I Am 16 Years Old And Have A One Year Old Son. Before I Became Pregnant With Him I Weighed 115 Pounds. During The Pregnancy I Weighed 140 Pounds And I Now Weigh 104 Pounds. I Hate How Skinny I Look, I Hate The Way My Clothes Fit Me And I Have Never Had A Problem With The Way I Look But It Now Seems As If I Have A Low Self Esteem Due To The Way My Body Looks. I Did Speak To My Doctor And She Says I Don't Have An Eating Disorder. I Eat Regularly Like A Healthy Person Would But I Don't Seem To Gain Anything. It Is Very Notacable And Everyone Comments Me About It. I Would Really Appreciate It If Someone Gave Me Any Suggestions On How To Gain Weight.

It sounds like you have a very high metabolism. If you feel that you eat a lot and can't gain, perhaps you should have your thyroid checked. Otherwise, you should just eat more than you normally do, but at least 1000 extra calories a day. Try going to a health food store and ask them about weight gain shakes.
