I had low self esteem cause I thought I was a freak because I was so skinny, but after high school I came to just accept it, I have a high metabolisim and there is nothing I can do about it!

You should get tested for Celiac Disease. If you cannot do this, try a gluten free diet. I thought that I had a "high-metabolism" but it was actually malabsorbtion due to celiac. One in a hundred people have it, but the vast majority, over 97%, are undiagnosed (in the United States). It is EXTREMLY important to address this, in cases such as yours.
