OP, I also would like to know how often you poop, and if you need laxatives to do so.

Wow, why would anyone want to be that short? Crazy.

OP - Is it super fun to go clothes shopping because EVERYTHING fits?

What I found as I've gotten older is being thin ages my face. I've always been told I looked younger than my age by about 12 yrs which after 38 was great to me - especially b/c I had a job which required 72 hours on call with little sleep. Then I approached 50 and felt like my face started to sink in. Yikes!! After years of being 5'5 and about 115lbs., I put on weight to fill out my face. My height has never bothered me but I do usually wear heels. It's nice to read how many women are happy with themselves. Magazines would have us believe otherwise.

This thread is a year old people. It's bad enough we entertain this stupid Ask Me Anything threads, but resurrecting and old one?

I find that hard to believe. I'm 5'3" and hate being short.

I'm also 5'3". No complaints here. I don't want to be shorter, but being tall is not appealing either. I like tall men and find that a lot of them don't want tall ladies.

In high school I wanted to be petite but not now. I'm 37 and 5'6, 130 lbs. If I could change anything I'd go from B to C cup and add an inch.

I'm sure OP looks great and I too have hang ups even though I'm thin, but I do have to admit that my first thought was "wait I'm supposed to want to die to be shorter, less curvy, and flatter?" also, OP said she's 26. Woop de do. How many kids does she have? If this was someone in their 40s who had kids and still looks great, then we'd be talking.

5'8", 135, 32C, two kids by the way - and I too have horrendous body image

Really? What's not to like?

+1 You need some self-love, honey! Sounds good to me.

Moron alert. I was always taught the shorthand that it's 100 pounds for the first 5 feet and 5 pounds for each inch thereafter. That would be 145 pounds for someone who's 5'9". Besides, how do you know 20:55 isn't in kick-ass physical shape? Muscles weigh more than fat, dolt. I'm 5'6", 135 pounds and a size six. I get hit on A LOT and my husband is quite satisfied. Maybe you're one of these weirdos who likes women that look like hunger victims?

But she's not confident. She's self conscious. Maybe because she knows most women are not dying to be short and rail thin. Just saying.

Please find me a woman between 5'6-5'11 who would like to be shorter??

I'm 5'9" 140lbs and would not give away an inch, nor a pound, I look like a woman.

Sing it sister! Same here.

No. Most women do not want to be short and rail thin. But keep telling yourself that, sweetie! Eye roll.

I wonder if height preference is a matter of experience. I'm tall and can't imagine being 5'4". It would bother me every day, whereas being 10 pounds overweight does not bother me every day. But perhaps I wouldn't feel this way if I had never been taller than 5'4" and didn't know what it was like to be able to see over a crowd or anything else in a room.

OP, I am you. You have a LOT of haters, don't you?

Know that, and the rest is cake, as they say!

Do you have boobs and do you poop a lot
