A midget complains

You know, I have never minded being short before, but occasionally I am honestly a bit grumpy about the fact if I was simply 4 inches taller I'd be allowed to EAT MORE!

Cue the abuse

How tall are ya? As a 5'2 person I can relate...

I'm ALMOST 5'3 (like a point or two off, but I count it as 5'3.) and I hate it. Haha.

Heh, I'm 5'3". Everyone else gets told off for eating 1300 calories or whatever, but as I am OLD and SHORT I just get patted on the head and told, yes dear, that's your lot!

here, here from another 5' 2"er!!  I want more food

I'm right there with ya. . . .I'm ALMOST 5'1". . . .

ugh me too, me too! 4'11.5" UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I think I am supposed to eat 1200/day... boooo. I'm always hungry!

I believe the politically correct term is "little person."

Ugh, I hear ya.  At under 5'3 (5'2 and a wee bit) I have to work my rear end off just to eat so I'm content.  Oh well.

i'm 5'3, as well, so i completely hear you...

5' here!  Definitely feel your pain!

5' too.  But I eat 1600 to 1700.  I can't survive on 1200.

I hate being short too, but I try to think positive.

If you want to eat more, you have to excersize more.

If you excersize more, you get a better/toned/healthier looking body! (better than being able to eat more without excersize and looking sloppy? thats up to you)

Ah my shrimpy 'lil friends (LOL!!), I am 5'5", closer to 6' with my heels.... But you know of course that my allowable 1500 calories per day equates exactly to your miserly 1200 calories per day.  There's more of me to consume ever more calories.  What I'm trying to say is if you pinch me, I hurt, if you hurt me, I cry and if I'm taller and need 300 calories more than you do, it just falls into the pit and tries to spread itself over a larger area.  Don't you feel better?!

I'm 5'2 and I really can't complain right now because I'm obese so I can eat alot more then most and am still losing weight. I'm at 1700 calories but normally go over to about 1900-2100.

The problem I have with being short is I can't reach things. They make cupboards in kitchens so high anymore for space saving reasons but I can't reach em. Whats worse is it's too scarey for me to get on a stool right now.

Some of the bank counters I feel like a child trying to peek over still lol.

Oh and driving an SUV.........I have to use a pillow

and the heavier you are when you are short the rounder you are grrrr

 Lmao..yes, this is correct. Little People find the "M" word as offensive as an African American finds the "N" word.

Just a little note. ;)

If I was 4" taller, I wouldn't be overweight!

 I prefer "fun sized!"

The best things come in small packages. ;)

Haha..I like the term *fun sized!*

Well, ladies, if you are traditional thinkers, at least you have a larger pool of guys to choose from, since the shorter ones are more available to you.
