Have Been Underweight. Regular Period. Bad Appetite. Diarrhea Often. How Do I Look Grown Up?
I am 25yr old woman 5 3 92lbs . I have been underweight all my life. I dont have any health problems. My fat percentage is 22.5% which I heard is appropriate what I am lacking is muscle. My periods are regular and shows up every 30-32 days. My appetite is very bad and if I tend to eat more, my stomach gets upset and I feel diarehea effect. I have the capability to eat more especially the dish i like but my stomach has become very sensitive recently and i am unable to handle more food. Please help. My wedding is approaching and i look like a 15 year old. My relatives and friends have been making fun of me. My inlaws and my fiance are upset with my underweight small frame

Hi,
Thanks for query,
More times eating does not put a weight but what you eat is important.
As you are having small frame & having good quantity of fat you should require is building muscle tissue.
This can be achieving by regular exercise with high protein rich diet particularly sprouts of cereals.
Thanks.
