Ok...I'm an overweight chick. Really overweight. Thing is: I know I'm unhealthy and am trying to change. My problem is: people, like the person running TiTP. The people who don't help themselves, and shame others who have. Sorry, but I'm not gonna feel sorry for myself because of my lack of control around food. I am gonna hold myself accountable, instead of blaming everyone/everything else around me for my misery. Got a problem? Take your shit attitudes up with me. I fucking dare ya.

You have 99.999999% of the internet and the real world pushing dieting and validating/encouraging dieters at every step.

Then there’s fat activism, and This is Thin Privilege.

By advocating for fat people we are not

1) shaming people who are either thin or want to become thin

2) even capable of shaming people like you. Did I mention that people who support you are the 99.999999% We have virtually no social power.

If, by talking about how thinness is unduly privileged (as it has nothing to do with someone’s personal or moral character and everything to do with a cultural trend) you feel guilty or bad for trying to grub yourself some of that sweet sweet privilege, I really don’t fucking care.

News at 7: The internet does not revolve around you.
