Can I do anything to grow as an adult?
Hello. I was a large kid and hit my peak height of 5'8" when I was 13. I had a fat face and body. My family was poor, and I ate 1500 calories or less a day until 18. I also did not get much sleep because my father worked nights. I had trouble losing weight and stopped growing. I'm 28 and 5'7" now, and I am VERY depressed about my body size. I have small arms/wrists and small head. My dad is 6'4". Is there anything I can do to mature physically so late in life?
