[tw: child abuse, bad medical advice, starvation diet]

Thin privilege is not getting a note from your school nurse on your end-of-year report saying you are too fat and that your school uniforms don’t come in sizes big enough for your fat body.

Thin privilege is not being put on a starvation diet at age 14 just so you can fit into your school uniform. Instead of altering my school uniform pants to fit me, my mom made me go on a severe diet. Examples of meals- breakfast: only ¼ of a grapefruit. lunch: cottage cheese with celery, etc..

Thin privilege is not having your entire family resent you because your mom forced the whole family to participate in your new “healthy diet.”

Mod note: It’s come to my attention that this is probably from Harry Potter? See my response, here. -ATL
