I HATE being short!

There I said it... For those of you that were blessed with height, I am insanely jealous.. Not only can you reach stuff, but you get to eat more.. I have my thing set at sedentary, because I work in an office, then I log my exercise.  My daily intake is supposed to be 1300 calories because if I do not work out I ONLY BURN 1600!  WTH!!  I usually eat 1500 if I work out, but still, my taller friends get to eat so much more and I am almost at my goal so the weight is just NOT coming off anymore!  I go up a a few pounds and then back to where I was, then up a few and on and on... I am SICK of being a SHORTY!!!!  (I am 5'2 125 right now) I had to rant... sorry.. *grumbles*

Actually you can tailor you jeans to look the same!  It's called "grafting" or "keeping the orignal hem".  The seamstress will cut off the finished bottom of your jeans and sew it on top of length after its been shortened.  It looks so much better than just having your jeans hemmed.  Both Macys and Nordstrom alter jeans that way for about 20 to 22 dollars.  I go to an alterations shop and they do it for 20.  Its worth every penny!  A good trick is if you find a pair of jeans you love, by two pair!  Then go to the tailor with your highest pair of heels and a pair of sneakers/flats and have each pair tailored to fit your high and flat shoes.

 thanks for the info about hemming.  I usually just take a pair of scissors and chop them off.  It's kinda gotten to be my style.  Although, it would be nice to have a pair of jeans look "nice" on the bottom.  I already decided I'm going to buy myself an awesome pair of Silvers once I get to my goal weight, I will definately have to have them hemmed!!!

Psst Tinymomma, I'm 4'11" and 125 so our stats are nearly identical! What's your goal weight?
