Gaining Weight

I have been skinny all my life. My mom says that it's in our genes. She used to be skinnier than me when she was my age.

I want to gain weight. Some people might think that I am crazy for even wanting to gain weight! I've had friends and relatives tell me how lucky I am to be able to eat anything and not gain too much. I guess I am lucky. But I don't feel lucky when I am out trying on clothes and getting frustrated coz sometimes even the smallest size don't fit me!

I was able to gain weight when I used to work in an audit firm. During the busy season, my officemates and I would stay until the wee hours working... and our only solution to beat the stress? Eat, eat and eat! I was glad when I saw that I was gaining a few pounds. But imagine my frustration when after the busy season I started to lose the pounds that I gained!! Grr!!

Oh well.. I guess I just have to deal with the fact that I am skinny and grateful that I can eat anything I want without worrying about my weight.
