[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I too am 5 feet. I gained 4 pounds and now have an officially unhealthy bmi.  It takes only a couple of slip-ups and i cant get my clothes on![/quote]

Another five footer and same same same same. And I FEEL it when I go from my regular weight - not skinny, but very liveable! - to just a[b] couple of pounds above. Like my whole body and my whole way of moving through the world will feel different. [/b]My regular clothes just don't fit. I HATE it - and it happens, just as OP said, with just a few extra calories per day.

I don't have any hack to deal with this - just, cut out those extra snacks, eat normal meals (no extra bag of chips) and up your exercise for a bit. I will not skip meals, I will not reduce my meals too much - I'm sure I could get back down more quickly if I did either of those. I really just try to do the slow and steady approach - and not to get too cocky once I am back to my regular weight, so I start eating more and putting the pounds - like seriously, three pounds - back on.

My husband, who has struggled with real weight all his life, finds my up three pounds, down three pounds, hilarious.[/quote]

Your whole body and whole way of moving through the world is affected by THREE POUNDS? [/quote]

Yes. It feels really weird. I hate it. Ask other short women you know if they feel the same way. We just carry weight differently.[/quote]

Absolutely. I’m 5 feet and can feel even a few pounds of weight. For regular height people, there’s a lot more places for the weight to spread out but for me, all weight gain is felt in my hips and thighs.

Honestly, even if I feel fine, my clothes tell me I’ve gained.

I’m also a runner and weight gain of even a few pounds can affect my pace.[/quote]
