<p>Yeah, I’m 5’2’’ as well, so I feel your pain. 
It really sucks - but fortunately, the taping allows people to be over the weight ‘limit’, while still making sure they are fit. Again, so many of the girls around here have to get taped, so while it’s a good idea to watch what you eat and all that regardless, weight shouldn’t be a major concern. Still, if West Point says you need to lose the weight to get in, then (speaking from experience) make sure you do it, and then you’ll be good to go.</p>
