Shorties thread?
Is there a short people thread around here somewhere? I'm 4'11" and have 30 lbs to go--
|
Not sure...but I'm a shortie too. Only 5' 1" :)
|
I think there is, but I am not sure what it is called.
|
I think I saw a shorties thread in the "Chicks up for a Challenge" sub forum. But that was many months ago.
Hey, I was wondering about something. If you're short in height (like up to 5'4, I think) but you wear a size 24... are you considered petite or plus? |
I haven't seen a shorty thread out there yet, though this is only my third day on the site. I wonder if we could start our own? I'm 5'3"...am I too tall to join? :)

In my personal opinion though, I consider you a lovely petite like the rest of us! |
5'1 over here!
|
5'1 also! I like being short :)
|
I like being short too! :carrot:I didn't like it when I was younger. I do hate how 5 extra pounds looks like 30 on me, though. I can't wait to shop in the petite section again--all the shirts are way too short on me because of the boobage.

Shorty! I'm barly 5 feet, if I shrink as I age I'm going to be a midget. Sometimes, in the spring especially, when I was in the 200's I'd buy women's plus sized capri's and they'd fit me like normal pants and not drag on the ground. I guess pretty soon I'll be able to buy petites.

For those of you who have full grown kids, did they grow up to be tall/med/short? I'm a few inches shorter than both my parents. My husband is 5'10" and I sometimes wonder how tall my girls will end up.

I'm short -- 5'2" and I *don't* like it!
1. I hate having to buy petite pants (severely limits my options) or else hem them up. Actually, sometimes I even have to hem PETITE pants -- what's with that?????? 2. I hate that even little amounts of weight are VERY obvious on my small frame. 3. I also think being short contributes to my looking "young" which doesn't help me get immediate respect from strangers at work. :) Wow, I sound kinda vehement, huh? I didn't mean that too. I"m just having a crap day. Mostly I'm fine with being short but if I could be like 5'4 or 5'5" I just feel like it would be a lot better!! |
I definitely understand, Transformer08. My friend pick on me a lot (good naturedly but it does get on my nerves). My least favorite thing is having to ask strangers to help me reach items on the top 2 shelves at the grocery store!
On the bright side, I fit in a lot more places than everyone else (I OWN the backseat of cars!) and I never have to duck going through the doorway! Plus, at least for me, I have a wider selection of shoes since I can fit into the kid's sizes too! |
I'm short. 4'10". And I have about 10-15 to go. And I can't tell if I've lost any since I came to school because 1. there's no scales ANYWHERE on campus and 2. I have an extra load of water weight from Aunt Flo. Icky.

At home I have perfected the hobbit technique for getting the cereal box off the top shelf. Jump, hit it, catch it when it falls. |
Bad things about being short:
~Having to hem all your pants ~Capris never seem to look right ~Can't reach high shelves without a stepstool ~Not very sexy as you climb down from a barstool ~5 pounds looks like so much more. :( ~Last to know when it's raining (haha) Good things about being short: ~Can always wear heels! ~Flirting technique: "oh excuse me cute-guy-i-want-to-talk-to, can you reach that item for me on the high shelf?" *wink* ~Never have to duck going through doors ~Can sleep comfortably on a couch, without your feet hanging off! Add your own! :) |
