1. I'm 19 and 5'2" can I make myself grow taller(w/o surgery)? I'd like to be 2-4 inches taller. (I hate having to hem up every pair of pants I buy).
2. Can I make my eyesight better (w/o surgery)? Contacts didn't work for me and I hate glasses.
Oh hell, as long as I'm asking questions, does anyone know of anything that's OTC that'll get rid of my zits and blackheads fast and give me that I've-never-had-a-zit-in-my-life skin?

I'm just asking because hopefully I'll be starting an office job in six months and I want to look absolutly wonderful. Just about everyone in offices is wonderfully groomed and I'd like to feel as though I'd fit in. And zits are so unprofessional looking.

does this place really cares how your hight & wether you wear glasses or not?

Emancipation88 said:

probably not, but I'd like to feel like I project the best image possible.

LaCoyta said:

1. Take a hint from good ol' Prince. Wear heels.

2. Ummmmm, can't have good eyesight without contacts, glasses, or surgery.

3. The zit thingie, start using a good system on your face (cleanser, toner, and moisturizer), and get a few facials.

Anything else?

Don't be too concerned with the little things that people don't really notice. If they notice those kind of things, they're not worth being involved with.

LaCoyta said:

Well then if you MUST have to be taller & have correct eye slight (without wearing glasses & contacts) the only way is surgery.

Although you could were wear high heel?

Both surgeries are expensive and risky and the leg one takes a year to recover from.

LaCoyta said:

You DON'T WANT that leg lengthening procedure. I don't think you'd qualify anyway.

gemini13 said:

Probably not. I saw them do the procedure on Ripley's Believe It or Not. It is definatly not something I'd want.

u should read this

I'd like to be taller for me so I wouldn't have to concern myself with shortening my pants and so that I wouldn't be 5-10lbs overweight. The rest would be all good side effects.

Just dress nice. Don't change yourself be happy with what you got. Everyone is special in his/her own way. Start loving yourself first. Be confident at your new job.

I intend to dress perfectly (like the people in Lucky magazine). I always feel uncomfortable in groups and hope that becoming beautiful will make me less self conious. My soical skills are lacking so I need the boost that height, good eyesight, and clear skin would give me.

Have you tried Proactiv? I've had friends who use it and swear by it - it's over the counter, but a bit pricey. However, prescription stuff has worked wonders for me (ask anyone who's ever met me, lol) - I've used erythromyocin (sp?) and am currently using clindomyocin. My insurance covered both so it only costs $10 a pop and lasts months.

Anywho, LaCoyta, I know you've been told this time and time again but you should start working on the inside as well... don't neglect it...

Be yourself!! Work on getting to know who you really are, what do you really want for yourself (not what others expect from you).
You are the one that is most important to yourself, without yourself, you wouldn't even live, so take better care of yourself. The only way to do that is to get to know yourself and make sure you feel good about who you are.

For the pimples:
Watch what you're eating (not to much milk, chocolate, fried food 'n stuff), again take good care of yourself, don't stuff garbage inside your mouth, you're not worth ruining, you're the one that has to take care of your own body, don't let anything get between you and you're body (like anger and guilt that can make you stuff your face with the wrong kind of food). It's not worth it, it doesn't help, it only makes you feel worse.

Make sure you get lots of fresh air, at least 1 hour of bright daylight (so keep your head up while you're outside) and if you can, walk or take the bicycle, don't get in a car to much. Forget all the other things for a moment and you'll notice you feel better within a few days already.

I over did it just a little I think hope you can see this is from a good hart, you'll be fine, don't worry to much about your image

LaCoyta said:

1. I just received an email that promises to add 2-4 inches!! It's a pump of some kind, maybe they'll have one big enough and you can fit your whole body inside! I'll forward it to you.

2. Eat more carrots.

Zits. Eat less carrots. Bad for your skin.

Hope this helps.

I reccomend using a sandblaster for those zits.

IAmTheTouch said:

Where do I find these exercises? I don't eat meat. The idea never appealed to me.

If I ate healthier could I have the growth spurt I want?
Whatever zit stuff I buy has to be really cheap because I only make $450 a month

LaCoyta said:

"what do you mean, you don't eat no meat?!"

i have a question lacoyta

how come u only post on your own threads ?
dont u think if u interacted with people properly
it would increase your self confidence
and then u might realise u dont need to be tall
or be pretty
you have this grass is greener on the other side thang going on
stop creating threads and start interacting with people
after time u will make friends
instead of trying to use people as a crux all the time for your insecurities

IAmTheTouch said:

and I think Windex works on zits too, right?

Wouldn't it just be easier to use that ray gun from the movie "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" and make everyone else smaller? This way you would look taller.

I'm just thinking out loud here...

summerdawn said:

Once in awhile I post on other threads. But I feel that my opinion isn't that insteresting.
I do wish I knew what it was like to be one of the beautiful ones. I just want to start a new job as the person I've always dreamed of being.
