Thin privilege is never having a family “friend” say on a group outing, “I’ll buy everyone a soda, as long as S____’s is diet.
”Thin privilege is not having the 7th grade school nurse loudly state your name and weight of 204 lbs in 7th grade to the entire roomful of other girls during a scoliosis screening. No one else’s weight was called out, and no one else had to live with the agony of being called 204 for the next 6 months. 30 years have passed and I can instantly remember the shame of that moment.
Thin privilege is never having your grandfather put a padlock on the refrigerator door because “I love you.” This after he told your 8 year old, 165 pound self, that your weight would be just fine when you grew up, as long as you didn’t gain any more weight.
I still hurt for the girl that I was.
thats funny

Thin privilege is being able to feel upset about my diabetes diagnosis without the attacking inner voices telling me that it’s my fault and if I weren’t fat I wouldn’t have gotten diabetes. Because heredity counts for nothing, of course. Diabetes runs in my family, in people of all sizes.
I already have a messed up thyroid gland, now this. Wonderful. But of course it’s all my fault for being fat.

thin privilege is thinking you are gigantic whilst wearing a sz 10/12. thin privilege is not knowing for years that there are clothes being manufactured above a sz 20. thin privilege is my dad, years later, being amazed that there are actually clothes being made in a size 30 and above. (like wow, this is just two sizes bigger than i wear who would have thought they made clothes that big??)

Thin privilege is being able to see people of your own body type in Les Miserables. Like, really. It’s my favorite musical, but there was not one single even remotely overweight person in the whole movie.
(Tumblr Mod note: Not all people who are starving and/or food-insecure are thin. That’s incredibly ignorant, and a movie romanticization. Also, Madame Thénardier was specifically written to be fat and wasn’t in the movie. So the thin guys in particular who are mocking this, crawl back to Reddit and GTFO, seriously. -ArteToLife)

Before I turned 18, my mom took me to the same pediatric doctor every year for physicals. Every time I went in, the only thing she could comment on was my weight. I was always “a beautiful little girl” but I needed to lose weight. I was overweight, then obese, then morbidly obese. I know I was a chunky kid, but I wasn’t (and still am not) nearly as large as I could be. Looking at pictures from that time, I wasn’t even all that fat. But it didn’t matter. Fat is fat and that was all that mattered. I was always “otherwise perfectly healthy” but because I was fat, I wasn’t healthy enough.
She would always give my mom tips and suggestions and promptings to make me exercise more and eat less. When I was still in elementary school, before I’d even turned ten, my doctor suggested that my mother put locks on the doors of the refrigerator and pantry so I couldn’t overeat. Never mind that my mother didn’t even buy unhealthy food and that I’d already been conditioned to believe that taking food from the pantry without permission was something that I just wasn’t allowed to do. The only reason there were never locks was because it might put unfair restrictions on my three older siblings (one of whom was and still is fat).I never realized until I got to high school and stopped going to her office every year that she was the reason I had such low self esteem and such a fear of doctors. She always made me feel so guilty and ashamed about my weight, like it was my fault and I was a burden and that if only I wasn’t so fat I’d be good and popular and pretty like other thin girls. After a three year break, I went back to her office for the last time and I realized how happy I’d been in those three years; I hadn’t been constantly reminded that I was fat and ugly and a burden, and it had been wonderful. I was healing. And the instant I stepped back in that building it all disappeared. I will never forgive her for instilling in me such a hatred for myself and my own body and a fear of doctors who I will never be able to trust not to see me as a blob of fat. More than that, I hate that my mom saw all that and never said a word to the contrary. She never once thought it was okay for me to be fat. Even now, when I’m trying my hardest to be confident and love myself for who I am, all she comment on is how I “really need to lose some weight.” It just makes me wonder if, even if I manage to love myself, will the people around me ever see me as anything but fat?

Depends where you are. There's no standard sizing in Canada or the US, so a 0 is often too big for me. UK I'm a 4, and I'm fucking tiny so a 10 would be normal.

Go into a store and watch people buy meat. No one wants to look at fat or have to pay for it. Fat is not attractive. Put feet to pavement and eat lean.

Josh’s doctor told him he could die in his sleep because he’s fat and my boyfriend is crying right now telling me this because he(the doctor) has scared the shit out of him, and this is the ONLY time I’ve ever heard my boyfriend cry. I’m so beyond angry

I’m over fucking being told by family and doctors that the reason I’m experiencing certain things is because of my weight. Yes I’m fat, but not everything that is wrong with me is because I’m fat. The other day I went to the doctor for a rash, caused from breaking out from a new soap. And this little fuck had the nerve to suggest that I had the rash because I was fat. No, being fat doesn’t cause rashes. That’s not the way shit works. I’m also tired of people suggesting that my back pain is caused by my weight. It’s not.
But for real why the fuck do I get lectured about my diet and working out and health every time I go to the doctor. I’m not here for that.

people don’t believe that i weigh over 400 pounds because “wait, can’t you like, not walk at 400 pounds? i saw a show about a man who was so fat he couldn’t wear clothes and had to live in a bed. it was horrifying!” and i have found that like, size 30, 400 pounds, suddenly that’s where “fat acceptance” stops for some people. lane bryant stores only carry up to size 28, so clearly that’s the end of the human size spectrum. suddenly, when you’re Really Big, you start hearing “well, i mean, if you’re like, really severely obese you should do something about it, that’s just not right” etc etc from people that start their sentences with “now, i’m all for fat acceptance but...”
i love that fat acceptance has resonated with smaller fats and inbetweenies and thin folks, but again, there is not a cut-off point for fat acceptance and activism. there shouldn’t be some magic size where you’re just too big to include or accept or listen to. the difference between a size 0, a size 6, a size 14, a size 22, and a size 30 or higher can be hard to fathom for people who just aren’t on the larger side of the spectrum. i see lists of all these ~amazing~ stores with plus size sections that all cut off at a size 24/26, and i’m left wondering what exactly i’m supposed to do with that. yay, you carry a wider range of sizes, boo, you still expect me to go naked or...not exist.
