i use to be like that until i turned 32 and got married!. iam 33 now and i have went from 135lb standing at 5ft 6in tall to 161lb pounds and now the doctors says i have to loose 10 or 15 pounds because i now have high chelesteral of 243!. my point is your only 23 years old, in most cases when you hit 30 and after you start to gain that weight quickly and you have trouble getting it off when you need to!. now i have to cut down on greasy foods, lift weights and walk the track to prevent a heart attack or high blood pressure!. i hate being small too and i dont want to lose the weight i have so happily gainned, but my life depends on it now!. fast foods, junk foods, salads, fruits whatever i got my hands on is what i started eating because when i got married i was and i still iam very happy and when iam happy i eat and for the first time in my life i actually started gainning weight!. i would not tell you to go and eat all that stuff it is bad, but you are going to constantly burn what you eat until you get older and everything starts to slow down then that is when the weight starts to come on and you will keep it, oh believe me you keep it!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have the same problem!. i'm 2 years older than you and about your height with a small frame as well!. if i simply go for a 30 minute walk in the hot sun within a few days i go down a dress size!.

i was at 105 and i was told to drink ensure because they promote healthy weight gain!. i tried it!. i would drink one with dinner or lunch!. one ensure equals one meal so if you drink it with dinner or lunch it's like eating two meals!.

if i was busy and didn't have time to eat i would grab a apple or peach and drink an ensure with it!.

it took about a month and i had gained 8 pounds!. i stopped drinking the ensures and the weight started coming off!.

so i'm back on them now!. some of us are naturally thin and that's do to a high metabolism!. i was told it slows down with age!. ensures cost about 6 - 7 dollars a case and they come in six packs!. you should drink one a day!. you can purchase them at wal-mart, walgreens, or nearly any grocery or drug store!. i hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I wish I knew!. I eat nothing but whole real foods in unlimited quantities!. Yesterday, the junkiest thing I ate was some soyt ice cream!. Yesterday, the scale went back up to 157, today, it was down to 155!.5!. I'm six feet tall!. I don't even work out, except for playing with my eight month old daughter!. (She's about 15 pounds and I do carry her, lift her, lay her down constantly during the day, though!.) All I want to do is to fit into my 12s!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
