My mother, sister, and I were all cooking together. Both my mother and sister are thin. I’m bigger, compared to them.

While my sister and I were cooking the same thing (a commonly fried dish), my mother suggested that she fry it and I bake it because it might help me “lose some weight”.

Thin privilege is being able to enjoy the same things as other people in your family.

Thin privilege is not being told that you need to lose weight.

Thin privilege is being able to cook the same way everyone else does.
