Hi Jane,
I'm almost 6' and I love being tall. I didn't always, but when I became an adult I realized it was an attractive quality. 5'7" is almost in the tall range but isn't short, so basically you're just right! 133-137 is the right weight to be for your size (I checked it on a height/weight calculator) so you need to think about your self image. Have you ever taken a dance class? Being able to move my body and being more graceful makes me feel not as lumbering.
This is weird - I've always dated men who were shorter than I am, ie: 5'2", 5'6" etc. Now I have a boyfriend who is 6'8" and I feel petite!

> Something that has been bugging me for a while is my weight. I'm 5'7 and have always felt that I tower over other people and I feel terribly self concious about it. 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 ???
