| Re: How much should i weigh?
Food and appetite can be a strange thing, if you go through a period of time not eating much then the stomach shrinks and it does take quite an effort to get your appetite back.
Make sure you eat plenty of fruit, and have you tried things like soup?
How do you feel when you try to eat, do you feel sick as soon as something is in your mouth?
Also when you say you aren't eating, do you literally go through the day without eating anything? Because if so then you will lose weight very very quickly.
Other than the depression and the loss of appetite, are you suffering from any other symptoms? Stomach pains? Are you going to the toilet regularly such as passing stool once a day.
If you have no other symptoms then I really think the problem with lack of appetite is more physcological or a side effect from medication rather than any physical problem.
You really need to try and get some regularity back into your diet. Eating at the same times each day i.e. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Also ensure you are drinking plenty of water.
Other than that being naturally underweight is not something you should really worry about. I myself can very much relate to you as an underweight person, and i have been all my life.
It used to affect my confidence in my teens and early twenties but now at the age of 27 I am happy the way I am.
