    Hi there, my name is Chih Chen. I'm 23 years old now and I'm trying to get some advice as to going back to getting healthy again. I haven't gone back to working out for 2-3 years now. My max weight was 185 about 3 years ago and I use to exercise consistantly for 4 times a week for 2 years and I am 6 ft tall. Now, however, I am quite a skinny guy, I am 140 pounds now at this height and have been smoking avg 15 cigs a day and been smoking for 3 years as well. Some might read this as a testamony, but in reality, I've suffered a lot socially and mentally. However, I think it's time to start picking things up again, but one thing I'm really struggling with is eating. I seem to have lost a great deal of appetite for food. I manage to get my 3 meals a day in, but it's always so hard to sink the food in as my mental state is not there for bulking up. I think it's possibly due to me being so unhealthy these few years and has effected biologically my eating habits and most of the time, I can't even finish my plate of food. Any suggestions about what I should do? As far as exercisng goes, I'm renewing my membership at Gold's gym at the start of next month, but like I said, it's just hard to eat and maybe I'm mentally and biologically not there to bulk up.

    cutting down on smoking will help increase the appetite a bit.

    u have to change the way you think, stop saying i cant eat and i cant gain weight. put your mind to it. there are alot of people that have your problem. then there people like me that have to fight to keep the fat off. if you sit dont i decide this is what im gonna do you will be able to accomplish anything.
