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.

Real Good

Hello Everyone! Tonight I'm Reviewing the Real good Pizza that are in the snack size.  I bought these from Walmart and they were a little pricey. When I first saw them from the box I thought they have some kind of low carb nut based crust but the crust of this pizza is really thin chicken. and  I'm sure you're thinking chicken? that's odd. crust made out of chicken for pizza? Yes that's right I thought the same thing too.  but the description of it is some sort of Parmesan chicken.  with uncured pepperoni and cheeses. as you can see from above that's what they look like after being microwaved. Taste wise it was Eh.. ok. I guess.. not something that I would buy again. maybe if I placed it on the oven maybe it would make a difference on the taste because the chicken was pretty floppy.  there are 4 grams of carbs for 4 pizzas and 20 grams of protein. On a scale of 1- being the worst and 10 being the best I would rate this a 4.5.....
