I'll try to dig up the article, it was a cool read.
That makes a lot of sense. Also, I remember in high school when I started to run, I lost some weight and all my friends kept telling me that they "never noticed how tall [I] was." I think when we're heavy and tall, people who are shorter than us tend to think we are the same height for some weird reason. When we lose weight, however, people start noticing how tall we are rather how wide we are. At least that's what I've observed.
