INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's a good idea to continue to exercise while you attempt to gain weight the healthy way. However, it's probably best to lay off the cardio (which burns those hard-earned calories) and focus on strength training instead (which builds muscle mass and helps you to gain weight).  Strength training includes working with weights and performing exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, bicep curls, crunches, chin-ups and leg curls. If you've never done strength training before, it's a good idea to enlist the help of a personal trainer who can show you how to perform the exercises safely and correctly. Just keep in mind that the more you exercise, the more calories you will need to consume to replace those you lost while working out. This is where protein shakes and bars really come in handy. Luckily, exercising should also increase your appetite. Smoking is a bad idea for those who are trying to gain weight as it suppresses the appetite.  Although it won't be easy, quitting is the healthiest option - not only will it increase your appetite but it will improve your overall appearance, not to mention the health of your lungs. If quitting seems too extreme, at least avoid smoking for an hour or two before meals. Keeping a food journal will allow you to keep track of your weight gain and enable you to see which methods are working and which or not.  Make a note of every calorie you consumed that day and every calorie you burned (to the best of your knowledge). Also write down your weight after each weekly weigh in. See the numbers written down in black and white will help you to figure out what your you're doing wrong or what you could improve on. It will also help to keep you motivated once you begin to see progress. Stress may also be contributing to your low weight. When people are stressed, they can neglect basic things like eating regularly and well and exercising. Try to keep your stress levels down. Take time every day to unwind and relax.  You might try relaxation techniques, yoga, or meditation to help you control your stress levels. If it helps, you can join a class. Make time for things that you enjoy, too. Take time to read or watch a movie in the evening. Take a warm bath before bed. Gaining weight is not an easy process - in fact, gaining weight can be much harder than losing it. However, it is important that you stay committed and keep your eyes on the prize.  Set small, manageable goals for yourself - like aiming to gain 4 pounds in a month. This will give you something more tangible to work towards. If you set your goals too high, it's easy to become overwhelmed and feel like giving up. The most important thing through the entire weight gain process is to stay healthy - eating a balanced diet and continuing to exercise throughout.  Bingeing on junk food many seem like the easier option, but your overall health will suffer and you will not be able to maintain the weight in the long run. Remember that you're not just trying to gain weight - you're trying to overhaul your entire attitude towards food.

SUMMARY: Gain muscle mass. Quit smoking. Keep a food journal. Reduce your stress. Stay committed. Stay healthy.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: White paper bags (3.5 inches by 6.5 inches recommended) A bone folder (to help fold the top of the bag down) Pencil (optional) Stencils (optional) Craft knife (also known as an X-ACTO blade, optional) Small piece of cardboard (optional) Wire for hanging (22-gauge, cut into 17-inch strips recommended) Grommets and grommet pliers Electric tea lights To do this, fold the top of the bag over in a slow, circular motion, moving around the bag. Pull out the gussets (the folded-in parts) on both sides of the bag and work the bone folder around the top fold until the fold is clean and the bag is flat (with the gussets out and flat too). Use a pencil to stencil in a design on the front of the bag, then cut out the shape with a craft knife. Place a piece of cardboard inside the bag as you cut to protect the back of the bag. If you don’t want to make a design on the bag, you can move down to the step in which you add grommets to the sides of the bag. Place 1 grommet in the middle of each side of your bag, roughly 1/2-inch down from the top of the bag. To find the center, use the crease from the mid-line of the gusset as your guide. Note that it’s not necessary to hang your lantern. Some people simply drop a tea light into a white bag and leave it at that! To fasten the wire securely to the bag, pull it through the grommet and then twist the end of the wire upwards along the rest of the wire. Before you had a tea light to the bag, make sure that the wire is securely fastened to the bag. An electric tea light is highly recommended, as a regular tea light can pose a fire hazard, particularly if the lantern is hung somewhere where it might be jostled.

SUMMARY: Gather your materials: Fold over the top inch of your paper bag. Clean up your fold. Make a design on the bag. Add grommets to the sides of your bag. Loop wire through the grommets to form a “handle”. Place a tea light inside the bag. Enjoy your lantern!
