I’m 22 years old and I’m 5’5 and I hate it. The thing is, I wasn’t even meant to be 5’5. How do I know this? Well, I basically starved myself from the ages of 12 to 14. The reason for this is because I had severe social anxiety, and because of this I was too scared to eat lunch at school. So I skipped lunch for 2 whole years. I only ate breakfast and dinner at home from the ages of 12 to 14. I was basically fasting for two years. And you all know that growth occurs the most during your teenage years.
What if I had actually ate lunch during those two years? Then I’m 100% sure that I would’ve been atleast 5’7 today. Or maybe even 5’8 which is my dream height. People might say that I was supposed to be 5’5 due to genetics. But diet plays an important role as well. Yes, both of my parents are shorter than me. But I have an older brother who is 5’8.
I have so much anxiety about my height that I’ve been having thoughts about wanting to travel to Turkey and get a leg lenghtening surgery. What they do is that they break the bone and use a device to pull the bones apart, so that the bones grow back longer. It is extremely painful and also expensive. Too bad it’s illegal in my country so I have to go abroad to be able to do it.
I’ve tried temporary solutions such as wearing shoes with platforms. But those are just temporary solutions. I want a permanent solution. I want to be the height I was meant to be. I’m a freaking dwarf. I’m below average height in my country. I’m either the same height or shorter than the majority of girls here.
