(Part 2) Top products from r/tall

The only book I can think of is called Don't Cry, Big Bird BUT I would ask you to preview it to see if you think it's acceptable because I don't remember all the details and I don't want to be held responsible for traumatizing your cousin!
From what I can remember, it's a picture book where Big Bird is very sad because he's too tall to join in games (jump ropes are too short, etc.). He's all sad about it, but then Mr. Snuffleupagus, who is also really big, says that he likes Big Bird's size. He helps Big Bird modify games (tying two jump ropes together) and eventually Big Bird likes his size and finds it useful-- he rescues his friend's kite from a tree when no one else can.
The reasons I can remember for not recommending this book wholeheartedly-- I believe they use the word "big" instead of "tall." It seems like a little thing, but for a girl who is already feeling self-conscious, it might not be the best choice of words. (And yes, no one should be ashamed of their body, regardless-- but I know that personally, when I was called "big" as an underweight but tall preteen, it stung.)

Another resource-- not specifically for tall girls, but adhering to the theme of loving yourself for who you are-- I found this list of "Positive Princess" books really helpful when I started nannying for a very appearances-centered kindergartener. She loves princess books, but a lot of them weren't sending a very positive message. These princess books focus more on having a healthy view of yourself rather than idolizing some airbrushed "Princess" character. I haven't read all of these, but Jane Yolen's and Heidi Stemple's Not All Princesses Dress in Pink is phenomenal.

More awesome picture books celebrating differences and diversity (Amazon has most of these for less than $3 used, and they're mostly popular enough that I would think your library would have them):
It's Okay to be Different
What I Like About Me
I Like Myself!

To take a different approach-- I know this sounds shallow, but when I was still growing and way more self-conscious about my height, I LOVED the fact that Nicole Kidman was (well, is) 5'11" (I was obsessed with Moulin Rouge). I ordinarily do not care about celebrity...stuff, but I thought it was so awesome that she was the same height as I was! Depending on what your cousin's interested in, consider showing her some pictures of tall girls to boost her confidence. For example, if she's familiar with the President's family, Michelle, Malia, and Sasha Obama are all quite tall (Michelle and Malia are both 5'11", and Malia's only 14!) The Obama girls are gorgeous and stylin, and I know I would have loved to see photos of tall younger girls when I was a kid (as opposed to tall women). Hell yeah, tall first family!
5 is too young for The Hunger Games, but Jennifer Lawrence is 5'9 and taller than her costar. She also seems to have a fairly positive view of health/body image as well.
There are a lot of tall women in the media-- Queen Latifah and Tyra Banks are 5'10, Taylor Swift (if she's into her music) and Karen Gillan (I love Doctor Who too much to not include her) are 5'11... and that's just a start! Look at Olympic athletes (Missy Franklin is only 18, 6'1, and a 4-time gold medalist) for other tall role models!

But at the end of the day, more than any books or media, you are the one who will have the most positive impact on your cousin! Make sure to talk about your own height in a positive manner, don't set a bad example by saying anything negative about your own body (or anyone else's), and be sure to mention how much you like being tall when you're around your cousin. I outgrew my mom, sister, aunts, uncles, and all my male and female cousins as a kid-- I would have loved to have a role model like you! Your own personal relationship with your cousin will be by far the most powerful and long-lasting influence on her self image.

Hey there, fellow 6'4" shorty here. I weight in at 175 pounds currently, was 270ish at my heaviest and I've kept the weight off for years.

Basically when I met my wife, I was already down to about 250 from being in college. Walking around campus was my first kick in the butt on laziness. Took jogging class in college for 2 years because for the longest time I wouldn't do it on my own. Finally got in the habit of doing it on my own. By about 2007-2008 I was constantly around 215 pounds, stayed that way until about 2013. Started running 3x per week, 6 miles at a time (basically 1 hour). I was doing no other exercise. Also in 2010 I started eating Vegan (eliminated all my BP medicines).

From running and a cleaner diet (whole foods, lots of veggies and fruits), got down to about 190. Started intermittent fasting schedule, eating only 12pm to 5pm so lunch and dinner. Weight still pretty steady, but the strict eating window allows me excellent control on my snacking, really helped me mentally, so went from 190ish to 175 from 09/15 to present day.

FYI, I would follow Ray Cronise on Twitter, he is great at responding to you. He is the one that helped Penn Jillette (book Pretso) loose like 100 pounds. Some great podcasts with him out there as well if you are interested.

Hoping I didn't leave this too late.

My wife bought me this book a few years ago. It's perfect 'for Daddy from the Baby' gift. The book is actually a decent baby board book as well.

This page is what makes it tall friendly.

Having a proper sharp knife makes cooking a lot more fun.

Both excellent:

Inexpensive

Stop drinking blue drinks, try a red one instead. (You say "4+ drinks in an hour due to my body mass" but you don't list what the drinks are or your body mass.)

I would be careful here if you're intending to drive, you might be way drunker than you think. You aren't literally double the body mass of the DMV example sheet. If you're cabbing/walking/stumbling it knock yourself out.

Now onto the meat: Stop drinking over priced watered down crap. I don't know where you are that has $7.50 drinks which don't get you drunk, but I bet they aren't shots or are poured for "show" (under poured) vs measured. Watch videos on how to mix a drink, compare it to how your bartenders are mixing their drinks. Count their pours if they are freehanding it with a pourer in the bottle. Also get out of the well, try drinking "call" level drinks.

Experiment at home! Alone! In the dark! (Or you know, don't be an alcoholic about it.) Don't like straight liquor even though you aren't drinking the well? Figure out what you like. Classic cocktails are very high in alcohol content but don't taste like it. An Old Fashioned is mostly whiskey with some bitters, sugar, and orange rind for taste. Margaritas are >50% tequila by volume, the only non-alcoholic ingredient in a martini is the ice and garnish. Measure your pours and see what actually tastes good.

To answer your direct question? Jameson, or Herradura, or tall bottle cask strength bourbon, or tanqueray and tonics, or wild turkey, or wild turkey old fashioned, or Jameson Mule.

I don't know why her footwear matters to you....but if it's for a specific reason, maybe ask her to read [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Frenched-1-Melanie-Harlow/dp/1496129628/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1472839846&sr=8-1&keywords=frenched+melanie+harlow) and tell her you want to act out a few scenes with her since the heels were a thing. And they weren't far in height from each other. I think it's a free download on Kindle.

And also follow u/GreyMountainRider's advice.

I read once that tall people are given more personal space by strangers. I think it came from Survival of the Prettiest: The Science of Beauty.

I use a dish pan and put it on top my cutting board with a towel in between. Raises it up high enough so I don't really have to bend much.

That's not what I expected it to look like...interesting that his family would keep a museum elsewhere. The book I read was Tesla: Man Out of Time.

must be cousins with this tree.

How about these - http://www.amazon.com/WMF-5-Piece-Stainless-Flatware-Service/dp/B00007HULA . The reviews say they are very long and much larger than normal. "The knife measures 9-1/2 inches in length, and the fork and soup spoon measure 9 inches"

I found this and this and this.

Don't use clips, as they will cause fabric damage. Use something like this:

You are trying to solve a problem that has already been solved

I have this and it is huge. Bought it Friday December 12, 2008 (love that amazon history) and it still looks new, although I don't use it every day. The only problem is that there are so many pockets and compartments it is possible to lose thing in it.

Ok, I'll jump in a little on this debate here. As an adult of around 23, I was slightly over 6' and 155 lbs. I decided I wanted to put on muscle. doing pretty much only squats, benches, pullups and barbell curls I got myself up to 205lbs in 7 months. At my maximum, I had a bench press of 295 lbs (5 pounds away from 300! grrrr!!! btw, not those benches where you curl your back like a cobra and you have like 2" of movement!), a deadlift of 425 lbs and a squat of 365 lbs at a body weight around 210-215 lbs. At my heaviest I was 230 lbs but at that point I was putting on too much fat so I've dropped down to the 205 lbs I am today.

I can only talk for myself and YMMV, but for me, isolation movements are a waste of time. If you're a genetically average person and not your typical physical freak, isolation movements won't do much for you. I went from 16 years of age until about 23 putting on maybe...0 lbs!!! I finally read Super Squats and let's just say my sister, who didn't see me while I was putting on my weight, did a double take when she came by.

Now again, YMMV, but I spent years reading the muscle magazines and getting advice (from people taking steroids). For me (and you may be different), working out with the heaviest weights I could (and constantly pushing them upward), doing only the basic compound movements (squats, deadlifts, benches, pullups) and working out much, MUCH less was the key. I honestly would never work out more than two days a week, sometimes only one. Again, not looking to get into a "bro, wtf are you talking about" contest. Just mentioning what did and did not work for me. Isolation stuff? Cable pull downs? Preacher curls? Hack extensions? I did that stuff for years and years and years and got nothing for it size-wise. I also took creatine and slowly increased my calories (maybe upped it by 250 calories or so every 3 weeks? I don't remember, but I did it slowly).

Edit: for those who didn't know what I meant about the "curl your back like a cobra" bench presses, this is an example. To me there's so little movement after you contort your body like this that it's almost no longer a bench press.

Based on my own experience, it sounds to me like the problem is more with body image issues and/or depression than it is your actual body.

Obesity is known to increase risk of depression. That can be really really shitty, because depression tends to either cause complete lack of appetite, or compulsive eating. If it manifests with the latter, it ends of being a vicious cycle of eating because you're depressed, and being depressed because of obesity.

My weight has been fluctuating quite a bit the past few years. What I've found is that my general body image depends both on weight loss and on my mental state. First time I was successful with weight loss, I hadn't done anything to treat my depression. Even though I'd lost an amount of weight to be proud of, I still hated myself. About a year later I started treating my depression, which in turn made it easier to lose weight, which in turn made it easier to get past my depression, and so on. It was that vicious cycle but in reverse. I ended up getting to the same weight I'd dropped down to a year before, but this time I felt really great about myself. For the first time in my life, I felt that I had a normal height-weight ratio. And again, that was at the same weight that a year before I still felt shitty about my body.

I ended up stopping with the antidepressants. That, in combination with a lot of stress, brought back both the depression and weight. I'm back on antidepressants, but this time around I didn't really focus much on weight loss; most of my focus went toward school and not killing myself. And even though the depressive symptoms have gone away, I still feel like shit about my body because, well, I'm still heavy. And it hurts more knowing that I used to not be so heavy and I felt so good about myself.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that you won't start feeling good about yourself just from weight loss, nor just from treating your brain problems. You need to do both. See a doctor about depression if that's the case for you, and see a therapist about other things. I've learned that antidepressants will take care of the depressive symptoms, but therapy is still important for taking care of low self-image. If your body image was strictly tied to your weight, then you wouldn't still have body image issues; there's something else going on in your case.

One last thing to note. The BMI scale, while accurate for looking at large groups of people and for average people, is less reliable for those at either end of the bell curve. A lot of the time, that extra height leads to more lean mass. You've got a higher center of gravity, so simple things like walking or even just staying balanced while standing require more energy and muscle. BMI can work as a rough guide, but when judging yourself you may want to look more into body composition. Maybe consider picking up one of these. I used one a while back and with some math found that my lean mass was 199.8 lbs. In other words, it'd be impossible for me to go under 200 lbs without losing lean mass as well. So doing a bit more math, with my height at 6'4" and with 199.8 lbs lean mass, an average body fat percentage (19% for men) would put me at 246.7 lbs. That would put me at a 30.0 BMI, qualifying as obese despite having an average percent body fat.
