When i was 14 i use to fast for 3 days a week for 9 months. i went from obese to a healthy weight losing 30kg. would this have stunted my growth?

Growth: It is possible that your 3 days a week for 9 months slowed down your height and weight, but you more than likely have grown at least a bit. Relax and enjoy. PS; I left England when I was three and lived in Sydney till I finished Med School,and College including 4 years post graduate. I moved to America and have been in Michigan since 1976 and still working and enjoying. Still missing Sydney!
