Short and Loving It
Quote From: caimbrieI am just barely over 5 feet tall, before i had my children i used to be a size 0. After my children i am a size 3 to a 5. I would never use my height to try to get pitty. I get called "cute" also... so what? At least they arent calling you ugly. I get picked on daily for being so short, my husband is 6'3" so he's always joking with me. I cannot reach the second shelf in my kitchen or stuff on the top of the fridge.
The comments about rewarding people who lose weight makes me sick. Not all people who are overweight, became that way by over eating. People have health issues, physical dissabilities ect... To lump them all together and say they made themsleves that way by eating too much is very rude and ignorant.
"Over weight people can lose weight but I can't make myself grow" NOT all overweight people CAN lose weight, It's not that easy for everyone. Some people are genetically predisposed to being overweight just like I myself am genetically predisposed to being short. Using your height and inability to do certain modeling because of your height to try to get pitty (or gifts from dr. phil, since it looks like you were going for that) is very sad. I think I hear worlds smallest violin playing for you.
I apologize for being so blunt but that is one of the most ridiculous complaints i have ever seen from anyone. If that is the toughest issue in your life, you are one lucky woman. I, too, am just 5 feet tall (short)....and I've learned to love it! My husband is 5'11" and jokes with me about it, too -- he calls me "little foot" (cause I have little feet, too). I'm called cute (even at 52)...and I love it! My husband gets things off the second shelf for me (unless he's not there -- and then I use a chair)...and I love it! My 12-year-old daughter brags about being taller than me....and I love it! At my age, I'm sure there's no chance of growing any taller, but I can continue to grow in confidence and dignity. Maybe Melissa needs to find another challenge -- one in which she can use her brain...and not her beauty. She'll most likely be short for life, but the beauty will someday fade. Oh, and remember the most important thing of all, Melissa...beauty is only skin deep!
