Glad you enjoyed the post! I had to write it to call shennanigans…on myself, hahaha. Now that we know about it I propose a day of cheeseburgers!

Never stop making the best of life. If anyone gives you a hard time, just call me and I’ll throw hamburgers through their window…the kind with the secret sauce that gives people the shits.

Thanks for reading. I know EXACTLY how you feel because I used to think the exact same way. You know what? Life’s too short—you might not be a size x but you are alive. Sometimes we have to start changing our attitude and perception of ourselves before we change anything else. Being skinny isn’t everything; isn’t that great? Live your life to the fullest and if people don’t like it; too bad so sad for them; they’re missing out.

Yeah, thin privilege is incredibly real and prevailent. I felt bad for not being able to do anything about it since everytime I say something pointing it out the reaction is usually “…but you’re not fat! Why do you care?”

I’m really glad I was able to reach some people and others (like you) see it for what it is–a very serious matter that shames and dehumanizes people.

I was already in a habit of examining my privileges, but thanks for yet another excellent post reminding us how real privilege is, and how much it affects us all.

Juliet–Thank you very much for reading as well. As you can imagine, it was very hard to write. I’m glad you enjoyed it and that it moved you…I hope other people can have the courage to admit and condone thin privilege as well. (and I loves you too!)

Thank you for sharing that. It’s hard to feel beautiful when people treat you like a freak of nature.
