One could only put on weight from overeating or eating the wrong kind of food (hidden calories)

A question not a lot of people ask, but this is a good one.  There is sometimes a problem with the hypothalamus, which sets your body's weight.  Most often it is higher than we would like, but sometimes it is lower.  There is a juice that is a modifier.  It helps heavier people loose, but more importantly for you, it stimulates underweight bodies to gain.  It modifies blood sugars for some afflicted with type l and even more potently affects people with joint injuries by modifying anti-inflamationenzymes.

diet and/or stress probably.

weight is not meant to be lost quickly. That causes injury.

Have you seen a doctor?  If you are making a lot of effort with no to little progress you might (emphasis on that word "might") have a physical condition that prevents you from losing weight.  I have thyroid issues that affect my weight.  there are many medical conditions that affect weight issues.

Water is great for putting on some temporary weight. Permanent weight gain is a matter of eating more calories than you burn each day. You can reduce your physical activity level if you lead a very active lifestyle, or try to eat bigger portions for your meals. \nI do not recommend pigging out daily on a tub of ice cream or some such fat gaining nonsense as you will develop serious health issues if you do so.\nLastly, go see a licensed health professional.

yes. They can loose weight too.  If you are gaining weight look at what you are eating...Maybe you're having sugar cravings caused by the medication, talk with your doctor, maybe he/she can prescribe another medication that won't cause you to gain weight.   Try to exercise everyday.  It will improve your mood....

Yes, you will be temporarily heavier by drinking lots of water.  You'll end up sweating and peeing it out, though, so you won't gain weight in the long term.  Drinking too much anything is dangerous and can have devastating consequences, so I don't suggest trying to put on the pounds by doing a lot of anything.  Some athletes have died from drinking too much water and thereby diluting their blood.

People gain weight for different reasons.  Some may simply be lazy and not care about their health or physical appearance.  Others may be depressed and use food as a comfort zone.  Others again may intentionally put on weight to make themselves unattractive to others so they are not hurt by a relationship going wrong(usually as a response to being hurt in the past)\n\nIt really depends on what their priorities and motivations are.  If they don't make their health and appearance a primary priority ultimately it will suffer.  Also note that it's one thing to be thin, it's entirely another to be healthy and fit.  You shouldn't link the two of them together.\n\nEdit/Addition: Actually numerous people here have answered your question.  It's not easy to just flick a switch in your head and reverse or change the things that are causing you to overeat or not exercise.  If it is a deeply traumatic issue that you have trouble dealing with usually it takes a LOT of work and a lot of motivation to break out of it.  The answer to your question is threefold:\n\n1. Some people are too emotionally depressed to make a change for the better and hence continue along the same self-destructive path OR\n2. They're medically ill and cannot help it (quite a rare case compared to the other 2 OR\n3.  They're too lazy\n\nHope that clears it up

You probably gained muscle weight.  Muscle weighs more than fat.  Unless you have been eating more of the wrong foods you probably are slimmer and less flabby.

It doesn't directly contribute. It is natural for you to want to relax after eating because your body is putting a lot of energy into digesting your food. Now if you stay sitting or laying down and don't exercise daily, that will make you gain weight.

Stress can either make you gain weight or loose it.  When you are extremely stressed your hormones go crazy.

People have different frame sizes and would look absurd being a size 0 or 2...My weight has fluctuated all my life ...my lowest weight was like 145 and people told me I looked sick..as in way too skinny. Yes there are diseases and genetics also factor into metabolism and stress can for some people pack on the pounds. I had a recent weight loss and I was doing real good getting it off I had lost 60+ pounds in a course of 5 or 6 months but about 1 year later starting right after my mom died, I started gaining weight and no matter how much I tried to stick to the plan (diabetic food exchange) I still gained weight back I have gained about 40 pounds and in a course of 4 months and my eating has not changed that much to explain the gain, they say that stress make blood sugar go crazy (now I believe it). I am choosing the more excellent way in not mouthing off my opinion of your opinion, because after all you are entitled, just hopefully people don't use the same magnifying glass you use when you look at others when they look at you.
