I'm 21 and weigh 170 lbs and I'm trying to put 30 lbs back on since I went overboard on my weight loss to the point where I look scrawny and bony. I've been on a weight loss eating plan for over 2 years and never planned ahead on how to stop the weight loss and just maintain and now it's haunting me. My parents are getting very upset with me because I'm afraid to eat a whole lot but I can't help it if they buy mostly junkfood groceries. Well, my dad got so frustrated with me yesterday at my weight loss that he nearly had to go to the hospital from his high blood pressure shooting through the roof. So I decided to suck it up and just do what he said and now I'm afraid that's having a bad effect on me. Yesterday I just gorged on peanut butter, 9 slices of bread, 1 pork chop, some white rice, some green beans and corn all in the evening time. I was not able to sleep all night after this for some odd reason. I'm really starting to get scared that what my dad wants me to do is unsafe

I don't know what I'm going to do but I'm not feeling so well due to this and I am afraid I'm soon going to end up hospitalized because I continue to lose weight even when I'm not trying to. I don't have health insurance so if I do have to go to the hospital because of this unsafe diet that I pretty much have no choice to do just to make my dad not have a heart attack out of frustration with me, I'm going to be ruined financially for the rest of my life.

I cannot just simply see a dietician. I don't have a lot of money or health insurance so seeing a doctor or dietician would ruin me financially. I'm really in a hole I can't get out of. I've been backed into a corner and I don't know how to get out. There is no way out for me.

You didn't lose the weight overnight. Don't try to put it back on overnight. Maybe try an extra meal or and extra helping. It can be healthy and doesn't need to be loaded with fat or carbs.

I have just recently started gaining weight because I've been super skinny my entire life. I went from (believe it or not) 88lbs to 111lbs drinking carnation instant breakfast with 16oz of milk 3-4 times a day with a well balanced lunch and dinner. My goal is to reach 120-125 by May which I think I will be able to do. The point is to gain about 1-2 lbs a week. That is the healthy way to put on weight. Eating all that food in one day will do nothing put give you a tummy ache:( You can't put on 30lbs in one day or one month so don't try it!!!! Also, when your gaining weight make sure you exercise at least 30 min every other day. Work the areas that you seem to gain the most fat in so your weight will be put on evenly. Hope this helps.

You need to stop eating like you did yesterday and your parents need to stop pressuring you to eat crappy food. What you NEED to do is see a doctor and discuss in great detail what is happening and why. There are much healthier ways to gain weight. I recently lost a lot of weight because my blood sugar was out of control. Once I was put on insulin and my levels were back to normal, I immediately gained almost 15 pounds, and all I eat is GOOD food. I am not suggesting you use insulin, but I am saying that good foods can also help you put on weight. You really should have some blood work to make sure there is nothing else going on and possibly talk to a dietitian about how to eat well in a way that will put you back at a good weight. Please talk to your parents about this ASAP. It sounds like they want to see you looking healthy again, but maybe don't know that there are healthier ways to do it than eating junk food. Best wishes.

It sounds like you may have developed an eating disorder after your focus on weight loss.
Since your parents are interested in your weight, ask them to buy healthy (but not low fat!) food that you feel comfortable eating. Then try eating 5 times a day, rather than 3. Although fruits and veggies are healthy, ti sounds like you simply need to increase your daily intake of calories. So -- eat more.
If you are hospitalized for your weight loss, you will not enjoy it! Take control of your life... do some research online (not here! On a legitimate site) and find out how to develop and maintain a healthy eating style.
Good luck!
