: I didn't eat all day yesterday. I was on vacation for a month and gained a little bit of weight. Even my friends at work say I look (thicker). I don't like it one bit but when I'm hungry I eat. I don't excercise that often. I'm 22yrs old and I guess maybe my metabolism is slowing down. I'm sooo used to being skinny. I miss it. I miss the chisled face (now mine is round) Round faces run in my family unfortunately. I do drink a lot at times also. Don't get me wrong I'm not really overweight at all it's just this round face. I feel so sloppy lately and it's a little depressing. Sometimes I want to be that stick figure chik again. Any suggestions....--marianna

Marianna,
First of all try and stay away from the idea of being a "stick figure" To me that means no fat and hardley any muscle, not too healthy. Did you know that by eating small meals more often during the day you can actually burn more calories. This happens because your metabolism never has time to slow down. Now keep in mind you can't just eat anything and you also can't eat alot. Try to eat between three and five small meals a day. You can also make it eaiser on yourself if you exercise, it dosen't have to be alot just 30min to an hour at least three times a week. You'll be suprised how fast the body responds to eating the right things and doing a little exercise. Good luck I hope this helps a little.
