This is Thin Privilege: Thin privilege is being able to say medical reasons are behind your weight and not be criticized.

I have a hypothyroid ( a slow, hardly working thyroid) and it makes it very difficult to loose weight. The entire summer I biked, worked out and ate near the starvation mode of calories. I gained weight.

When I tell people it’s very difficult to lose weight due to my hypothyriodism people laugh…

I have this too and I used to take quadruple the amount of medication prescribed to me in hopes that I could make myself into one of those skinny, “I can eat whatever I want and not gain weight”, hyperthyroid people. Fucked my body up right good.

Am I bitter? You bet I fucking am.

The irony is, overmedicating hypothyroidism can cause weight gain too. I’m also Hypo, and I hate the way it’s treated like a joke condition because “LOL FAT DISEASE”
