Those canned drinks are awful. As i mentioned above the Nurishment drinks seemed to be the answer but they made me feel awful.

There is definatley nothing positive about being underweight. I feel so frail sometimes, like a 60 year old woman! I dont know if anyone else has a problem with the cold too? I cant stand it! In winter its okay as wearing a padded jacket is normal. But i dread summer. Especially the British summer time. While everone else wears gorgeous summer clothes i cannot for two core reasons:

1. Despite it being a warm sunny day, the slightest breeze and i am freezing! its probably the fact that i have no excess fat to keep me warm.
2. While everyone wears all those gorgeous summery clothes, i have to wear a cardigan over EVERYTHING just so that im not cold. Bare arms? No way! I would freeze. Also, it doesnt help when people are always gawking at how skinny your arms are.

Asa female in her late 20’s i know i am missing out on things by having these hang ups… nothing that a little bit of weight gain wouldnt help with but its just not happening

It is very difficult. At one point i got so desperate that i was drinking 2-3 Nurishment drinks a day between meals as a top up… what a stomach ache i had!

I am about 5"3 too but just cant get past the 41 kg mark at the moment, no matter what i do. I used to eat anything and everything but found that junk food made me more tired and i had no energy for anything which got me really down.

Are there partuclar foods you found helped?

Does anyone else know of any good weight gain tips?

Hello all, total newbie here.

I too get a lot of redness and acne on my cheeks which, at its worst can make my whole cheek area look red and totally swollen. I found that keeping the area clear of make up helps, but the one time i would apply a teeny bit of blusher- bam- there you go its back. If i went from a nice warm house, or vice versa, this too would make things worse, i just couldnt figure it out!

i now just apply a light moisturizer to my face in the morning after washing it with a gentle facewash and thats pretty much it for me. Keeping the skin hydrated i.e. drinking lots of water, and having a facial once a month may help too, just to keep the skin well looked after.

It doesnt quite solve the problem, but just makes the area a little more looked after and therfore less red most of the time. ” title=”Confused” />
