Weight is one of the few problems I haven’t struggled with, in my life full of struggle. I guess there is always something we struggle with. Being a “normal size” person means that I am invisible. When I walk in the mall, no one sees me. Is that a good thing? In a way it is, bc it gives one freedom that comes with being ignored and overlooked. No expectations = no pressure. I can walk in peace inside the invisibility cloak which is nice. That said, I’ve never understood why we are so obsessed with other peoples’ looks. Why cannot we just live and let live.
I love this spiritual take on fat privilege: the ability to see things that others can’t see. Thanks for this!
Thanks! :)

Yes, it’s a blessing and a curse. Sending love and solidarity ❤️
