I am so sad, because i am so thin
I am about 5'6and and half, and about 100 pounds...sometimes 99.
I am so depressed about my body
My bones stick out everywhere, and everyone thinks I am annorexic. sometimes I just cry about it. I can't even fit inot a size 0, i am too thin, and it hangs off me. I look so amashiated. But the thing is, I get my period, eat normally, and very healthfully. I mean, I have a nice glow and rosy cheeks. I just don't want to be so thin, but I just CANNOT gain weight! i POWERLOAD food most days...
I wrote it down last week, and i ate 5000 calories each day, and NOTHING! What should i do? i am so ashamed by my body...

Focus on the fact that you are healthy. I definitely would NOT recommend that you eat junk food to try and gain weight. I assume you have worked with a doctor on this issue so you know there's no medical reason.
I myself am overweight-I have tried everything except surgery, which I don't believe in. My doctor says I am healthier than many of her ideal weight patients, so I focus on that and continue a healthy lifestyle.
It helps that a friend recently lost 70 pounds due to serious illness and tells me fat and healthy was better!
Please don't listen to Lillian-she obviously has an eating disorder-5'5" 116/117lbs is fine.

My fiance is the same. Last year she ate waffles for breakfast and dinner for about 4 months. Actually she ate whipped cream and strawberries and added a waffle. She gained 10 pounds, but as soon as she got tired of them, she lost it. She wants to gain weight bad too, but she can't. She is 21. It will come eventually. Don't stress. Wait until you are older. Then you will be dying to lose weight! Until then, stay away from the mirror and find someone who appreciates you for who you are!

If you're healthy and eating right, then it's just the way your body works that makes you like this. perhaps your metabolism is really, really high, so you burn off calories faster. You should just accept yourself for who you are...there are many girls out there who would die to be as skinny as you. Try to wear clothes that doesn't make you look too skinny. Also, perhaps in this situation you should eat some more junk food. ;) If you think there's something wrong, see your doctor about it.
