[quote=Anonymous]I am 5'10. I know I am not the tallest person in the world, but I am still taller than 99 percent of women. Being tall always made me feel massive during my teens and early/mid  20s unless I kept my BMI at 18 with a 25 inch waist. It feels like society only accepts tall women if we look like models. If we don't, people just see us as huge amazonian linebackers. I finally accepted my size now that I am in my 30s, but if I am being completely honest, a part of me is still bitter. I know I will never be small no matter how hard I try.
Most people focus on weight, but I really think height is what defines if a woman is big or small. Tall, skinny women might look statuesque, but we can never be dainty or delicate. A lot of cute romantic gestures just aren't an option because of my size. A guy is never going to easily carry me, and sitting on a guy's lap makes me feel like an overgrown dog. It is just way less cute. Short women still look delicate to me even if they are overweight because of their height and their smaller hands and feet. I recently discovered Kibbe and realized I am a Dramatic. I will be a big woman no matter my weight.
