They eat whatever they want, I've seen them at lunch, eating pop-tarts, donuts and salted fries, they have six pack abs and a hawt girlfriend each, I'm there with my little ham sandwich and small drink, I don't have a six pack, and I'm not so attractive, I don't have a pretty girlfriend, or many friends at all.
I can't live with it.

Those people that eat crappy food (the pop-tarts, donuts, fries etc) might not put on weight now, but I think it will catch up with them sooner or later and in one way or another - weight gain and/or serious health problems like cancer. I know guys who ate anything and everthing in their teens and were bean poles, but in their mid-twenties they started gaining weight.
I agree with the others - you've got to get this checked out by a doctor. Also, don't skip meals because that will have the oposite effect of what you're trying to achieve. Eat well, eat small portions, and keep active. It's not all about getting the girls. Work hard, get a great job, be very successful. You don't need to be attractive to do that; you need to have a brilliant mind and a drive to achieve. I didn't have a boyfriend at school. I wasn't particularly pretty and I was shy, and I always lost out to the girls who were pretty and outgoing and who could flirt. It sucked and my self-esteem was very low. But I'm happily married now to a guy who loves me for who I am.
Jay-qu is right, though. If you have a health problem sometimes you really do just have to live with it. I do everything I can to keep my asthma and allergies under control, but I still have asthma attacks, and I still have sinus infections and it all drives me crazy. But that's just how it is. I didn't get the perfect body and I have to deal with that. I have to focus on my strengths and utilise those.
Your first step Gardamorg is to see a doctor and find out why you're gaining weight. Seriously, do this. Let us know what they say and we can take things from there.
