“When you are short, 5 lbs weight gain looks like 20, pants don’t ever come in your length and petite clothes normally just don’t fit right.”

“When I was born, one of my legs was shorter than the other and my hip bones would not stay in place. The scars run the length of my hips on both sides. As a child, it was hard wearing shorts that would ex- pose the scars and face questions and laughs — kids can be really mean.”

“We are sisters and our bodies are short. We are both 5ft! Our height has been hard for the both of us to accept because, with the excep- tion of heels, we cannot fix or change it. It is difficult because it affects everything. When you are short, 5lbs weight gain looks like 20, pants don’t ever come in your length and petite clothes normally just don’t fit right ... we don’t know who they are standard for!”

“If I could speak with a younger me, I would tell her to love herself and to take care of the body God gave her by stay- ing active, eating lots of vegetables and speaking positively about herself. To not do anything that can cause height to be stunted in the future, including speaking negatively about myself. I would say there is a guy out there just waiting to marry a beautiful “shorty” like you.
