Hi Janejj:

Ok, I am 5'9 3/4...get that, ALMOST 5'10". I was 5'8" when i was 12, and grew and inch and a half in college (I thought my pants had shrunk!!) I was Always The Tallest Person...let alone the tallest girl, in family and class.

Long legs, long waisted, long arms. I cant wear dresses, mother always called my sleeves "bracelet length". I refer to regular length pants as "flood water length". And the absolute best place to buy pants that have, almost consistantly a 31" inseam in their womens slacks, is Nordstroms. (Their customer service people will give you any meaurements of any part of any items you want)

I know what you mean about everyone being shorter...i was shocked one day, walking with my childhood friend and catching our reflection in the store window, wow, she was SHORT!!!

Go Girl. Stand up straight, Be Proud, Fit and enjoy the View!

> I have been told all my life that I'm tall! All my friends are shorter than me and so are all the women in my family. So I've always felt very awkard with it. My current boyfriend says he likes me cos I'm tall and is fed up with short girls !!! I've always wanted to be 5'4, 5'5, as silly as that seems. I love wearing heels but they make me even taller. I also have lots of trouble buying pants/trousers, cos they are never long enough ( I have a short body and long legs ). Nobody has ever called me average height before and it doesn't bother me at all if you say that, infact it makes me happy, lol, and feel like less of a freak.

> Jane, I'm now a little confused. I didn't think 5'7" was tall? I'm an inch shorter & no one's ever said I was tall. In fact, someone your height or an inch taller, looks about the same height as me - not at all tall.

> > Maybe the little boy said that because he's small & maybe his Mom isn't a tall person. Your weight & height combo is very normal & even average. The height to join many tall people's clubs are 5'10" for women. You don't classify as tall - I hope it doesn't bother you when I tell you that you're not really tall - just slightly above average height.

I tell myself that if I were just slimmer then there would be less of me and then i wouldn't stick out so much. A child walked past me with his mom the other day and said 'that lady is really tall' and I just felt like such a freak. I weigh 133-136 pounds. Do you think if I just lost 10 more pounds i would be a little more inconspicuos (sp?) ? What do you think when you see a tall girl ???
