As the season of aggressive weight loss marketing approaches, I want to remind everyone that someone's making money by making yourself feel bad about yourself, and also share the story my friend told me of how she got a #ThighGap: she tore her kneecap off falling off a balcony and had to have the muscle from her inner thigh stripped out and transplanted to reattach it. I defy anyone to find a thigh gap aspirational after hearing that.
Surgery, diet culture
I'm usually the one sharing gross out insect stories, so the look of glee on her face as she got her revenge by explaining how a muscle stripper worked was quite something to see
