I need some serious support!

I suggest you listen to your doctor. Why do you think VERY skinny is beautiful? Your health is very important. Without it, you have nothing ... skinny or not.

The healthy thing to do would be to gain those pounds. 130 lbs for a 5'6'' is good and sexy too. And like someone above me said, if that's your picture then you do look way too skinny, and not in a nice way. Perhaps gaining a bit of weight will not only sort out your health issues but make you look even better?

I have been doing so well eating right and losing weight and I have ALWAYS wanted to be VERY skinny. I think its beautiful. Well, finally I'm pretty thin but of course I'm not 100% happy with my body...I'm very muscular so my thighs arent tiny like I want them to be. Anyway, I have been having "womanly" problems so I got a lot of blood testing to find out that my hormones are totally wacked out and my ovaries arent working right because Im too thin for my body type. I weigh on average 120lbs which is healthy for being 5'6" but its obviously not right for my body type. Anyway my doctor wants me to gain at least 10 lbs and I'm SOOOO upset about it. Thats a big deal to me! I have worked so hard to lose it! I dont like my body as much when I gain any weight. What do you guys suggest is a healthy thing to do??

A sexy woman has muscles!
Not musclebound!

Eat 20% above maintenance. Up protein to 120g up Essential fats to appx 60g fill the rest with carbs.
Lift heavy 3 times a week and on off days do 20mins of HIIT to keep fat at a minimum.
You may want to dip into LeanGains www.leangains.com.
Hugs and good luck!

PS: It took me appx a month to figure out my maintenance calories due to a high NEAT.
So If you eat 20% above maint for 2 weeks and dont see a gain then push to 25%...rinse and repeat.

Go to a Doctor and or therapist. RUN don't walk!
You need guidance beyond what can be offered here and you need it now!
You have an unhealthy self image that is pushing you down a dangerous path. Please, please, please see a professional so that you can get help before this gets totally out of control.

Agreed!!

If you are struggling with the thought of 10 lbs more, why not at least start with 5? Maybe things will regulate with 5 and you can compromise.

Listen to your doctor. If your body isnt regulating right its because you are too skinny. And that happens with those too skinny models. You can see your rib cage in your profile pic and that in my opinion is too skinny. After seeing your doc, see a counselor to help you gain the weight that you need too so you can be healthy and regular.

Agreed!!!

Your body is shutting down non-essential functions in order to keep you alive. If your only concern is being too skinny, then keep doing what you're doing, but realize eventually it may cause permanent health problems and even possibly death.

If you want to be healthy, gain some weight back.

um...you know how you said your ovaries aren't working....that is part of your body shutting down to keep you alive.

as we say where i come from go eat a pie!

thanks guys and girls! How do I gain "healthy" weight? I know I will still be skinny with just 10 pounds but how should I go about doing it? and yeah, everyone thinks i look terrible this thin. My husband loves me either way but he said he would LOVE if I gained a bit. Its just all hard for me to accept.

Work on building muscle instead of fat. That will give your body a fuller look without the curviness I'm guessing you don’t want. I would lower my cardio workouts and increase my strength training workouts. Look into protein shakes, adding peanut butter to meals, and snacking on mixed nuts. These are all PERFECT ways to help you gain weight a healthy way. I don't know your eating habits but whatever calorie intake you are at now, try to bump it at least 300 calories. It may sound REALLY hard, but seriously one protein shake after a workout can help you reach it.

I agree with a majority of the posters here when they say it might be a good idea to see a body coach to help you with body images. Personally, whenever something starts to negatively affect your health (in your case, your reproductive organs), you may want to get a new routine. I wish you the best of luck and feel free to add me as a friend!

Honestly, from your photo alone, I don't think you look terrible. But like I said, a sure sign that you ARE unhealthy is when your organs begin shutting down and your period stops (for no other reason).

Anyway, as people said: weights to build muscle and healthy but high calorie foods. Potatoes, avocados, even some cheese or full fat milk. No fat free or sugar free alternatives to the real thing. Whole grains. Nuts. Peanut butter. Healthy oils.

ENJOY getting a little bigger! I wish I had that problem! lol
