    Hey Bailey,

    Go figure there hasn't been any response. I bet most of the other ladies that have read this are thinking that we are lucky when it comes to the other end of the spectrum. They are soo wrong,

    Just to give you other ladies an idea what it is like to not have curves:

    Bruising more easily.

    It sucks when you don't have much to sit on. 

    Cold a lot of the time because you don't have much for insulation. Along with the splotchies.

    Flaps, folds, twisting for dresses and intimate wear and wrinkles in your clothes because they don't fit right because they are made for curves that stick out all over.

    Your jewelry has to be made if you want something nice.

    Bra's dig in on your bones.

    If your metabolism does reverse a bit when you get older you have to re-learn what you can and can't eat because you can't eat like crazy anymore.

    You actually have to watch how much you do excercise if you loose weight too easily.

     

    I have to say that what helped me gain a little bit of weight and finally get some curves was a healthy relationship, age, eating more often and getting some better sleep.

    I am just shy of 32 years old now, 4 feet 10 inches and weigh about 105. Six years ago I weighed on average 90-95 pounds. I also danced on a regular basis for work, just like now.I have dreamed of getting to about 112 so then I could have a couple pounds of lee-way so I could donate blood since I was in highschool.  I still can't seem to get past my new plateau (ACK!!!).

    The only time I was close enough was when I was pregnant and  you can't donate blood when you are pregnant.

    So I feel your angst. Please be patient. Remember you have the metabolism of a young woman and that will change a little or a lot when you get older. I know it is hard to wait.

    Also check with your doctor  to see if you have problems digesting food that can help you put on weight.

    I really wish I could be more helpful, but the weight industry is set up for those that want to lose weight; not those that want to gain unless you are counting muscle mass.

    ciao for now,

    M. V.
