Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)

I *was* a skinny minny... a bad spell of IBS attacks triggered my anorexia and I stopped eating. I never had trouble gaining - I had trouble eating. Once they put me on meds for my anxiety problems, I stopped being afraid of food and the weight came back on VERY quickly.

I've really had a hard time with it - I liked being underweight, even though I know I was sick then. As long as I'm on these meds, I'm never going to be skinny like that again. Sigh.

Anyway - what put the pounds back on me is ignoring portion sizes and pigging out, especially on cereal. Rice Krispies, Cocoa Crispies, and Corn Pops, especially. They don't fill me up, and I can seriously demolish a box of cereal in 2 days' time - or less. For that reason, I CANNOT have cereal in the house anymore.

The only way to gain weight is to take in more calories than you're burning. It sounds like you have a pretty fast metabolism (you lucky duck!). You need to eat more. Don't be afraid to snack more, eat higher-calorie foods, and bigger portion sizes than you are eating now.

If you've already tried that... then darnit, I guess you're stuck being small. I hate you. (JUST KIDDING!! But god, I wish I had that problem! I've struggled with my weight since I was 10!)
