Alright, I am 21 years old, I have 2 kids, an I'm soo thin! I hate it. I eat, I don't puke, so that rules out anorexia and bulimia for any of you that were wondering. I hate this so much, an It doesnt matter how much I eat, take the weight gainers, anything, I won't gain it. I had my blood tested about 2 years ago for my thyroid, an they said that I was fine. I guess thats why I havent gone back. Im afraid that they will say that again. People can be so rude. People come up to me, and say so many rude things. They think that I want to be like this. Anyone relate? Or have any answers for me. I have been dealing with it for about 3 years.

I do not work out, and I have tried the ensures, an the boost drinks as well. I have also went to the GNC vitamin outlet.

Apparently, you weight hasn't interfered with you getting pregnant (that's good). If you're eating healthy foods (organic when you can), I wouldn't worry about your weight.
How tall are you? Are your female relatives your weight & size? Check you your females in your family, this will let you know what normal is for you. :)

I know how you feel. I'm 29 and for as long as I can remember I've weighed 98lbs. Have no children, but have been having some reproductive health issues for the last year. Since then I lost a lot of weight, down to 90lbs. Seen a fertility doctor yesterday who told me I shouldn't and couldn't have children because I'm too small and I don't have enough protein. Said everything but outright asking if I made myself puke.
Sorry to say that it's something I have put up with my entire life and it doesn't get better. Like you I've been tested for thyroid, anemia etc. Nothing is wrong with me, I just eat a lot and burn off more than I eat. Other than making shopping a pain in the butt there's nothing wrong. Doesn't feel that way when other people talk about it though.
Be strong, keep going to the doctor just to make sure there's not an explanation for it and know that you're fine the way you are. There are tons of us out there and we all hate it... sometimes. ;-)

Maybe you are just naturally thin and you are supposed to be like that. I have an issue similar to you. I'm 93 pounds, 14, but can't gain any weight, no matter how much I eat!! It's frustrating I know.

Maybe you just have a super high metabolism. There are dietary supplements available in grocery stores such as Ensure that can help you gain weight. In order to gain weight, you must consume more calories than you use. Do you work out a lot?

You could just be natrually thin. I'm 13 and only 90 pounds. I eat like a normal person, but I just don't gain a lot of weight. You may also just have a high matabolism.

If you've had 2 kids, can eat whatever you want, and don't gain any weight... then don't complain.
The rest of us will struggle with trying not to become overweight our whole lives.
Just make sure you are eating healthy foods, that you exercise (even if you are skinny your heart, mind, and muscles still benefit from it), and watch your cholesterol, blood pressure, and sodium intake.
But don't forget to splurge on yourself once and a while!
