I'm Small

I am 4'10" (about 1.47m) and I currently weigh about 6st 9lbs (about 42kg). This is healthy for my height and age, but I had to put on over a stone after an operation earlier this year when I was under-weight.

I wish I was bigger, because then people might take me more seriously 😕 But I have to make do with what I have and most of the time I am comfortable in my body.

The best thing about being small is that it makes me a better gymnast. I can also still fit into children's sized clothes, which are cheaper and more brightly coloured than adult ones 🐻

What operation, if I may ask? Are you a gymnast?

TammieBear · 22-25, F

@SoggedNapped I had a benign tumour removed from my ovaries. I coach gymnastics as part of the scholarship I have at my boarding school.

@TammieBear Sorry about the operation.. Can you have kids some day? How is boarding school ? Fav gymnast move?

TammieBear · 22-25, F

@SoggedNapped I hope so, I am much better now than I was at the start of the year. I love boarding school 😌 I do best on the bars, but I am also a dancer so I love making up floor routines.

awesome...... when was your last meet? what are you doing after school? College?

TammieBear · 22-25, F

@SoggedNapped I have not done competitions for a couple of years, I was concentrating on getting my coaching award. I want to study languages at college and then become a diplomat.

@TammieBear Nice!! Sounds like lovely goals.. why the 1950s designs?

TammieBear · 22-25, F

The designs are bright, colourful and fun 🙂 And this was the era when my grandmother became an independent woman:
