Ut oh.. saw my doc

So I go to my doctor yesterday and for some reason I asked to see how tall I was. I have always thought I was 5'5 (or close to it). so I do the measurement and I am only 5'4'1/4. That means I gonna need to loose an addition 5 pounds to be in my idea weight range. I am so sad now... All these years thinking I am of average height and now to find out I am shorter.... Us shorter people know what I mean. I've always been proud to say I am 5'5'.. It feels weird to say I am 5'4. To make matter worse I was seeing the doc because I am experiencing a lot of pain in my butt area... and I have psoriasis showing up there. So she gives me an order for some cream to use for the rash and than she hits me with. Well, the reason your butt hurts so much is you have no padding. Your bottom is bruised. You need to find a nice big cushion and sit on it... than she says you need to do butt exercises to tighten your butt muscles up. What... I say.. I have a bruised butt.. how can that be.. So now.. in the matter of an hour.. I have discovered that I am short and have no butt... At least she put on the chart that I may need ps for the excess skin I have on my butt and tummy which is causing my rash... hmmm... guess it was worth it.. Elevator shoes here I come but I will take the stairs for the butt exercise.

Think about the fat on your feet and head *lmbo* it had to go somewhere. hahahaha I've had people tell me I look shorter now that I've lost weight. So I'm probably about 5'4" now too instead of 5'5". Mandy

Im sorry but I cant stop laughing, " Im short and I have no butt".... I went to my dr last week and they measured me at 5'8" - Ive NEVER been that short -I was 5'9" and I cant believe I lost an inch. I made her do it twice because I thought she messed up!! Ooohh, the things we learn about ourselves....

yeah yeah yeah you guys keep up your whining and sniveling about being 5'5/5'4 try to fathom what happens when you start at 4'10 for cripes sake i've got people asking me if i'm lost in the mall and do i need help finding my mom! Good night nurse i'm going to be auditioning for the broadway produciton of the Wizard of Oz soon and NOT as Dorothy as i'd hoped (or the wicked ***** from the east) but as one of the munchkins. Have a great day, ANDI

Roflmbo... opps I dont have a butt. maybe thats what happened.. come here little kid... want some candy

Maybe we should all re-measure our height and see if we have all lost inches that way. It would be interesting to know. I'll go and put a post on about it so more people might join in............

I am 5 4 and 1/2 (I will take the 1/2) My doc wants me at 130 and 125 (after plastic surgery)

I had always been told I was 5'4 until about a year and a half ago. Doc said I was 5'2. Hope I don't get any shorter.

This is hilarious!!! Reading all the posts. I USED to be 5"4" - Have been for years and now all of a sudden - They tell me I am only 5'3". Glad to hear - I am not the only one with this problem!!
