Heh, I've been on spiro and estradiol a while now and the problem is my thighs, posterior, and hips are getting to big for many of my pants.

Finding an incentive to put weight on is kinda hard. Weight gain has a massive stigma. At least from what I've seen.

Once you're on HRT? It's breasts and booty gains. Excessive weight gain on the otherhand... nope.

They're definitely getting there. Not very comfortable running or going down stairs without support. And bending over feels awkward and slightly off. Amongst other more fun changes.

I don't have the BMI to be allowed HRT at this moment in time. That's why I need to get weight.

Since page 500 is not too far away, we should probably consider who's going to be tasked with cleaning up the OP for the new thread (Checking all information is up to date and correct, ensuring all links work, adding additional information and resources, and so on).

I mean I imagine I'll not have as much food when I (hopefully) go to university. Although maybe the stuff I eat will be less healthy, as a household I would say we do eat healthier than most.

Eat calorific food. Whatever's on offer, choose the most indulgent option. However, it's also important not to do what you often do, and eat so much at once it makes you feel sick. If you do that, you won't feel like eating again for a while. Eating a lot between meals might help more than overdoing it at the dinner table.

So like, light snacking? As in a packet of crisps or something? Seems more than manageable

Basically, yes. Walk past the biscuit tin, eat a biscuit. In theory, you'll be able to consistently eat without feeling too full to not have dinner.
