Gain weight tips anyone?
I'm in my early 20s, no older than 25, and I'm like the size of someone in grade school. Even my cousin of 5 years younger is bigger than me, which to be fair, he's a guy. But still, with my latest the height of 134cm (4.4 ft) and 38kg (84 pounds), these senior highschoolers, my cousin's classmates (even the girls) are towering over me. And I still fit my pants and shirt from my 7th grade PE uniform, I was 13 😭

Hi @JobiLee! How are you doing since you posted this? I am a petite woman, just under 5 feet tall and I struggled with being slightly underweight in my teens and early 20s. I had a rather fast metabolism, and it didn't help that I carried a heavy backpack around school, or worked 10-hour shifts on my feet and couldn't eat a proper meal afterward cuz I was too tired. I can't confidently give you any suggestions, but I can tell you what I did to feel healthy: I ate whenever I could, and I ate nutrient-dense, high calorie foods like full-fat yogurt.
Also, I hope you can accept and love your petite body. I loved that I was able to keep clothes from my high school years all through my 20s and that I could sometimes find jeans in the kids' section. I know it gets tiresome when people think you're a kid. Now that I've matured some (I'm now 31), I like to find humor in people thinking I'm still a kid, especially since I'm married to a big, strong man. We got funny looks from high schoolers who were ditching class when we walked down a grocery aisle holding hands. I wish I said, "Shouldn't you kids be in school?"
I hope all is well with you. I believe you have what it takes to get healthy and confident in your own body.
