Being short and overweight is difficult. Its hard to look at others progress and you see all these people that weigh the same but are a few inches taller and look great. Can other short people relate?

    I'm 5'2 and I'll add you. I know how you feel. I am married to a man whose 6'6 I really feel short and big around him, even though I know I'm working on bettering that.

    I'm 5'4, its really hard to be my size. I was very active in High School but as soon as i got out i put on way to much weight due to an injury. My boyfirend who is 6'4, god bless him, is a gym rat and tries to motivate me but he doesn't know i just feel more self conscious about myself. I used t have a very active job but i had to quit because of the manager. Now all i do is sit a desk all day. I could really use some help and motivation.

    Hi,
    I'm 5'4" and know how you feel. I have a cousin who is maybe 5'6", 5'7" and she is about the same jean size (14-16) and she looks great and I look short and pudgy!

    I'm 5'0" and it's very hard. I'm at my goal weight right now... but my belly is still pudgy!! If I was a few inches taller, I don't think I would have that problem! LOL!

    I'm 5'2" and feel like I carry all my weight in my belly. I have a younger sister that is 5'10" who wears maybe a 10 and looks skinny as all get out. I wear an 8 and look pudgy.

    Co-workers who r my height I think look bigger then me
