[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm not as tall as you (5'9) but I HATED my height until at least my mid-20s.  All my friends in high school were 5'2 and I always felt like an oaf-like giant.  Now (at age 42) I love it.  It's great in a crowd!  Although I probably obsess about my weight a bit, because if I gain a few pounds I just feel big and heavy (man-like).  When I was younger I always wanted to be described as "cute", but I came to terms with that fact it would never happen.    [/quote]

Awww it's good to know that :) And yes! I totally agree. It's like I have to keep being thin lol.  Thank you:)[/quote]

I'm the 5'9 poster, and at least it is easier to stay thin when you have the height!  Having a small frame helps.  Everyone is always surprised that I "only" wear a size 8 shoe.  But yeah, staying thin is important at that height for your joints.  I was up to almost 150 lb for a bit in my 20s, and I blame that for the bad joints that I have now.  (although who knows if that is the case).  Osteoporosis is also more of a concern for tall women.  Take those calcium pills![/quote]
