my husband can't gain weight
| Wed, 02-15-2006 - 2:01pm |
Help!!! my husband can't gain weight, he is 25yrs old, 6'1 and only 145 lbs. he has been like this all his life but i want answers. i measured both of us with a tape measurer, im only 105 lbs and we have he same thigh width!!! and my hips are 1 cm. wider!! his jeans can fit me!! i mean, he is TINY.... he has tried to gain weight so many times, he eats and he eats and he eats and he can't gain at all. ive woken up in the middle of the nights seeing him scarf down bags of chocolate (lol) and he loves cheesecake, he eats anything he wants. are there any diseases that could be relating to this? i know they say if you want to gain weight to eat 500 more calories in your diet, but it won't work at all. He looks sick, but he isnt weak or anything, he is normal, sometimes i wonder where he packs all his organs lool. does anybody have any answers????

Hi,
some people have higher metabolisms than others and can eat what ever they want without gaining weight. This definitely sounds like a physical problem and my suggestion is to go see a doctor. This is actually an eating disorders board and eating disorders are driven by emotional problems. I am not sure that you will find the answers here that you are looking for.
Love & hugs, Kristina

Hello and welcome!
I wonder if you came here, wondering if your husband has an eating disorder?
If you think he looks sick, he really needs to see a doctor, in my opinion.
