I know we shouldn't be over weight but I have always been very thin. I'm 5'8" and 111ibs. If is wasn't for my breasts I would look like Olive Oyl. Is there a way to put on weight safely?
I keep my blood sugars as close to a person without diabetes would. My Dr. said not to gain too much but if I wanted to gain 5-10Lbs that would be fine and to try more fat in my diet from nuts and olives, which I have, but nothing yet.
@Miz Lamb-great idea about the thyroid check. I haven't thought of that.

I'm really skinny. Too skinny and people make fun of me all the time. I'm 16 and I look like I'm 13. People call me anorexic, they ask me if I even eat, etc. Today my tennis coach was pissed at me and yelled "F*cking Olive Oyl!", you know, that super skinny girl from Popeye, and I felt like sh*t.

I have a really low self esteem because my friends make fun of my clothes, my body, my boobs, my hair, to name a few, and now, even my coach makes fun of me.

So, my point is: why is it okay to call someone anorexic (when they're not, it's just genes) but if someone calls another person fat, then they're an awful person?

I'm not saying it's okay to call someone fat, I'm saying it's not okay to make fun of anyone.

Opinions?

Hi. I quit smoking 11 days ago. I've always expected that I would gain a few pounds after quitting --- and honestly I've been eating like there is no tomorrow. I've always been a good eater but now it's like face stuffing fest 2008.

In all honesty I was *hoping* I'd gain some weight because I've always been too thin. Please don't murder me in my sleep for saying this --- but it is true. I'm tall-ish and even staying at a 3 digit number has always been a challenge with my metabolism.

The stuff I've read says to expect a weight gain of 5-10 pounds. When does this typically occur? I'm sure it's partly gradual but I haven't gained an ounce and I've been like a stoned person except that nothing is all that funny. (Everything tastes SO GOOD now!)

Does it take time for your metabolism to slow down after quitting? Or am I just doomed to be Olive Oyl for the rest of my life? (I'm 33)

Help?

I say ''masculinist'' rather than ''male'' because the view of male behavior promulgated by hard-core evolutionary psychologists is as narrow and inflexible as their view of womanhood is.

I'm not interested in explaining to men what they really want or how they should behave. If a fellow chooses to tell himself that his yen for the fetching young assistant in his office and his concomitant disgruntlement with his aging wife make perfect Darwinian sense, who am I to argue with him? I'm only proposing here that the hard-core evolutionary psychologists have got a lot about women wrong -- about some of us, anyway -- and that women want more and deserve better than the cartoon Olive Oyl handed down for popular consumption.

The cardinal premises of evolutionary psychology of interest to this discussion are as follows: 1. Men are more promiscuous and less sexually reserved than women are. 2. Women are inherently more interested in a stable relationship than men are.

Olive Oyl. And why?
I always felt it was an insult. I know, I googled it after people first started calling me that. One man told me it COULD be a compliment in that she was always chased by two men, but who cares? Seriously, I've had plenty of people make remarks and innuendos that I am anorexic or a tweeker, uhh no. I am just naturally slender. Sorry that the vast majority of the people here are obese. The people making comments about my weight were always severely overweight, borderline obese. Hey, if I gained 100 pounds I would have enormous boobs too, but I hardly consider a 34C small, or no boobs. Okay, sorry about the rant.

and what would you call it? It might have been fun to see Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto, Alice the Goon, Wimpy and other regulars in the Popeye cartoons as teens going to school at Sweethaven High and growing up in Sweethaven. Exploring what they were like as kids, and their relationships with their parents. It might be fun to see Olive dealing with her siblings at home, and showing what let up to Popeye's and Bluto's rivalry. I'm wondering why they didn't already come up with this idea? What do you think?

Olive Oyl is on a conveyor belt moving 3 ft/s toward the sawmill. At time t=0, Popeye rescues her and starts running in the other direction along the conveyor belt. His velocity with respect to the ground, v, in ft/s, is given by

v= sqrt(t) - 3

When does Popeye's velocity become positive? How far have he and Olive moved toward the sawmill at this time? What is their net displacement from the starting point at t = 25? What total distance did they go from t=0 to t = 25?

Im going to be Olive Oyl for halloween & im making a purse out of a spinch can and i need to run yarn through the top of the can. I can't figure out how to make two small holes. Or better yet, how to even make a purse out of a metal can??

I'm a gymnast so one day while I was stretching I heard behind me someone (I know his name is Emo but we don't know each other personally, anyway we've never spoken to each other) to tell somebody: "hey doesn't she remind you of Olive Oyl from Popeye the sailor cartoon?
I thought they were talking about me, so I turned to them. The first guy - Emo asked me about my name, I told them it's Meggie, but the other guy didn't hear it rights and said "Peggie?!" and started to laugh. I got annoyed (and also blushed with my stupid shyness) and said loudly "My name is Meggie." then the first guy said "sorry he didn't heard it right.because he's dull". Anyway I went on my training.
Then on other day I went to the gym I heard "Hey, Olive". It was the first guy - Emo, but in that moment I was with my back to him so I decided not to turn round to him and not to say anything. It didn't sound like mockery, but normally and simple.
Also today while I was doing my routine on the beam, other guy asked Emo to make a clip of his high bar routine so Emo stood next to the beam I was practicing on. He asked me if he was standing in my way (he asked me simply, without laughing ot anything else) but I said no. Actually the true answer was yes but I didn't own up. I continued doing my exercise but as I burned with shame (because I wasn't calm to concentrate and fell few times off the beam) I just sat on the ground and took some rest.

I really don't understand. Do you think he had had any thoughts or intentions of me buy saying that about Olive Oyl?
What would you think if you were me and you were compared to Olive Oyl?

cartoon character(s), and does your faith influence your choice(s)?

Mine: in no particular order

Foghorn Leghorn
Yogi Bear
Stewie Griffin
Jesus and Satan on Southpark
