It's a topic that I need a bit of closure on. Here are some facts about me:

-My dad is 5'7 and my mum is 5'0.
-I was a tiny baby. Doctors projected my height at birth to be 5'2
-I was a glutton from an early age and ate everything in sight. Was always a bit overweight
-one summer when I was nearly 15, I got insecure about my weight and started to diet. I dieted pretty hard for 2 months up until my fifteenth birthday. I'm talking sometimes 1000 calories a day.
-by the time school started 2 months later, I continued to eat normally.
-Grew to 5'8, even though my proportions (arms and frame) could easily be that of a 5'6 or 5'7 guy. Like, from a distance I look 5'6, but up close people are even surprised that I am 5'8 and a bit.

My bone age chart when I was 14 (before I started dieting) said I would be 175cm, and the lentth of my lower arm (wrist to elbow) suggests the MAXIMUM height I could've been is 176cm. I am 173cm

-My sister is 5'2 as an adult

So just tell me objectively, did I stunt my growth by that 2 months dieting, or did I do well overall?

My grandfathers were 5'4 and 5'6 as well
Grandmothers 5'3 and 5'0

Quote from: Sibirskiy on December 25, 2020, 04:34:34 AMObjectively, no. Cause ur taller than everyone in ur family. If u had a brother u can compare ur height to him and if u were shorter than him  then there would be strength to the argument of your growth being stunted. 

Either way, if you want to do LL then just do it. No point justifying the surgery to yourself. Just ask yourself, and answer yourself objectively: do I want to get taller and am I willing to undergo surgery for this. Hope this helps


Holy sh*t you went from 5'9 to 6?

How is the difference in how women treat you? Must be awesome
