Lucky !!: If you eat 3 meals a day and don't gain weight consider yourself lucky have you considered that your weight may be normal for you age and degree of activity. Disturbances of the body image is the root of many eating disorders?! a very long shot may be the presence of intestinal parasite in certain situations.
