Agreed with the PP. I'm as self-conscious as anyone, but I just head to come on when I read that title. 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

If the title was, "I have the body of a teenager . . . ." or
"People mistake me for the nanny . . " or
"I look young and get the death stare when I'm out with my 2 yr old" etc etc etc.,
this thread would be dead or at least gone in an entirely different direction. But to say "most women would die" to be 5'4" and 107#? That's just asking for it.

I am 5'6" and 150 pounds and not at all fat. I can't touch my thumb to my middle finger when I encircle my wrist - I AM big boned.

I'm the 5'0'' poster. I'm a long time DCUM reader and I feel like this thread is one of the worst. I mean, I'm glad so many women "seem" to have such great self-esteem about their own figures, but really everyone is just pointing out the inferiority of other people's bodies to the glorification of their own. That's got to be a new low. I'd feel better about it if I knew that this thread was being kept alive by middle and high school students, but I have a feeling that the adults are doing it all by themselves.

Actually, I think it's 100% bought on by OP's title. In DCUMland, you can't start anything with "I have _______ most women would die for" and not expect a firestorm.

Why? Because I honestly wish I had curves on me. My body is very proportionate for my size. I feel like it makes me look younger thanka I am and I get angry stares when I am with my two year old, like I'm too young to have her.

This is your reason for being self conscious? Don't you at least have a big nose or something?

Seriously, I would not want to be that short or thin! I'm 5 ft 8, and have a very shapely, curvy, fit, toned body, that's very proportioned. My bra size is 32 dddd (naturally). I weigh 160, which you'd never guess. I would not trade and I'm 50 years old!!

You're calling 5'9" 140 pounds fat? You've got to be kidding.

Moo

5'9" 140# is a dream.
Your stats, string bean meanie; or you don't exist.

I love that they come on here calling OP "smurf" and saying they're glad they don't look like a little kid and look so womanly, but the one time somebody called one an Amazon they got all offended. "I can't choooose height, how dare you say tall women aren't as feminine!" You did the same thing to short women, assholes!

OP, you suck for getting this thread started. Now all the DCUM bitches can come on here and hate on everyone's body type that isn't theirs. Whoopee.

Yes, I cannot believe how mean these people are about shorter women.

OP glad you are confident and feel other women want your body. I would not want to be you. I would want to long and lean. 5'9" and could not but a number on the weight because it varies but something like a size four. Coltish.

I'm 5'0'' 115-120lbs...so curvy and short. Somehow I'm still able to find meaning in my life.

Wow, such hate for short women who are smaller chested. I'm 5'3" and nowhere near 107 lbs with 36As. Ugh.

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

I am 5'2", fit and yet curvy...with a 32B! Any larger wouldn't look good on my small frame.
