16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? I'm 5'8", but I've got a small frame I think. I was always the "skinny friend", and my friends at home don't like to hear me talk about my discomfort or my healthy eating topics, since they always complain that they're fat while they're eating deli sandwiches and huge slices of pizza and ice cream and stuff... It's hard to be around them when food is usually at the heart of an event, so I just keep silent about what I'm thinking, so it would be nice to be able to get out my thoughts so I don't drive myself crazy!
