7 friggen pounds!

[mooglebunni608]

Okay. So, over the course of the last 6 weeks, I gained 7 pounds! O_O

How did this happen?

Well, I'd been having stomach problems for a few years, and finnaly I got taken to the scary doctors. I got tested for Syliac (something about not being allowed to have gluten) and lactose intolerance. I also got put on GERD* medication, which has seemed to work.
Except I gained 7 pounds before I knew what hit me.
Before I took these pills, I was consistenly 105-110 pounds for about a year, and I was pretty sure I'd be thinner were it not for my constant bloating. I was also sure the I was at the average weight for a 15 year old girl.
Now, out of the blue, mom is telling me that I'm supposed to be heavier. And she tells me I have to have better eating habits.
But these med make me want to eat 24/7 O_O

So, um, discuss....
your diet?
what you'd eat if you could (like if it wouldn't clog your arteries, etc.)
and other stuff along those lines....

I ate almost a whole pie today! ^_^

I can eat everything i want and not gain fat weight...i just go to the gym to work out a bit or to the pool and swim a bit.

Hmm, what is the average weight for a 15 year old, anyways?

When I was little, my mom and dad didn't let me eat a lot of junk food, so I learned to grow up without them. xD BUT, they did let me grow up eating a LOT of rice. So, at one point, I started to only eat one cup of rice a day, and I actually look a lot thinner (especially in the arms xP) because of that. But I still :heart: rice.

[Strider]

I eat terribly, but I haven't gained any weight in about three or four years. I win! :D

[Kuroshima]

I eat pretty much anything I can cook. If I cant cook it I won't eat it! and to stop form getting fat I use Boflex!

[Khaotic]

You grew..? Puberty? Breasts? Who knows.. you're 15, lots of things can effect 7 pounds.

[rubah]

Dont' eat whole pies. Chew gum and drink water!

[edit-- if you need to, tape your mouth shut.]

[Zeromus_X]

Moderate exercise and a decent diet is just fine for me.

Of course, my abounding love of water doesn't need to be said. <3 Ditch the soda.

Still, it's only 7 pounds. Unless your actual physical appearance is in jeopardy, I wouldn't worry too much.

I'd eat pizza more often, except if more often then not gives me heartburn and it isn't exactly the healthiest/breath friendliest food in the culinary world.

[Psychotic]

I eat anything and everything that doesn't taste terrible. Heart Attack City, here I come. I want to put on weight anyway so it's all good.

[Christmas]

I DO EAT WHAT I WANT, YOU GOT PROBLEM?

[Jojee]

That's nothing ^_~ After I went home for Spring Break last year (this year?) I came back and weighed myself like a week after and I was like 104 lbs o_O But before I went home I was 95 lbsish....

Then I lost it again pretty quick and now I'm ~94, which I've been around consistently for around 3 years ;o

[Faris]

I don't know what I've been doing right, but I've lost weight. I cut out any sort of sweets and chips, and got hooked on noodles.

[-TIDUS-]

Over the last year or so I've been trying to gain weight because my football coach has been pestering me to. So I basically eat a crapload of carbs, protein, protein powders, etc. I have like 4 meals a day. I works too in from last september i went from 130-150. As for your mother wanting you to gain weight I'm sure alot of mothers do that because I have three sisters and my mother is constantly telling them to eat more, even though they eat enough already.

i'm a big person...very tall and medium build...i weigh about 240 most of the time....as you can imagine, 5 pounds comes and goes with no one noticing. i eat everything that can't get away from me

i used to have a strict healthy diet to build muscle and trim a bit of fat away, along with a strict exercise regime which i halfheartedly hold to still, but i eat fast food and/or junk food almost daily, not to mention drinking pop.

but i'm a guy, and 24...my metabolism is slowing down and my flat stomach is aching to turn into a pot.

:nonono: :cat: Don't be so reckless! Unless you actually don't really care about it all that much, but for me, that would be one of the things that would be important to watch out for.

[Araciel]

oh i'm in good shape...i indulge once in a while...better than most people i know...i'm the health nut because i only drink one can of coke every couple of days or have some chips

[abrojtm]

I pretty much have nada on the metabolism. I can look at food and gain a pound.
This is why I try to run often. It usually fails miserably.

[Levian]

I've been skinny all my life, but I'm starting to gain a little weight now, but nothing major. I pretty much eat what I want, but if I know something is healthy and I happen to like it, I tend to eat it ever so often. Like SALMON. :shifty: Mmm, Salmon. :shifty:

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Oi. I am doing just the opposite. I weigh 10 lbs less now than I did this time last year. Thanks to a fairly good amount of excersice this summer. That will be very good for me come wrestling season in school. I will probably be able to be at the 112 lbs weight class again, for the third year in a row. Awesomesauce! :cool:

[Miriel]

Oh god, I hate you people.

I gain weight like crazy. And even though a lot of it is my fault (snacking down and not exercising enough), I have extremely slow metabolism. I get it from my Dad. I even had a doctor check me out. She gave me some pills that were supposed to help with that, but they tasted like crap and I stopped taking them awhile ago.

It sucks cause my brother can eat a whole cow and not gain weight. *jealous hatred*
