Man, I feel like a shrimp! I am 5'8" and love being taller as well. (Although its really annoying that my teenagers are taller than me!) I too struggle with the same problems as most have mentioned, especially finding pants that are long enough. Most of my height is in my legs, so even when I find ones that fit my hips, the legs are too short. Plus, I have a small waist, so when they fit my hips, they gape at the waist! Ah, to have the funds for custom made clothes! My biggest fear with losing weight is that I will [U]still[U] have problems finding pants that fit even when I am smaller! I also have to lose quite a bit before changing sizes. Right now I am 302 lbs and in a 24. I lost 40 lbs. last year and was only in a tight 20.
Let's hear it for being tall!
