Am I blessed by being skinny?

Question

I am 5'8 I go anywhere between 135 pounds to 150. Right now I am at 135. Now I know I am a little underweight for a guy.

Am I lucky to have such a high metobalism or should I gain some weight and pack on the muscles.

I am skinny because of laziness, just like some fat people are skinny because of laziness.

Answer 1

Yes you are so blessed! I'm 5'5 and am considered obese by today's standards! People say "you are not fat", but I think I am! Having a baby just made things worse for me! I got lazy, and stopped engaging in a lot of physical activity. I got sick of laying on my fat @$$ though, and converted my garage into a gym. I now lift weights, use a treadmill, exercise bike, and a Pilates machine to get back down to a nice size body I will feel comfortable in! I hear that men and women have a lot of differences when it comes to weight though....but I still think you are one lucky guy to be able to be lazy, and maintain a healthy weight! Congrats to you!!

Answer 2

Being skinny doesn't necessarily mean that you are healthy. You can still have high cholesterol or high blood pressure and be skinny. Maybe you could check these things with your doctor. Most doctors would say that you should exercise at least 30 minutes a day even if you are skinny. Hope this helps. :)

Answer 3

You would be blessed if you only could stop being so self-conscious. Being comfortable with your body is the real blessing. If you're fine with being skinny, then relax and don't pay attention to those who want to pressurize you into building fat and/or muscle. Not every girl likes body builders...

Try working out with weights and drink some weight gaining formulas.

Answer 5

I think that you are very fortunate that you are skinny. I had that problem but then i started gaining my weight and now i have to watch what I eat.
