Weight?

[Love[Sick]]

I wasn't sure of where to put this, so I assumed this might be the right place.


I have been trying to gain weight, or at least try to keep it the same over the past 4 weeks. Ever since swimming started I have been loosing about a pound a week, and this isn't good for me. I've tried everything. Protein shakes, peanut butter before bed, eating constantly, stuffing my face, you name it. Now I'm eating olives [yum!], but I doubt it will help. I've noticed that I'm more tired too, just this weekend I passed up the chance to go out with some friends because I was too tired from diving practice.


Does anyone here have any advise on how I could pack on some pounds? Or atleast maintain a steady weight? I have a bet with a fellow diver to see who can gain three pounds the quickest.

Try not having a dump for a week.

I think I'll stick with the olives. . . .

Load up on your protein! Also try working out. Build muscle, not fat.


Oh yeah, and I'll donate to you some of my weight!

Eat lots of alfredo pastas.

I have started trying the loaded protein diet, hopefully that will help. I think the olives have left a permenant after-taste in my mouth. . . .bleh.

Mmm, pasta. Sounds good right now, I might have that for supper.

Eat like a frat boy. I hear pizza is very effective.

I've tried that, I've tried eating nothing but junk before too. I want to atleast gain back the weight I lost, but that seems impossible.


Does peanut-butter before bed really help?

[Junket]

Protein is good, but don't forget your carbohydrates, pastas, breads, grains all that.

I'm not aiming for having to go up a pants size, I just want to regain the lost pounds. I really just want to stop loosing the weight.

ten mars bars a day. hm. not very healthy. Junk food may be full of energy, but in the long run it really drains you out. I once knew the reasons for this, but I forgot..
so I say protein and all that shit that's part of a healthy diet. Maybe ease back on the swimming/diving a bit. Don't forget vitamins and iron.

Psssht. I wish I could lay off the swimming and diving, but that's not an option. I eat some type of grain bar before practice each day.

Well how about eating 3 more of those before that then?

Oh, and don't forget to eat something hearty after practice.

oh I forgot you're only 14! Don't worry, you will most likely fill out and get curves in a few years. As long as you take care of yourself and eat healthy, you'll be fine.
