My story about my weight issues

olivia

helloooo ladies, i wanted to share my story here and get some help/advice. i guess i’ll just start with things from the beginning, ive always been a sort of lanky person, im not superrrr tall im 5”7 and i’ve just always been skinny and long. lol. i’m involved with my high school volleyball team and swim team. back in november of 2018 i would consider myself to be at a good weight for my size, i was 136 lbs and seemed pretty healthy. in january of 2019 my boyfriend of almost 1 year broke up with me cause of some mental health issues, it wasn’t a bad breakup but it eventually became one overtime. he broke up with me and basically moved on too quick for me to process (he also moved on to my best friend which is like 10x worse) and now he’s blocked me on everything to keep me away. which sucks cause i still care. but in about the middle of february i went to the doctors and got an annual check up, my friends had been commenting on my weight and saying i was looking a little extra skinny but i hadn’t really noticed, when the doctor weighed me i saw i was now 126. which is 10 lbs less than what i used to be and for a person like me who is already skinny, 10 lbs is a lot. i am not in anyway purposely losing weight. the doctor said she wasn’t worried about it tho?? and i continued with my life and my mom and freinds both continued to worry and ask if i was okay and offered me food. anytime lunchtime came around i would always be so ill to my stomach with stress and anxiety about what’s going on with me ex and how everything changed so quick that i could never eat. i wouldn’t eat breakfast or lunch and maybe in the afternoon i would eat a few snacks. it wasnt healthy i know but food just sickened me to think about. i’ve also quit swimming and volleyball season is over. eventually the question of “are you anorexic?” came to me by one of my friends and i was just torn by it. people started saying “you look anorexic” “eat something omg” “you look like skin and bones” “you look like a skinny whale” and things like that. i’m honestly pretty depressed and i’m down to 120 now. i’ve lost 16 lbs. everyone’s worried about me and i’m cold all the time and i’m getting really worried cause my period is late by 1 week and that can be caused by an extreme amount of weight loss i know. i’m currently trying to eat more foods with carbs and fatty stuff and do small workouts at home to gain muscle, i’m trying really hard but i’m just asking for tips or any ideas on what else i can do to gain weight. here’s some pictures of what i looked like and what i look like now, (i’m the blonde one in all of these pictures)
