Black women and weight


It is not unusual or unknown for black women to have weight problems. sometimes I wonder why are there so many Black women that are overweight or Obese? to some point I wonder when it comes to the weight do we as black women self sabotage our own health for the sake of being thick or just not wanting to be skinny. or is it the "big is beautiful mantra"
Some people may think the reason why so many black women are overweight because Black men are known to like big butts or breasts. not that I'm trying to say black men are the cause or its their fault. but when it comes to black men liking big butts or breasts I would say that its just a minor myth or something silly that people made up because after all you cant speak for everyone and their preference or desires.
or could it be that black women just don't want to sweat out their perms or relaxers or is it cause of food and the prices since the bad stuff such as white flour is cheaper.
I'm not trying to degrade or put anyone down but I found it disturbing that the statistics of black women being overweight is generally higher than any other race. I feel that when your weight becomes a problem and you ignore it then it should be of some concern.
So what are your thoughts on this?

Good News

Hey Guys I want to give you some news about my Grandmother; Last week she had a Liver Infection and the Doctors just placed her on some antibiotics for a couple days and sent her back home. they didn't wanted to go any further because they felt that she had enough problems as it is and my mom was upset about it  because she felt that they just was going to give up on her. Thanks to my mom and my aunt persistence they advised the doctors could she go to Birmingham for further and advanced treatment. No disrespect for EAMC (East Alabama Medical Center) there just seems to be better educated doctors in Birmingham from my personal experience. So she went to the hospital in Birmingham where she went through some tests and further treatment, the doctors said that they were able to treat her infection and now shes scheduled to go home today. I'm really happy about the news because I love my Grandma I wished I would've be there but I cant because I'm sick myself and I didn...

Atkins Stone Fired three meat pizza

Hello My fellow Bloggers and Bloggetes,   Today I'm reviewing the Atkins Stone fired three meat pizzas! I bought these at my local Walmart and I think it was around 3 dollars and some change.  as you can see from the pics it has 11 Net carbs and 26 Grams of Protein. which isn't too bad to me in my opinion.  When I took it out of the box it looked pretty good. I was surprised that it looked very close to what was on the package considering the fact that 9/10 when you buy something from the store it doesn't nearly look like what is on package. but hey that doesn't go for stores it also goes for Restaurants too! Lol! anyways back to the pizza.  The pizza itself was quite small which I didn't mind since I was just eating this around my lunch break sometimes I don't want a big meal, and the taste. well let me tell you I had to take a double take to make sure I was eating a Atkins meal because usually they don't taste so good. so this isn'...

Giving this one more shot..

Hey all!         Yes I know it's been awhile. since I posted anything. so I'm going to go ahead and get straight to the point instead of just drawing all this out. 1. I gained most of what I lost which is nothing new.. between the holidays, and my job getting on my nerves I'm currently at 276. not at my highest weight right? but still close to it nonetheless. 2. I stopped keto for awhile. and my sugar craving were off the roof trying to count calories so I'm back on keto again.  (Yes I know it's not good for me to be currently switching back and forth between eating habits like this and I'm sure my metabolism hates me even more now) 3.I had someone close to me that passed. so I had to go out of state to tend to the funeral and so forth. 4. I thought things at my job would be getting better but clearly it's not which is why I'm trying to look for work elsewhere.
