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 🐻

But do you miss out on classy clothes as they don't come in your size?

@mathsman Yes, I do miss out on some things, but I am good at needlework and I can adjust clothes to fit me 🐻

[@That's good to hear. But maybe there are also up-market clothes shops for children where you could find garments for you.

@mathsman I have quite specific tastes. I like wearing 1950s fashion, for example. My girlfriend is doing an apprenticeship in fashion design, so between us we can make nice things.

@TammieBear Sounds good, though I'm not a fan of 50s fashion.
