Who skinny? ME!

Today We will talk about something which is so important to me.

 I'm a real skinny type of person, since I was a child I never gain so much weight, not until I reached adolescence as well as pre-adulthood. Believe it or not I'm underweight. Now I'm on my early 20's and still thin. People thought ‘Oh she must be anorexic’ but I'm so so far from that! I actually EAT A LOT. However, still just little changes on my body. Most of them think that my shrinking figure was a result of a diet / eating disorder / or excessive training, but they just don't know that it was really about me having a very fast metabolism. Yes, that was my problem. It's like I can gain a little but then I can also lose a lot. I feel very upset when I hear people think that I had an eating disorder, especially since I struggle to gain weight. It gets so frustrated at times because I’m like ‘I need to put on weight.’ So now with a help of a trainer, I weight-trains to keep on that lean muscle tissue.

    Chronic weight loss is a severe medical problem that afflicts numerous people, especially the sick and the elderly. However, unintentional weight loss can occur anytime and to anyone.

Tips to Avoid Unintentional Weight Loss and Managing a Healthy Weight:

Tip #1: Be healthy. Most cases regarding unintentional weight loss is caused by certain illnesses and malnutrition. Some of the causes are diseases like cancer, chronic diarrhea or in other words a type diarrhea that lasts a long time, hyperthyroidism and mouth sores which prevents you from eating. Sometimes it can also be caused by living an unhealthy lifestyle like smoking and drug abuse.
