    Therapist wants me to accept myself at a bigger size

    Fitness advice for 5'2" female feeling stagnant

    @jessica50332 You look very good and are well proportioned without any noticeable bulk. In fact, just a reality check, I would not really look at your physique and guess that you lift.

    To the short torsoed and short waisted people - what are the upsides/benefits? Can only spot disadvantages rn..

    @xdxaxvxex Legs look decent in shorts? Idk, I'm in the same boat. Not the heartburn or pain issues, but disproportionately longer legs make many exercises harder (squats, anything grabbing/touching toes), and short waist makes me look dumpy even when not overweight.
