I'd caution you not to overeat JUST for the sake of gaining weight. If you're consuming a bunch of fatty, sugary junk, it's GOING to catch up with you in your mid 20's - early 30's when your metabolism slows down. At that point, your bad habits will be a lot harder to break and the weight will be a lot harder to lose if you do start to gain some excess fat. Please be smart about what you're consuming and don't skip the exercise. It's entirely possible to be skinny on the outside, but still have fat building up around internal organs. That can lead to health problems down the road.
