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...

Late weight update.

Hey all! I have had some changes happening shift wise so I'm currently on 3rd shift for about a month. so it's totally messed up with my sleep cycle. between this and the holidays and my monthly I have put on the weight back. lol I tell ya. but honestly I can't get too upset because I was expecting this. As of today I weigh 267.. with my monthly still being on hopefully when it goes off and the bloating gets back down the weight will drop. right now I'm trying to get my fluids because I'm having a effect from the coffee that I been drinking overnight trying to make myself stay up during my shift.   plus I been trying to eat right since I went off that as well. my next weigh in will be on  the 7th.  of December.

Fat fasting days 2 and 3. "FINISHED"

Hey Guys and Girls! So I'm finally finished with my fat fast. I'm just so glad that's it's over with and I can finally have my vegetables and berries again.. I tell ya it was tough.. Day 2. I was pretty grouchy, moody, sluggish and tired however I wasn't hungry at all. While on Day 3. I was still tired but not as tired. I was still grouchy and moody but not as moody. to alleviate these issues that I been having I took a Vitamin B12 sublingual liquid vitamin, and Vitamin D. so it helped me out a good bit. I will still continue taking these because I notice my skin issues are starting to clear up since I started taking them along with my energy levels. Anyways thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy it! you can follow me on twitter @  https://twitter.com/LosingtoWinning  where I Post and try to make some mini updates or you can follow me here either way the more the merrier.
