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?

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.

Weight update!

Hello Bloggers! and Bloggetes! This week has been a rough and and interesting week! but despite of all that I still try to eat right and exercise 90% of my time.  honestly I can say I been glad I'm following through because the results speaks for themselves.  as of this morning I currently weigh in at 261.8.  compared to my weight from 272 from last week that is around 10 lbs!  I can definitely tell there's a difference in lost with all this weight because my back and my joints no longer hurt. and I have no issues in breathing. Next weigh in will be at the 23rd of November.  🙏 these holiday weeks. I swear..phew.. and on top of working at Retail and dealing with my own issues can be something but I'm going to keep pushing forward because that all I can do. thanks for reading and stay tuned! xoxo

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.
