..i want to be happy and learn to accept myself!! :)

I want to live life in a healthy way and not be worried about something as small as a calorie.

I WANT TO BE WARM AND NOT FREEZE ALL DAY.

And most of all I want to stop worrying my family and my self.

I want to make sure I don't hurt my body so early in my life and create problems for myself in the future.

I want to feel confident in the way I look and not feel too skinny.

I want to get my period so I can make sure that in the future I have the ability to have children. :)

I just want to be as healthy as possible!

I want to be able to wear strappy tops and not have freaky bones sticking out at awkward angles.

It's funny because I swear every single reason is exactly why I would like to gain aswell. It's just scary because I remember being overweight and although I no longer want to be way skinny I also don't want to go back to the way I was before..

I want to gain because I was looking at pictures of me from Christmas aka MY BIRTHDAY, and realized how DISCUSTING I looked.

I want to gain so I don't feel like my entire family is watching everything I do involving food.

I want to gain so I am back to 115 pounds and have my BOOBS & BUTT BACK!

I want to gain so I can go for my 5 mile runs without my dad trying to shove three cakes into me.

I want to gain so I am not cold in a tee-shirt at school anymore.

 yes we can!

man I hate trying to motivate myself and others for that matter, I sound sooo lame...

osainto, haha yeah I know what you mean

I sound like a moron but lame encouragement is going to help many of us. So we have to continue to supplu others and ourselves with it, no matter how dorky we sound ;P

I agree ;)

I think we can all agree that it is tough to find someone around you who would understand your situation, which is why we sign up for these things. To find people who we can relate with...

elmerm , I totally agree

We're all here because we want support from eachother, while we provide support for others as well!
