I am a 17 year old girl bout 5"3, i always used to eat like a pig and never gain any weight i hated it.Now to make it worse i have completely lost my apetite. I find it very difficult to get clothes to fit me. I have been on the pill for the last year and i still haven't gained any weight. I have been to the doctors and had protein shakes and iron and vitamin supplements. Is there anything else that i could do? Any particular tablet that i could ask for?

You should try to make yourself a table or chart. Make sure you eat 2000 calories a day. Have many smaller meals like 4-6 of them. Just reach the 2000 cal with healthy food and you will gain weight. Like toast with butter in the morn is like 200 cal. Just make a chart to know what you need to get to. good luck

I saw a story in a magazing not long ago about a girl with the same problem, she's only just a size six and gets accused of being anorexic, but her doctor's said she'll just always be this way. However you have said that you don't have an appetite. Maybe you need to force yourself to eat more and allow your stomach to stretch out a little, or perhaps you have unresolved issues with food that might be hard to think of, but might be explaining your lack of appetite? I'm not being rude but I knew a girl who was in denial about being bulimic for 2 years, and needed a LOT of tough love to realise what she was doing to herself. If I were you I'd stick to the supplements, and eat lots of good fats like nuts and also spinach helps. I'm not aware of any tablets (except for "voluptuo" which is meant to help make breasts fuller, and bodybuilder ones) It's not a problem a lot of people have, which of course doesn't make it any less distressing, but this stress may also not be helping, when I or my sisters get stressed we all lose about a stone in a couple of weeks. Perhaps you could try toning and muscle building exercises so you look fuller (altho not scarily muscly obv!) All I would say is keep at it, and enjoy the shape you've been given. Girls are literally dying to have a figure like yours! I'm 19 5"3, and I would love to be able to eat what I want! Try not to let it get to you, easier said than done, I know. xXx

I agree with dave k just look at what you eat, count the calories and make sure you eat more than 2000 calories in a day (depends on how much activities you do though so you should also calculate how much you burn) and just match it.
www.calorie-count.com can help you I guess, I use it because I've been losing weight like hell when I started doing more sports and it calculates for you the amount of calories in the food you eat and the amount of calories burnt by your activities.

You didn't say how skinny you are...Some people are naturally skinny...Don't worry, you may fill out as you get older.
Wish I had your problem.
