iawtc: i am tiny; 6'1" and only 140ish lbs. i eat like a champ and it all disappears. i always make the tapeworm joke too. but yeah, it kind of sucks. but living on my own and being of legal age has led to me gaining about two inches of fat around the ring of my waste, due to too much taco bell (i know, i've recently denounced it. i know.) and too much beer (which i'm also trying to lay off of). hopefully this will get that fat off my belly, but that doesn't help the fact that the rest of my body is skin and bones. i'm not a weakling or anything... i'm just small. suggestions?
(ps: my diet sucks. i'll admit to that.)
