Thin privilege is being able to do any kind of exercise and breathe how your body needs you to.

I usually walk a couple blocks to the nearby strip mall to grab lunch while I’m at work. I only have a limited amount of break time so I fast-walk there and back. Today I realized that I have trained myself to not breathe correctly when I break even a little bit of a sweat, and to control my breathing if anyone is on the elevator with me when I come back.

Thin privilege is not feeling that you need to put your body’s needs on hold so that you don’t look like a cliche of a panting fatty to strangers.
