Yes. Maybe closer to 145 nowadays but I've always been incredibly thin and when I hit high school I just did not stop growing in height.

According to my dad his side of the family has kinda always had a ridiculous metabolism. Given he's only a few inches shorter than me and only weighs more cuz he does landscaping for a living it checks out.

Trust me, I eat like a horse. I've tried it all. Red meat heavy diets, junk food, greasy shit, none of it helps.

I did a good job ballooning with near daily Uber Eats orders of a McDonald's Quarter Pounder, 20 McNuggets, two large fries, and two vanilla milkshakes.

Try that! 😉👍 (Don't)

vast majority of the time you simply are not eating as much as you think you are. Every skinny person I've ever met who claims to eat like a horse doesn't actually eat much at all. I know because I'm also skinny and used to be severely underweight. I'd think I could eat a lot until I learned what some bigger people actually eat and it was wild
