(need advice from all my gym girlies especially)

hey guys! this is a bit of a vulnerable post but no biggie, i’m after some genuine tips and tricks on how to gain weight as a 5’11 woman. :)

for some backstory, i’m 20 and i have always been really skinny and lanky. i’ve been 60-65kg since i was 14 and haven’t gained nor lost weight. however, ive got a very athletic build and despite being in the “healthy range” i am severely lacking in strength and have multiple nutrient deficiencies. i’ve never really had an eating disorder, i just have really weird hunger cues and often forget. for the record, i DO eat 3 meals almost every day but it’s simply not enough. i burn far more than i gain.

it’s getting to the point where i am desperate to gain weight and trying to set a goal of 75kg, that way i am at a genuinely healthy weight for myself and i can start going to the gym.

i really need some tips and tricks and not just “eat more.” what has helped you guys?

i recently have been diagnosed with bpd and it’s opened a whole world for me. however, i’m wondering what the signs are and experiences of those with co occurring bpd and asd are. my entire teen and adult life people have told me i seem to have asd, including people who are on the spectrum themself.

i have thought this too and honestly there are some parts of me which aren’t fully explained by bpd.
lemme know what y’all’s signs and experiences were!
