I am skinny.
I'm totally new to this forum, first of all. I joined because I've been losing weight little by little over the past few months. I was vegan for about nine months during this past year before I got sick, realized I had lost about ten pounds, and transitioned back to vegetarian. I've noticed that people comment on my weight more often than they used to. I think it's awfully insensitive and annoying, but I recognize that it is because I have lost weight. Even though I'm physically fit and even though I'm generally satisfied with my strength, I'm not happy with the way I look right now. I don't feel especially attractive and I'd like to gain weight.
And that's basically why I'm here. I figured I'd ask people who may have dealt with weight loss how they were able to modify their diet and gain weight, instead.
For reference, I'm a 21 year-old male. I'm about 5'11, and currently floating around 135 pounds. I run for thirty minutes three times a week, and about an hour on Sundays. I don't have much of a set fitness routine going on other than running. I do push ups and yoga quite frequently, but it's more random than at set times. I have been terribly depressed the past few months, and I wonder if that has been a factor in this. Also, it's worth mentioning that I'm entering my senior year at University. I am poor in addition to being skinny.
Thanks in advance for any replies to this post!
