I'm in my 50's. Let me tell you about my thin privilege. (Fats lurking here, read this) Thin privilege is avoiding the consequences of being fat.  However you want to define thin privilege, you fatties think I have it.  this is a long post, it could be much longer.  You fatties reading this, consider this list a warning or a taunt, doesn't matter. 1) I am alive Do you know any fatty that died of being fat?  You will.  I still have so called privilege compared to fatties that lived to be my age  2) My knees don't hurt Fatties will tell you painful knees and joints are part of getting older.  For a fatty, older is about 35.  I tell you knees should last a lifetime.  If you do have arthritis or a knee injury that did not heal 100%, an extra 150 or 100 or even 25 extra pounds will make your knee problems worse. 3) I can stand up and sit down without groaning Everything is diffulcult for the fat. 4) I can go to a baseball game That is, I can walk across a large parking lot, or to and from public transit, (day games, I don't want to drive), I can walk up and own long ramps and stairways without being out of breath.  I can sit comfortably in the seats.  I have a neighbor.  He is a huge baseball fan, literally and figuratively.  He has not gone to a game in 3 years.  Let's say you don't like baseball.  My point is fats miss many activities they could enjoy. 4) I was accused of taking steroids In a strange way, it was a complement.  Fats think what shoul be average is luck or cheating. 5)  I go on century rides Bicycles clubs sponsor events where bicycles riders gather early in the morning go for a 100 mile ride with three or four rest breaks and have a picnic in the starting area.  Such rides are not races,  everyone rides at his or her own pace.  I have a fat co-worker who did not believe I could ride a bicycle 100 miles in a day because she thought no one in the world could ride a bicycle 100 miles in a day. 6) I'm amazed anyone is amazed with my health. When I was younger, my physical ability was average.  There is no reason for me to be more than average now.  Compared to most of my freinds my age, I'm like an Olympic athlete.
