suddenly feeling shorter since I lost weight

fun_b

I am 5ft 4 and have always been considered quite tall in my family. I never really thought of myself as short but I have been feeling this way since I lost weight recently. This is mostly around friends or if I am standing with a group of people. I think I might be noticing it now because I am losing weight so my appearance is not all about the weight anymore if that make sense.
Anyone else noticed this? Not sure if I am just being paranoid.

Maybe since there is less of you, you are now smaller overall - which makes you feel shorter? Like a perception thing - smaller = shorter, when in reality you're the same height as always but just feel smaller??

I'm 5'1, so pretty much everyone is taller than me. LOL However, I am very glad that I am taking up less space in the room now.

Yeah, it'll be 'cause you're feeling smaller, not just shorter. I'm 5'1 and about 2 stone overweight. I can't wait to feel tiny. haha.
