Other people with aspergers aren't thin. I have polycystic ovaries and look like i'm pregnant all the time. I also love food too much and not eating it would make my life not worth living. I live to eat.

To the people talking about BMI: Also I agree with how BMI is stupid. It doens't ake muscle into account, and you can't tell me a muscular woman of 5 foot 10 is "overweight" where as a chubby 5 foot 6 woman is on the upper end of "healthy".

I seem to have the opposite problem of most people.

Last time I checked my weight and it was only 88. I was so ticked. Can't I gain weight? I eat alot. I'm sick and tired of being called anorexic and bulemic in school, and just tired of being underweight.
I hate forcefeeding myself just to gain an ounce. I also force myself to eat in school when I don't feel hungry so people don't look at me weird.

Yesterday I ate oatmeal, eggs&toast, a 12 inch hoagie, a sandwich, crackers, salad, banana, chips, nectarines, icecream, and chinese food!

Anyone who is under or overweight, eat a balanced diet and exercise. It's good for everyone.

I understand how you feel. I gained a lot of weight when I hit puberty at age 10 and have never got to be a "beautiful girl." :(

I was 140 when I was 16. Now I'm 244(ish) at age 21. I live with my grandmother so dieting is really hard since all she wants to eat are the most unhealthy of things. I have been resisting so far but I can't wait to get back to college where I can make sure that I eat right because no one else will be pressuring me to eat anything. I'll be the one in control. I'm working out a lot, and I hope I can keep that up when I'm at school. At least I'll be walking everywhere. Just keep at it and know that you aren't alone in this. *nod nod*

yknow, erisad, i've been noticing your attitude is more positive lately. you really love being at school don't you? it must feel so freeing to be away from the family home.

I do. It's the only time I get to see any of my friends and actually make decisions for myself without having mother over my shoulder. That's why I'm scared of graduating. Until I get my license and find an apartment or move in with someone else, I'll be stuck with my family. D:
