Re: Live without

[(Anonymous)]

I lost 11 pounds last summer owing to lack of money for food. I was working, but not enough hours at the time to feed me. This was 11 pounds that I should not have lost; my clothes didn't fit me anymore, and I felt weaker and got tired more easily than I usually do, and everyone I knew told me I looked terrible and sick. (I started getting more hours that fall and put the weight back on, fortunately. I'm back to my normal weight now.)

On a related note, at the time I was having this problem I posted anon about it on a "get it off your cheat" kind of LJ comm I'm on, and about how I was worried about my health because of it, and since the comm had had a LOT of weight-related wank recently I said that this wasn't a "thin privilege" issue because I was legit GOING HUNGRY, and I got a bunch of people dogpiling me and completely bitching me out for not acknowledging my thin privilege and "admitting" that I had it so great for being thin. When some other posters tried to point out that I was on the verge of starving and couldn't help it, the thin-privilege people started yelling about how that was totally irrelevant because no matter WHY I was thin, it automatically meant that I had it better than fatter people and I needed to be humble about that. I don't even.

holy crap, that lj comm sounds crazy. I'm sorry you had to go through all that and then have people on the internet tell you you were privileged for it! yikes.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Holy shit, the type of clueless privileged people make me want to find their IP addresses, hunt them down, and break their kneecaps. Give them a little taste of what it feels like to be helpless. That sounds awful, I know, but people being so willfully ignorant like that is just as harmful as being in the situation in the first place.

I can commiserate. I got sick one summer and lost about 20 lbs because I couldn't eat (although ironically, we had a pretty good food supply at the time). But I didn't have health insurance or access to medical care, so I basically just had to come out of it by myself.

That's horrible. How anyone could see that as a matter of "thin privilege" is beyond me.

Seriously, anon. You really need to be more humble about not having money to buy food. There are people here who would KILL to be in your situation!

What a fucked-up comm. Are there people really so insecure about their weight that they go off on someone who literally cannot eat?
