oh crikey yes i pity shorter people, i think that was why i got so huge without anyone really saying as much as they could do (im 5'6"). However my height challenged friend isnt much heavier than I and she looks as big as i did at 330lb! :O
Good luck anyway in your endevour - shorter girls always look so much cuter than taller girls (love that petite look .. i look more like an amazon woman!)
