The one on the right looks like my brother. For awhile my sisters and I were afraid that my brother was anorexic, but that turned out to be false. Turns out he actually wants to gain weight, but no matter how much he eats, he never puts on anything. For about two weeks I watched him pack away as many calories as he possibly could, but he barely gained anything.
And no, he's not bulimic because he never went to the bathroom to vomit. Believe me, I would know - I'm like the "vomit patrol" person in my house; nobody vomits without me finding out about it.
Does anyone know of any medical conditions that cause people to be as thin as a rail despite the amount of calories they consume?
My god, it's the same for my fiance. He's skinny as a twig, and eats like a horse, but he never goes up.
For crying out loud - Over christmas he LOST weight!
