Tall Girls Unite! I’m just shy of 6 feet and feel the exact same way! I buy heels all the time, but never ever wear them because, like you said, I feel like a giant linebacker in them. And boys are toooo short!

this is so interesting because I always wished I were taller (I’m 5’4”) and thought if I were, I would carry my weight better. I guess it’s always what you don’t have!
I do feel like I carry my weight well, but sometimes I think that school of thought is a crutch too. For taller gals I think it’s harder to just accept seeing higher numbers than for shorter gals (for the most part) due to our frames.
I think it’s hard that I’ll never be dainty (and not that I want to be, but there are some fashions and other things that I’ll never be able to pull off). I also have an irrational fear that a guy will try to pick me and won’t be able to regardless of how much weight I lose…that thought has always terrified me, I never let people try even if they are big strong dudes.
Overall I honestly think height plays so much into body acceptance and fashion and we all struggled regardless of which end of the spectrum we’re on – darn those 5’6/5’7 girls who have life made 😉
