Petite-ness and Chiari?

Im curious, I read several places that Chiari is more common in Petite females than any other. So Im wondering, are alot of us here petite? If even just in height? Im not asking for weight or anything. just wondering how many of us are petite? I am petite, 5'2 and under 120lbs. Would love to see...
Hope everyone is having a great day..
Mazie :)

5'3 and about 125lbs most my younger life, a little more now :s  I also have a very narrow nose and deviated septum. I am the tallest female in my family, lol, so I never felt petite, at all!

I have always added my 1/2 inch in there! Lol! I ws 4' 9" until I was a Junior in High School! I was terrified I was never gonna reach 5'! Lol! I could stand by my cousin's that were the same height as me when we were all younger and my legs started where their waists were! The pictures are so funny to look at we are all the same height but here I am with what looks like freakishly long legs! Lol!
@Mazie...I'm not the only runt on here! Is it sad to say I'm glad I'm not alone! Lol! They still pick me up at family reunions sometimes instead of leaning all the way down to hug my neck! LMBO! I have female cousins that are 6'4" the guys are 6'4" +!!!!!! Both my grandmothers were barely over 5'!!! but married tall men!! They were the runts in their families too! Lol!

Lucky you!  I used to be very skinny, off the charts; I miss it.  I never had much of an appetite until I had my laminectomy.  Since then I've gained 25 lb., had to buy all new pants.  Gee, thanks Dr. Rosner!

Lol I eat lots of icecream.. I can even eat an entire large pizza by myself ha. I don't know it's frustrating. At work they call me green bean Lmao. Because my smock/coat for my lead job is green and I'm tall and skinny. The new doctor in my PCP office asked me if I was anorexic which really set my undies on fire lol.
