Thin privilege is not bemoaning to your mother that you can’t afford the hair color change you really want right now and how you are currently having self esteem issues and having her suggest that more exercise would be a cheaper/better alternative.

I hate that. Whenever I suggest that I’m trying to feel better about myself and want a solution that helps me feel better with the body I have, she always suggests losing weight. And I get that she’s fat herself and has struggled her whole life with self esteem. And I get that weighing less makes her feel happier. But I wish she wouldn’t force her issues on me because I don’t want to feel the same way she does. I want to be happy with being fat, and she makes it really hard. Plus, my health issues mean that exercising isn’t as easy for me as it is for her.
