There's a grain of truth in that, in the sense that we're all constructed uniquely, and that includes how, where, and how much body fat, muscle, bone density, and all that get put together.

Making peace with what you were born with is a lifelong process, IMHO.

Enjoy the day.



It IS just like that joke (good one). It wasn't a thought that caused me any particular angst, though, just the occasional "Oh (sigh) wouldn't it have been CONVENIENT if I were a few inches taller?"

I do know that once I've lost these physically painful 50 pounds I've put on most recently, I'll be able to ENJOY my (perfectly acceptable) height a whole lot more.
