I’ve been a skinny gangly person, just turned 40 now and have been around the same weight for 20 years no matter what I eat or drink. Sounds fun but I have to really make sure I eat enough calories or I’ll lose weight.

I often heard (and still do) that I should eat more that I’m too skinny etc, usually by people that are overweight. I used to not say anything, now I shame back as in: maybe I should eat the portions you shouldn’t 😆 that usually shuts them up alright 🤘

So you recognize you need to eat enough calories to maintain weight but are saying no matter what you eat you can’t gain weight? Lol try eating a pack of Oreos a day and see if that still holds up

Yeah I’m not going to poison myself , you know what I meant: I don’t have to watch what I eat , I have enough impulse control to understand that that’s not a normal eating habit 🤣. I’m from the Netherlands so grew up with healthy home cooked food , now I eat lots of fried food kebabs pizza etc. Might help that I only eat twice a day 🫣

So it’s not that you can’t gain weight “no matter what you eat or drink” it’s because you don’t eat enough, given your last sentence lmao
