Their entire mood or state for the day can be determined and dependent on the number they see on the scale. Women have been known to even develop panic attacks before and after stepping on the bathroom scale and seeing the number that pops up.
Some women are absolutely scared to death to step on a scale in their bathroom for fear that their boyfriend or husband might come by and see how much they really weigh. Just the same things is true for many women about their weight. For some people their height is a very personal thing, which they don’t want to reveal or share with others. For most people who you meet in life, they won’t care what your height is. If you are just a few millimeters below 5′ 10″ which is supposed to be the US male average, you might not want to claim you are 5′ 10″. The thing I wanted to say in this post was that with different positions and postures, your measured height will change. If you are one of those types of people who had a perfectionist attitude, you might want your height down to the nearest millimeter. What you might have thought was a slight height increase was really from a different standing position. Especially when you are on some program or routine where you are trying to increase your height, you want to be very accurate and exact in your methodology for measuring your height. When you are getting measured for height, most of you want the nurse, (or your mother) to make as accurate of a measurement as they possibly can. I personally know that from a quick shift in posture or positioning of one’s standing or feet, ones height can deviate by as much as 0.5 of an inch. One of the easiest ways to make the mistake in thinking one is shorter than what we really are is because we have not been standing or using the right posture when we are getting our heights measured. Sometimes we might be taller than we really are and we don’t realize it.
