I have started a weight gain journey. I know that is pretty bizarre for me to do, but I have been skinny all of my life.

I am sick of being skinny and I want some meat on my bones to truly be happy with myself. Most people think there is nothing wrong with my body and think I am crazy to even start this journey. But I am doing this journey to make myself feel good in my own body.

A lot of people do not realize that there is a such thing as skinny shaming.

I have been shamed for being skinny all of my life. I have been called so many unpleasant names for being skinny and believe it or not it takes a toll on my self-confidence level.

Me being so skinny are reasons that I have some self-esteem problems. I always caution what I wear because I just do not want to look like a stick in clothes. I just feel like a walking stick sometimes. When I worked at Olive Garden a while ago I used to get so many "jokes" about my size. One lady even asked if I was anorexic. I just got so tired of the shaming and just decided to go ahead and try this journey out.

Before my weight gain journey I was 107 pounds, I am also 5'5. Currently, I am 120 pounds and I have 10 more pounds to go to reach my goal. There are many methods I use to gain weight.

The first method I use to gain weight is lifting weights. Lifting weights brought muscles and me a more firm shape. I enjoy working out and do this regularly so this method was a breeze.

My next method is drinking Boost Plus. It is so hard drinking these drinks. There are absolutely gross to me and I feel myself almost throwing up every time I drink one. I have to not only force myself to drink them, but also mentally prepare myself. I drink two of these a nights and I definitely saw results. I gained 5 pounds in a week's time. The only bad thing about drinking boost is that it is so expensive. So I recently stopped taking boost. One pack of boost plus cost close to ten dollars at your local supermarket.

Another option is amphetamine. I have been using Amphetamine for about a month now. Amphetamine has helped me gain about 5-7 pounds. The cons of Amphetamine is that it will make you really sleepy for the first three days of taking it. Amphetamine is a cheaper solution for me than to take boost plus every day. I am on my second bottle of amphetamine and I am hoping to get to my weight goal with this second bottle.

My last method that I use is to eat 3,000 calories plus a day. There are plenty of reviews on Youtube that will help you out. All in all, I hope this article helps people that are trying to gain weight.
