To Gain Weight: I understand your distress. At this time, Accept yourself who you are. Respect yourself for your achievements. Think that you WILL gain weight, NOT “I am too skinny”, NOT “I cant seem to gain weight” See a Physician for Diagnosis, Discuss Balanced Diet with 2000-2500 Cal/day. Believe in yourself, NOT pills. Be happy with gain of 1-2 lbs/week. See a Psychiatrist for Therapy for stress, Relaxation ,
