I always thought I was 5 ft. but I just got myself measured and I'm only 4'9". And according to my BMI I'm almost overweight! How is that possible? The largest pants size I've ever wore is a 5. Is there anyone else here who is as short or shorter?
Short girls are hot!!! I've always preferred petite women. Makes me feel all big and "manly".
I thought I was 4" 11 for the longest but I'm 5"1, I don't see my self as short and I'm used to other people being taller so it's very annoying when people are like " LOL your so short" -.- it's like no I'm not short your just tall... XD that's the way I see it
I found out i was short by measuring myself. I always thought i was 5 feet because my mom is slighty taller than me and she thought she was 5'1". I'm already 18 and not even taller than my mother! Well at least i dont have any deformities like stubby fingers. : /
Measure yourself in the morning. At night and the afternoon, the feet are swollen from walking around all day so if you measure yourself you'll "appear" to be taller. I'm taller than you at 5ft 2 and 1/2 inches. Smallest pant size I ever wore was I think a 3. I could probably wear smaller since most of my pants are loose.
haha shorter than you ...its 4'8!!! short people i guess are becoming normal..... but what your age that too effect your personality ... if you are young than having this height is not a problem but if 18 and above you're short!!
The nurses aren't always accurate with the measurements. Since 7th grade I've been 5'6” (add a centimeter or 2 over the years) last, year when I was 22 the nurse insisted I was only barely 5'4. I kept telling her she was wrong and that I've been the same height for years and it's not possible that everyone else was wrong. She showed me the height chart and it said 5'4. Puzzled after my appointment I went home and measured myself with measuring tape. The results were a bit over 5'6” and future doc appointments were the same results as mine. So, moral of the story is that place purchased some defected equipment and maybe yours had too.
If you thought you were 5' and you were measured as 4 ' 9 " I'd get a tape measure and measure my self to see if all the times I was told I was 5 ' tall was right and the one time I was told it was 4'9" was the one that was wrong .
Welcome to my life. But I'm not almost overweight, I'm 4'9" and 43 kg (94 lbs).
I am assuming you are female. It is not normal as in average but I have seen girls your height and shorter.
