I've been 5'11" since I was 12!!! Guess that's the reason the guys my age never appealed to me...lol...weight, too, has always been a struggle for me...I can't remember the number of diets I went on only to have my Mom and Grandmom tell me that I could carry the extra weight because I was tall...now I'm 60 yrs. young, and with 40 extra pounds, I know everyday just how wrong they are :)
