This privilege is not counting as a threesome all by yourself.

They call weighing less than 200lbs being in Onederland, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's an Obeast that would be proud to say they're a threesome.

Thin privilege is knowing "you carry your weight well" is actually an insult.

Eh. Carrying your weight well is a thing. I would point to someone like Jenifer Lawrence as someone who is probably closer to an overweight BMI than she looks because she does carry it well. There are thin people who carry it badly too like being 21-22 BMI and having a pot belly. Sometimes genetics suck for real. Of course it all becomes irrelevant once fat status has been achieved.
What I find funny about "you carry your weight well" regarding large fats is that it can only mean they are so fat that this is the closest thing to a compliment the person could come up with. Things like that and, "you have a pretty face" just scream to me that the subject is so horribly and grotesquely fat in every way and the sympathiser is trying desperately to find anything that's not, "wow, you're really fat."
But not to diminish your point. Thin people don't get told they carry their weight well because one can easily find actually attractive things to compliment. Instead of disgust in disguise, you can just tell a thin person, "hey, you look great."

I almost think it's a curse in disguise to "carry it well" your joints and heart and cholesterol don't care how well you carry it. Maybe if you didn't carry it "well" you wouldn't be carrying it at all.
Oh well who am i kidding? Fatties would eat until their heart explodes. Addiction is painful to watch.

This is true, I have seen guys with BMI 20 that had moobs. That's the main reason to avoid getting fatter: you never know where fat tissue is going to accumulate first.

Oh jeeze, thanks for reminding me of that part of high school. 6'4, 140lbs, thin as a rail and goddamn moobs. More motivation to never get fat. I've got got the recipe for moobs hiding somewhere in my DNA.

"Carries her weight well" to me means they found a bra strong enough to hide how bad they sag and they can still walk without a limp, maybe even a bit of a strut (or a limp well disguised as a strut). The fact is, the weight's still there, that bra's going to fail soon, and people need to clear the area before all that elevated adipose comes crashing down.

Being told this, the first and only time, was what made me go back to a normal weight before I got too fat.
[–] Raxaephont 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I've seen that before with me. I'm a 6'3 guy that is about 185 pounds but whenever people guess my weight is usually from 140-160. People do carry their weight differently, but most of the times, the fatties have corsets, shapers, and special pants that try to hide and give some shape to the plastic bag filled with pudding that is their body, giving the illusion they can pass for someone lighter. No fatty, just because a larger portion of your excess fat is on your ass and hips, doesnt mean you carry it well.

I have found the rare trim friend who was surprisingly heavy. I would have guessed 120 but the reality was closer to 130 or so. But the lady was quite strong and worked outside very regularly, carrying heavy stuff and doing a lot of yard work. She looks so dainty and slim that you would never guess her strength.
But as far as fats are concerned, oh someone thinks you look 180 rather than 200. After a certian point it all just looks like adipose.

At that weight gaining or losing 50lbs doesn't even make a noticeable change.
