It's something I've become increasingly aware of in my almost seven years of recovery: that there was a huge amount of privilege given to me because I was recovering in a thin body.
Ever since I was a teenager, I've been hearing a variation on these words from men - you have a good body. I quickly learned what that constituted - basically being thin with double Ds - and this constant reduction of my personhood to those two factors made me both hate my body, and see it as a bargaining chip.
