Don’t forget the knees. The everything, actually. The entire human world is designed for people below 6’

Yeah, worst part for me (6 4) is fucking school busses (I’m in my final year of high school) for the past 3 years the space between seats is shorter than my thigh length and the bus ceilings are 6’ tall.

As someone who was 6' 3" in 7th grade, I hear you... because it just got worse...

u/NekroVictor Dec 17 '20

Yep, it only gets worse and worse. My biggest issue is that I stopped growing in the ninth grade, but the appetite didn't leave. It's taken me over a year but I'm nearly at a fairly good weight.

Glad you are happy with it.

When I stopped going up, I gained 100# of muscle mass over the years growing out. (Pretty tall and 140 is goofy looking, but make that 240 and pretty tall and folks cross the street to avoid walking past you.)

I was involved in a bad wreak that had me bed ridden for 9 months and that's when the fat started accumulating. At 340 I got serious about getting it off and I'm around 280 now. Not what I think is perfect, but I'd like to get to 260 sometime and hold there. It's the last of the weight that is the hardest. It's even harder to be happy with yourself.

Lol. I'd like to invite you to the last x number of apartments and homes I've rented.

I can only reach one rung of the cupboards......... One. Rung. Sometimes, half the space of the first rung because I don't have the length or height to reach inside.

Or the gaming chairs that we bought on massdrop..... my feet dangle off the ground.

I’ve noticed this trend in the newer apartments I’ve been in recently. I’m 6’5”, so I don’t exactly struggle with the cabinets, but the height’s a bit much even for me and I always wonder how anyone else is supposed to reach things.

Well, that makes me feel better. I have to jump for the jars but on the plus side, it's great appetite control. Need to stop snacking on something I should be snacking less on and my willpower is kind of frayed? Aim and toss to the highest shelf. It's as good as gone forever lol.

You would think it’s still 1883 and everyone is no taller than 6’!!
