not enough on weight gaining

[jaris]

i understand the nations problem with weight and how to lose it, but what about those that need help gaining it?

 

weight is a sensitive issue in that it makes one become self conscious just by a mention of the word. i believe alot more needs to be done on raising awareness for people suffering on both ends of the scale. i, for one have realized and accepted i will never look like the bloke on tv, nor who i want to (which is surprisingly like the bloke on tv), but where do i go from here?

 

 

tips on how to gain weight are most welcome.

Hi, Jaris

 

Welcome to the Forum! I don't have your problem (!) but it's interesting to see what's esstentially the same problem but from the opposite end of the scale! I found this, so have a look. Hope it helps.

This is another distressing thing about this issue... you tell anyone that you need to put on a few pounds and you find it hard and the response is generally a snide or sarcastic "I wish I had your problem". As a 6'2" bloke, weighing just over 9 stone since I was 16 it's been near impossible to put on any kind of bulk, and my self image has always suffered (including my confidence). It is a tough problem and people just don't see it :/ you have my sympathies jaris.
