You seem so smart. It really shows through in your video, I can just tell. Black women right now live in a culture that is very American in the sense of fast food, over eating and plain ol' not givin a F. On the other hand, Black culture plays a part into having women feel as if "thick" and "obese" are interchangeable and that having a big butt is the most important attribute on a woman. I think people like you are the cure, because you talk about it and offer advice.
@anythingisplenty Thanks so much for the compliment! Yes, there is so much misinformation out there and it's almost understandable that so many people are confused. but the counter to that is that there is always that thing called common sense. lol. too many of us aren't using that. There are many OTHER variables besides the ones i mentioned, but personal choice is what it boils down to. too many are making the wrong ones.
Thanks for watching and don't forget to check out and or share my blog!
I blame agriculture! Nothing is organic and farm raised anymore! Where can we buy farm raised that haven't been pumped with all those hormones and shit! fresh fruits and vegetables without all those pesticides! *smdh*
People as a whole need to learn to embrace differences as just that difference, and not better or worse. Society as a whole is obsessed with categorizing and labeling when life would be much simpler to just be. I will say this, before jumping on a bandwagon be sure that the issue has been adequately and ethically researched.
Just because a person is considered overweight by the standards set on a small number of research participants does not mean that the person is unhealthy. It does not mean that the person is not living a healthy lifestyle.
@1991Beads I agree with this. I'm still in the process of losing weight, but i can see already that my waist will be little well it's already defined, and my thighs will be larger. basically bottom heavy.
i was talking about just being massively overweight. riding around walmart in a scotter or something like that.
Unhealthy eating started in their mothers womb then the schools made dangerous foods accessible to them,it's an additcion that only they themselves can overcome.As you stated the american diet and lifestyle is the culprit,so in order to be healthy we must separate ourselves from the diet and lifestyle.It's not about leaving America,but leaving the unbeneficial things that we were taught in America.
I came upon this while searching something else. I didn't become overweight until I turned 40 and had been ill with fibroid tumors. The hormone treatment I had to go through (depro lupron) helped me to gain 50 lbs. If you are talking statistics a vast majority of our black women have fibroid tumors. This can hurt the reproductive system and cause problems. Other factors like diet and lack of exercise hurt us as well. Combine that with age and there you go. Good video however.
Black women are under assault in America, they are releasing studies that say black women are not attractive which is non-sense. As a white man i grew up fantasizing about black women so i guess i would not have fit the study which seems based on cultural bias. Black women are strong and facing a single mother crises in the 70% range yet continue to hold up their families. 3/5's of African Americans in college are Black women. Black women are essential to our society and im tired of seeing this.
@scrawnyscrub2 Thanks for your comment. Yeah I read the responses to that study and parts of the study itself. It was bullshit and other psychs criticized. given what's shown on television as 'beautiful' in the modern world, it's no surprise that most non blacks but black women at the bottom. I think we know better though ;) the problem though, was that the guy who wrote the study tried to say that it could be OBJECTIVELY PROVEN that black women were least attractive.
Im a white guy and i think you are gorgeous and alot of black women are. I honestly think it is part genetic likelihood (whites have been eating a shitty western diet for thousands of years so handle it better much like tolerating alcohol and lactose tolerance) and mostly culture based. Southern cooking is terrible for you, most black people as a percentage still live in the south despite the great migration. There is no shortage of obese whites in the south either.
@scrawnyscrub2 thanks for the compliment! I appreciate it. And I agree about your assessments of the south. just take a trip to walmart and you'll see every other person is not only overweight, but massively overweight, buying processed junk.
I'm only NOW becoming a nutrition nazi and seeing my body change the way i want it to. americans have been had! conditioned to eat junk food like substances. its sad, and some people just don't know there's anything even wrong!
is that even a question cus most of us black folks eat too dam much thats why shit i used to 202 lbs till i decided it was time for change problem in the black community is too many people are content with where they are in they life i seen too many people die from being overweight
Are you kidding me?!?! 223 pounds?? You look normal, I'm 185 pounds and thats in the mid healthy weight bracket for a 6,2 nineteen year old male. I don't believe your weight, if you calculate your BMI it's 34.9, which classifies you as obese.
ty i love it and i am trying to stay fit day by day and i agree with everything you said i will subscribe also alot of women larger weight do not make videos on here but you have to love yourself to be loved by others and i appreciate you speakin up and sharing your knowledge ;)
Unfortunately, a lot of black people are still brainwashed with the mentality instilled during slavery that places value on "bigger."
Here we are, hundreds of years later, and ghetto-thinking blacks STILL can't let go of that old, outdated mentality, even in the face of all the information we have of how damaging it is to us.
Every other group understands the correlation between living a healthy lifestyle and better health. Black folks still talking about, "I like em thick."
I have also noticed more overweight white and non-black women than overweight black women.It’s the same argument people use when discussing the FBI crime stats. More whites commit crimes but a disproportionate amount of blacks are represented in comparison to their population numbers.
It's not even "junk food". It's the good 'ol comfort food. CARBOHYDRATES are a super fuel that is never used. If you don't run a marathon every day, then you are eating incorrectly. Meat and veggies are the NATURAL diet of the human race. Simple carbs, (all refined wheat products, rice potatoes, corn, etc.) are 100% unnecessary! They rationalize it by saying thing like, "I need energy". News flash, FAT IS STORED ENERGY, PUT THE BREAD DOWN!!!
Blacks need to wake up. We were taught during slavery that "bigger" was somehow "healthy." Now all the rest of the civilized world knows better. Everyone but us.
We're still falling for that foolishness to this day, even with all the information and physicians' admonishments to the contrary.
We lead in heart attacks, diabetes, strokes, and other obesity-related illnesses and deaths, yet all we can talk about is how it "looks" or how we "carry it."
It's actually pretty simple. Over 100 years past slavery, many blacks (generally the ghetto variety) still hold on to the ideology that being big (overweight) is good. Slave masters taught that train of thought, even paying more for their "bigger" slaves and to this day so many blacks still buy into it. Even in the face of so much information teaching about it's negativity. We never learn.
Nope it's not genetics, look at movies and video clips from the 60's and 70's, most black women were thin and in shape...the only thing that has changed since then is the American diet and how accessible fast food is, and this has hard hit black communities...
@AllForOneAndSoOn Thanks for the compliment! This topic came to me when i was out and saw that most black women were overweight that I saw, but everything else on them was great. Hair, nails, clothes, toes even lol. Dressed to impress, but the body's a mess? That's appalling. Then it dawned on me that at 225 - at the time i made this vid, - i fit that description. I had to change. Technically I'm still overweight, but i am healthier and WAY better looking at 190....and still going!!
@AllForOneAndSoOn Sorry about your aunt picking on you like that. And yes, your view is right. If she wants to NOT be a fat black woman, she needs to change what got her fat (like I did) and become a sexy black woman lol.
The MAJORITY of the US is overweight. Whites make up the majority!! I'm tired of people always trying to point the finger at black women all the time. I've seen MORE overweight white girls then black girls and thats the truth. I'm getting tired of people always scapegoating blacks for everything. Don't believe it!
@told85 I'm definitely not scapegoating blacks, but the numbers just don't lie. Black women are more likely to be obese in America than white/asian/hispanic etc. it's not because we're lazy apes as some posters have commented, it's because there is a cycle in place that makes unhealthy weight gain possible and even likely. one has to recognize the cycle, then take the initiate to NOT become a victim to it.
Thats what i did. my overweight sister and mom think im snooty when i eat but oh well.
@kittybookitty you can't believe everything you read. Especially statistics put out by whites.Numbers DO lie. Blacks ALWAYS get blamed for a lot of problems in this country when in fact they only make up such a small percentage of the US population.Something isn't adding up. I gave up reading those bulls*it statistics a long time ago & I think you should too. In the US, I've seen MORE fat whites than any other race! The majority of the US is white.
Wow, you've lost almost 100 lbs(as I can see on your channel, till 10/05/10)! That's an incredible achievement, something to be proud of. You're going to live a much healthier and longer life.
You're an inspiration to everyone. Take it easy, don't try to lose weight too quickly, just focus on healthy foods and exercise. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon, a marathon for your health.
I'm trying my best and that's all i can do. But i also think it's important to share the information i've learned to help others. thanks for picking up on that.
we need to loose weight. eating 2/3 veggies and 1/3 lean meat and drinking 3 liters of water will trim us down. Also, it doesn't take much to exercise by video, machines, etc.
@QualityControlTV i'm not a black man basher and i even support interracial coupling, but what makes a fat white woman more appealing than a fat black woman?
@kittybookitty a fat white woman is not more appealing that a fat black woman....a fat white woman might have more earning potential than a black female but a black women distribute fat around their body way better than a white female..thats why when a white woman and a black woman of the same weight are compared the black woman will have a more curvy and voluptuous look then the white female..who tends to get fat in the obliques, face, and gut first.
I completely understand what you're saying and can almost agree w. everything. What i don't necessarily agree w. is where you basically say "i don't think it's sexy to be unhealthy fat" You also stated in a comment to someone that you & many other ppl don't think its sexy to be fat. The problem (in my opinion) with that is for you to say you don;'t think it's sexy to be "fat, or overweight" but honestly maybe there are some ppl that do. I feel ur weight is fine as long as ur not at risk.
i'm ova weight and i would like lose weight but it's hard to put da money into quality food when it's so high ..i do try to get more fruits,veggies ,even organic meats.....i have four daughters and it is hard out here...i live in da projects and on foodstamps so i really get da shit end of da stick...i will keep tryin
@Jennyambition well, just keep trying! you can do it if i can. healthy food IS high and junk food is cheap, and sadly addictive. that's why america has the weight problem it does. black and brown communities have higher numbers of junk food places in their communities and guess what? higher rates of obesity. the problem is more complex than that, but the cycle is atrocious. i'll advise you to take baby steps, even if that means cooking your food yourself more often.
Fat black women are vile, disgusting, stinky apes!! Put them bitches back into slavery and they will slim back down. They got lazy living off welfare and just eat and fuck!!
ME TOO BUT I WILL WORK ON IT. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT. IT IS NOT PART OF OUR HERITAGE TO BE OVERWEIGHT. TRUTH IS THAT IF YOU DON'T TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE WOULD RESPECT YOU. IF YOUR OBESE THEY VERY QUICK TO POINT IT OUT AND AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME THAT YOUR LAZY.
I don't know the answer to any of your questions, but I know you're asking good ones... In any case, you are very beautiful, brave to share your experience, and articulate. I hope you get yourself into the shape that makes you happy. Good luck.
It's also OFTEN black MOTHERS and grandmothers who get their children USED to ridiculous PORTIONS. I have seen this 1st hand. I have seen these matriarchs eat enormous amounts, thinking nothing of it, and also feeding children these amounts, and thinking nothing of it.
SHAPE, not weight, is determined by genetics. The first step to MANAGING weight is LEARNING to eat less.
I agree with DXcellence as well, but I read an article about there being food deserts in neighborhoods that don't have proper grocery stores, instead there are Conner stores with all the junk foods, therefore people develop the worst eating habits. Like where I am from, there aren't to many grocery stores, and there are more fast food places. Another reason is that no one cooks at home anymore.
@beatlesfan07480 congrats on the healthy lifestyle! i think people who are over 100 lbs overweight have a problem that is WAY MORE than the food. the overeating and the massive bodies are a sign of a deeper, emotional issue that's never been resolved and continues to grow. one can only hope that those individuals get help or take initiative to take even small steps in the right direction. i think when you eat continuously, and absentmindedly that feeling of 'im not worthy' grows. it's a cycle.
i am a black femle and i've honestly wondered this too. i work at a public place and the rare times that i do see another black woman then shes super super heavyset. its so rare for me to see another thin or average sized black woman. its honestly really depressing cause i see other races of women who even after having like 6 kids STILL work out and their body stays fit and tight. why cant we do that too?
@pinkaddiction13 That's what prompted me to make the video. I was seeing women who were overweight, but otherwise gorgeous! and it made me wonder why that was the norm, not just where i live but everywhere! including myself! lol
Thats when i knew i had to change and ask others to change too if they wanted to.
Sweetie, you are soo right. I am proud of you for having the guts to come forward and say the truth. I am so tired of the excuses BW are fed to keep their status quo. Gongratulations on your health quest!!
youre so fat because of fast food and unhealthy eatting habits, and black people forcing themselves to eat everything on their plate when you are really supposed to eat until you are full, NOT UNTIL EVERYTHING ON THE PLATE IS GONE.
AMERICA I S WRONG 100% WRONG FOR ITS SHIT FOOD!! MUST STAND UP AND PROTEST TO BAN ALL FAST FOOD AND SHIT SUGAR COMPANIESE!! DO YOU WNAT YOUR CHILDREN TO PICK OUT PICKLES IN THEIR CHEESEBURGER IN SHIT DONALDS BUT ARE SITTING IN 2 CHAIRS TO LAY THEIR BIG ARSES!
its the fried food more than anything else. go in the kitchen, take some chicken grease and pour it into a bowl of cold to mild temperature water and you will see these globs forming in the water from the grease. that same thing happens in your body from fried food, big globs forming all in your blood stream and arteries. in the cold season the grease clogs up, in warm to hot seasons the grease melts and flows easier in your body. pour grease into hot water the globs dont form, its common sense.
I, just like you, lost a bunch of weight, from 212 to 140 (i'm sill curvy), I'm 5'8 and I'm going natural too. I lost the weight by eating healthy (no exercise, just tons of veggies and fruits) Nowadays, people that knew me when I was bigger tell me I'm too damn skinny and I look like I need meat on my bones. ALL of the people who give me this "advice" are overweight or obese themselves (one is diabetic, over 300lbs) I honestly think they say these things to make themselves feel better.
The pictures of the women you showed around 6min (not including monique) were not thick. They were either muscular, or thin (with big boobs, and a big butt).
To be thick is to be fat. What is more important than weight is the fat to muscle ratio. Everyone is obsessed about weight, but muscle weighs more than fat. You need to be working with your fat to muscle ratio. I would say genetics would be breasts and ass, everything else is just being a gluten.
Most black people don't care about eating right. Black women eat too much bad carbs and processed foods, and don't care too much about what's in the ingredients, first off it's cheap to eat bad diets as opposed to eating healthier nourishing diets that people with good incomes can choose to eat. Around where I live I am the only black woman(and Im 21 years old) who eats a predominantly healthy diet that includes organic fruits and veggies!
a couple of things -- just because i despise generalizations...
"Black women eat too much bad carbs and processed foods, and don't care too much about what's in the ingredients" <<< you might be able to say that about the general american populous.
"Around where I live I am the only black woman(and Im 21 years old) who eats a predominantly healthy diet that includes organic fruits and veggies! " How can you substantiate that?
they are comfortable with being fat because they're actors.educated black people are fat too-so, to say it's all about education can't stick.the food is making them junkies and for that you won't find a handful of black woman who could lose their weight and keep their weight down not only for a few days or weeks but for the rest of their life's.
@kittybookitty woman mostly fail to loose weight but can succeed in their jobs.the same moment they enter their private life they fail.if woman would fail in their work place as they fail in their private life's trying to loose weight you would have nearly all woman in the U.S. being unemployed.look at these poor females on the streets all around never ever being able to control their weight.
@kittybookitty you're one of the very very few who could loose weight.this is not because you're educated.education is school based and leads to a job.thats why the people with the highest IQ fail in loosing weight like the people fail who have a low IQ.if education would solve this-all teachers would have succeeded in losing weigh long time ago.the reason why you could solve the problem is because you had discipline.discipline has a foundation called="FAITH".
yeah in this vid i was around 225-230, now i'm down to 190 or so. Im SUPPOSED to be at or near 175, but my body isn't losing but i think im back on the right track now. even when i tell people that im 190 they are shocked because through weight loss, i've developed an hourglass shape and my weight is pretty evenly spread. I think i have more muscle mass than average ppl my weight. Thank god for genetics i guess.
According to the GALLUP and CDC approximately 63% of Americans are overweight or obese. Among women, 76% black, 72% hispanic, 59% white, <9% asian. Among men, 75% hispanic, 72% white, 69% black, <10% asian. There's a big gap between white (59%) and black (76%) women. On reason may be psychological, black women think they're thick (like Serena, Beyonce, Michelle Obama) instead of realizing having a belly, huge booty, and dents in their ass is gross. ALWAYS exercise before sleep.
@Par5Birdie I agree that there is a mental shift that needs to take place with black women. It involves having access to and seeking out information on this subject at well.
I think, or at least hope, that more black women will get the information they're looking for a make positive changes like I did.
Americans eat too much in general. Right now I'm working on just eating when my stomach is growling. To be honest, no one needs more food than that.
NO NO!! NO!!!!!!!! MUST STOP EATING!!!! AMERICANS NEED DISCIPLINE!! TOO PEACEFUL!!! WAKE UP AT 5 O'CLOCK AND GO TO WORK. OH YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
Americans must stand up and protest against their government for providing shit food to their people, I'm serious!! How is it possible for one fat American to sit in 2 chairs picking out pickles from their cheese burger, it's not even funny any more!! Americans need to starve. must become communists and suffer.

@Par5Birdie believe it or not, serena has dents in her ass. even skinny women have cellulite lol. i know you're talking about cellulite everywhere but just wanted to put that out there....
I agree. Many black women think that it's normal for them to be overweight or obese. Some call it curvy, and sexy even, but the fact is it's fat, and it's not healthy. Then they wonder why 70% of them are single. I'm not trying to down my black women, but there needs to be some kind of intervention. I hope many realize it and invest in a gym membership.
@LadyKizzle1984 I hope that given the fact that we live in an information age, ppl will gain knowledge on how food choices and lifestyle impact long term health. I don't think there is a direct correlation between being single and being overweight. lol. even fat people get married. but i think that 70% single number includes women who are NOT married, lesbian AND widowed women...and of course women who are not in a relationship.
@sy911019 it's ok. given the statistics in america at least, athletic/fit/slim black women are in the minority. slim/fit/athletic women regardless of race are in the minority because 2/3 of people in the USA are overweight. It's just more so in the black community.
It's not offensive, your comment. Take me. I'm lighter than I was in this video, but to the person who doesn't know how much wgt I've lost, I am still just an over weight person.
@kittybookitty@kittybookitty if youre overweight, youre overweight. it doesnt matter if you lost 500 pounds or gained 50. youre still overweight no matter who knows how much weight youve lost. not trying to be mean, i'm just a little dumbfounded at your comment.
Well im a fit black woman, a size 6. Black people tend to have totally different views on whats fat and whats skinny. I was always told I was too skinny by black people even though Im at a medium weight for my height. Heavy black women have always given me grief about it and black men would tell me I have a beautiful face but should gain weight. The word "thick" is very overused when alot of those girls are just big. White men seem to appreciate my body alot more.
really ...where do you live?...Im surprised/shocked when I see a super obese black woman.
to many black men are cosigning being big...this BBW mess needs to die down. ...these big women go to these BBW love websites and it affirms their weight...even here on YT you will see men cosigning of every single fat and obese black woman video...just look for yourself.
Evolution designed our bodies to pack on weight, as food was never as easily available as it is today. Unfortunately, very few black people recognise this, as most black folks are still religious and believe that we were created in the "image of God." If we were, then God is a natural glutton!
Restraint must be taught at home at as early an age as possible.
Delaying gratification is difficult, but highly rewarding.
@bluenoserr I totally agree that self restraint is important and should be taught early. Delaying gratification IS rewarding in just about every sense.
It would be no fun if we won the lottery every weekend!
Lately, i have not been restraining myself this holiday season, not on all days! lol, but each day is a new beginning!
self restraint isnt so much the issue, but diet composition. women in particular are more insulin resistant than men, meaning their bodies are better at retaining fat. insulin is produced primarily when we consume carbohydrates, as these cause glucose levels in the blood to rise, and insulin hormone is secreted to counteract this; in doing so however, body fat is stored--insulin is crucial for this. dont worry about calories, cut carbs and exercise a little before eating. youll drop fat quick.
@Pelonetillo I love this comment! It's constructive and offers sound advice for myself and anyone who may come across this video who may be looking for answers. Even though I'm a little smaller than I was when I made this vid, advice like yours still rings bells and it's great to be reminded.
Thanks so much, Pelonetillo!
And we could all use this advice, especially around Christmastime. Refined carbs are the 'devil.'
youre welcome. to explain: exercise before eating heightens the bodys sensitivity to insulin, thus reducing the amount produced when eating carbohydrates. the effect lasts several hours. exercise before the carbs will keep more weight off than you could lose doing the same workout after eating them. eating fat is fine, but if you eat any carbs, as you mention kitty, try to keep them complex/unrefined. potato with skin, whole wheat, brown rice, etc. the more fiber it has the better!
food has been abundant for mankind for centuries now, but we werent always so obese. recently, mankind--particularly in the west--has refined its diet to the point where many common foods are metabolized too easily and quickly--simple carbohydrates are the main culprit, and these were introduced generously a few decades ago, thanks to a misguided food pyramid that puts enemy #1 at its base, establishing it as a staple.
I'm hispanic and I see womens obesity is very common in minorities. I believe all the trolls are just fat white people trying to say white people are fat too. You speak the truth, you go girl.
cut the flower, decrease your sugar, fried foods are a no no, if u must then eat them sparingly. Decrease the amount of White rice, and salt. Control your portions and eat the big meal at noon, it will give your body time to digest the food and burn the calories. Breakfast and diner should be small meals because they are late in the day. Check out how to ear to live and Dick Gregory's diet book. I went from 6'1 225lb to 6'1 195 so you can do it. Good luck sisters your are loved!
Woww! I'm almost afraid to leave a comment the way you SNAPPED on (AnandaOne), I don't see any offense in the comment.....averager sz female is what? 5'4' and 185 lbs is heavy for that frame BUT a 6'1" frame at 185 is not too bad. Micky D's being in the neighbor is a copeout for single moms....Where there's a Will there's a Way. The suffer from The Seven Deadly Sins.
Noone wants to take accountability for their OWN ACTIONS, society don't rule my home and fam.
@mssquirrely Not at all. But I get a lot of really foul comments on this video, and that's why I preview them first now. I mean comments directed at me personally, not the content of the vid. And the 185 just stuck out to me because that's my last posted weight on my channel.
I agree with you about knowledge being king. That's when i started to see REAL success when i had access to tons of info. When ppl take accountability for their actions individually they will see a change indeed.
@AnandaOne Are you referring to my weight here? whether you are or not, i'm assuming you are.
whether it's 'way big' or obese (for my height it's overweight, but not obese) is of no consequence to anyone but myself. given that i used to be nearly 100 lbs heavier, you should try harder to keep it in perspective, assuming you're referring to me with your comment.
lastly, weigh far less than 185 these days. i love being an example for what it takes to achieve a difficult goal.
Its because many of us still hold onto slave-mentality. Think about it. Much of what was taught us in slavery is passed down and still drives many of us even to today. Obesity (the need to be "big") was ingrained in us during slavery. We were taught the "bigger" you were, the more value you held. Its no different than our current day lauding of ignorance (it was a crime for slaves to read) and valuation of "slave talk" (if you speak proper English there's something wrong with you), even today.
I'm wondering if there isn't an inherent disposition to weight gain for Africans on a typical Western diet more so than others, given being transplanted from ancestral lands and having radical changes in diet.....issues such storing up for times of drought might come into play....many African women have "bounty" in certain areas, but would not be typically thought to be obese.
The body "standard" needs to be tossed out. Strength, range of motion, energy, much more important.
Food addiction, is the same as drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, etc...Its easy to talk about it, but we all know it is not easy to kick the habit. No one is happy being fat. Some people have become comfortable with being fat for various reasons. Alot of it is men who only want sex, telling black/nonblack women their just thick.
They refuse to workout and they eat anything!!! They prefer to watch Atlanta Housewives and Dancing with the Stars instead of working on their body. They only go to the gym when they 30 pounds overweight.
I just think that the areas most black people grow up in do not influence a healthy lifestyle. I'm happy to say that now, because of the internet and so much information that is available to us, many black people are starting to take control over these lifestyles.
I don't understand why ppl put extra emphasis on American Black women being overweight. I have seen fat women in the Caribbean, in the UK and in Africa. I have seen fat women of all races. Obesity is a global issue and its getting worse.
@KollegeGirl13 Yes, it is a global epidemic. Even in the Middle East, one of the countries there have overtaken us as the fattest population in the world.
I made this video about black AMERICAN women because I am one. I can only speak about what I know first hand.
Poor diets, too much soda, fried EVERYTHING and not enough exercise and outdoor activities (no barbecuing does not count). Get rid of the sugar and fats and eat more fish (sushi, salmon, etc). Also eating salads would help.
It's cheaper to buy crappy processed, fast and greasy, and instant food. I was raised on it. Its all my family could afford. When I moved out and lived with my Bf, who works for Whole Foods ( the organic food store) and lives in the burbs. (plenty of room to safely walk and work out), I could finally afford the food that I need to be eating. Lucky, I am losing weight slowly but surely and I am happy! I never liked being fat, and I can't wait til I reach my goal of 160. :)
I have*always*noticed what you have mentioned before,whenever I go out and notice that a good deal of the AA women are overweight.I believe there is so much that can be contributed to this.Areas of residence mainly.Why cant AAs have organic, and natural markets in their neighborhoods?(namely the bad ones too). A lot do not take their health in to consideration. I personally used to swim a lot. I havent in the past 4-5 years because I moved, but more AA's need to learn about *proper* nutrition.
@PresidentOfTheBlack I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU HERE!!!!!!!! One thing is having a LITTLE extra padding and keeping a shapely and HEALTHY body. Another is having excess weight think Gabora Sidibey or Monique, or, well me. Yes, I have a shape, but YES, even more than 20lbs slimmer from when i made this video, I am overweight. I happen to see it as a problem for me. Men will honk and stare, but i will know I'm not satisfied with myself. Some BW don't see a problem with fat if they have a booty.
i know i talked to a woman i was involved with that was 400lbs+ and constantly tried to get her to lose weight and be healthier and she claimed she didnt think anything was wrong with her.it caused alot of problems, i constantly broke up with her and dated better looking women but she promised change and 7 years later she is fatter and shows off her fat disgusting arms and legs.not trying to be mean she justs frustrates me.how can any1 that size stay that size and expect some1 to be cool with it
I'm gonna tell all you fat women this straight up. NOBODY, and I do mean NOBODY has to be fat. Unless you have a pituitary gland problem there is no excuse. And I see waaaay more fat white women than black women, especially in the midwest. Black American women are going to be a little bit bigger than the white ones, but what's the excuse for white women. Stop listening to white america telling you are fat just because you are a natural size 10/12.
It's bc BW have bought into the WM's value system,i.e.:materialism and laziness.For example, BW tend to desire a new car as a life style achievement. Where as in Europe,ppl walk & ride bikes.Try to put the average BW on a bike! She will have a cow! lol Another example, most BW DON'T SWIM!! They actually dont know how to swim!! WTF???? I'm a BM and I have my life guard certification and have been a avid swimmer since 3 years old!! Squats & kick outs give you that "thick" look!! GO HARDWORK!!
comparing thick black women to thick white women, i would preffer black, i just think in general your skin looks great even being overweight, overweight white girls ive found tend not to have as nice looking skin compared to black girls.
They try to make us feel our blessed features are something we should be ashamed of. From our full lips, bronze skin, black male penis size and black woman butt size, these have always been the topic of their envy. You have white women getting botox in their lips to be full, butt implants and baking in the sun all day. Then you white men tring their best to make pill that will make their johnson bigger. I may have gotten off topic, but my point is we're different.
You do realize white america is claiming 78% percent of black women are obese, don't buy into the brainwash. Serena Williams for example would be considered fat in their eyes. Are there obese black women, yes; like there are with any race. This 78% thing is total bullsh*t though. As where a 150 lb 5"2 white woman would look like a beach ball, the equivalent black woman will be a curvy goddess. We carry more muscle than whites as they tend to be just dough.
@TheHNIC88 At the time i made the video yes i was 220. Big fucking deal, hun. I'm currently 185 and will continue to lose lbs, but that's besides the point. This video is constructive and should be help for black women who want to get healthy. If you don't have anything constructive to add, then don't comment. Btw, your comment has been deleted. Anything else you wanna add?? If so tell someone who gives a shit, nigga.
I worked at a gym at my university for two years. One thing I noticed is that the only time black women CONSISTENTLY worked out was when they were trying to lose 15 pounds. They were trying to lose a large amount of weight in a week...and it took 6 months to gain. When I looked at the other nationalities of women, they treated working out like a lifestyle. Those white girls came in the gym, did their 30 minutes of stairmaster, did their crunches 3 or 4 days a week.....why????
Props to you for not fallign into the fat Black girl trap. The trap being confusing being fat with being thick. Sarena Williams is thick, Buffie the Body is thick. You get it.
u r worrying about offending people? let me tell u where the obesity problem stems from (besides the fact that black american females r lazy and do not watch what they eat...let alone know the effects of what they put in their bodies), it stems from the left over grime that the cracker so called master use to throw away that our ancestors made food out of. i mean look at the black american female compare to the black Afrikan woman!! there is no comparison really in terms of the body structure!!
@MachinateTDK you have generalized terribly here. there are more than a few black women who have excellent body structure, and many african women who dont lol. let's get real here.
but in america where obesity seems to be the norm it is time for black women to take a stand against junk food and commit to being the beautiful women we were born to be. it has nothing to do with african vs american. i'm tired of africans coming to this video and thinking africans are somehow the shit vs af-ams.
I honestly dont see the point of a woman, black or other wise, have to be skinny. I'm not saying I'm in to obese but plus size women are very beautiful. You did mention there are big woman that know how to pull it off, I think Jill Scott is an excellent example of true beauty. Funny how when your big you live in the prison of trying to be skinny and if your skinny, you live in to prison of trying NOT to be fat. Just big women, skinny women hav the same issues.
Thank you for making this video. Your awesome! I made a video about obesity too. I'm not obese, but obesity in the United States bothers me a lot to because it isn't just adults who are obese it's little kids too and it's like their parents just don't care and i feel really sorry for the kids.
Hi, BTW--You have beautiful eyes and eyelashes. I've been thinking the same thing. It's a touchy sub but still the question remains why? I see more fast-food and liquor stores in our neighborhood. There are a few fresh (close to nonexistent) market stores with "fresh" fruit or veg. How many blk fam do you see getting outside just to walk, ride a bike, or play in the park? Sistahs always get together to eat. Changing the factors, changes the outcome.
I'LL TELL YOU ONE OF THE REASON WHY SOME BLACK WOMEN ARE OVERWEIGHT. WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO SUCH AS; YOU GOT CURVES, YOU'RE THICK, LOVE YOURSELF AS YOU ARE, IT IS PART OF OUR HERITAGE. LIES, LIES, LIES. i make it a part of my daily routine to excercise, walk, drink water, and watch my portions, hardly ever eat fried foods. it has worked for me. Oh yeah, i keep my skin clean and moisturized.
You seem so smart. It really shows through in your video, I can just tell. Black women right now live in a culture that is very American in the sense of fast food, over eating and plain ol' not givin a F. On the other hand, Black culture plays a part into having women feel as if "thick" and "obese" are interchangeable and that having a big butt is the most important attribute on a woman. I think people like you are the cure, because you talk about it and offer advice.

People as a whole need to learn to embrace differences as just that difference, and not better or worse.

I came upon this while searching something else. I didn't become overweight until I turned 40 and had been ill with fibroid tumors. The hormone treatment I had to go through (depro lupron) helped me to gain 50 lbs. If you are talking statistics a vast majority of our black women have fibroid tumors. This can hurt the reproductive system and cause problems. Other factors like diet and lack of exercise hurt us as well. Combine that with age and there you go. Good video however.

Black women are under assault in America, they are releasing studies that say black women are not attractive which is non-sense. As a white man i grew up fantasizing about black women so i guess i would not have fit the study which seems based on cultural bias. Black women are strong and facing a single mother crises in the 70% range yet continue to hold up their families. 3/5's of African Americans in college are Black women. Black women are essential to our society and im tired of seeing this.

Im a white guy and i think you are gorgeous and alot of black women are. I honestly think it is part genetic likelihood (whites have been eating a shitty western diet for thousands of years so handle it better much like tolerating alcohol and lactose tolerance) and mostly culture based. Southern cooking is terrible for you, most black people as a percentage still live in the south despite the great migration. There is no shortage of obese whites in the south either.

Unfortunately, a lot of black people are still brainwashed with the mentality instilled during slavery that places value on "bigger."
Here we are, hundreds of years later, and ghetto-thinking blacks STILL can't let go of that old, outdated mentality, even in the face of all the information we have of how damaging it is to us.
Every other group understands the correlation between living a healthy lifestyle and better health. Black folks still talking about, "I like em thick."

It's not even "junk food". It's the good 'ol comfort food. CARBOHYDRATES are a super fuel that is never used. If you don't run a marathon every day, then you are eating incorrectly. Meat and veggies are the NATURAL diet of the human race. Simple carbs, (all refined wheat products, rice potatoes, corn, etc.) are 100% unnecessary! They rationalize it by saying thing like, "I need energy". News flash, FAT IS STORED ENERGY, PUT THE BREAD DOWN!!!

Blacks need to wake up. We were taught during slavery that "bigger" was somehow "healthy." Now all the rest of the civilized world knows better. Everyone but us.
We're still falling for that foolishness to this day, even with all the information and physicians' admonishments to the contrary.
We lead in heart attacks, diabetes, strokes, and other obesity-related illnesses and deaths, yet all we can talk about is how it "looks" or how we "carry it."
Wow.

It's actually pretty simple. Over 100 years past slavery, many blacks (generally the ghetto variety) still hold on to the ideology that being big (overweight) is good. Slave masters taught that train of thought, even paying more for their "bigger" slaves and to this day so many blacks still buy into it. Even in the face of so much information teaching about it's negativity. We never learn.

Nope it's not genetics, look at movies and video clips from the 60's and 70's, most black women were thin and in shape...the only thing that has changed since then is the American diet and how accessible fast food is, and this has hard hit black communities...

@told85 I'm definitely not scapegoating blacks, but the numbers just don't lie. Black women are more likely to be obese in America than white/asian/hispanic etc. it's not because we're lazy apes as some posters have commented, it's because there is a cycle in place that makes unhealthy weight gain possible and even likely. one has to recognize the cycle, then take the initiate to NOT become a victim to it.

The problem (in my opinion) with that is for you to say you don;'t think it's sexy to be "fat, or overweight" but honestly maybe there are some ppl that do. I feel ur weight is fine as long as ur not at risk.

@Jennyambition well, just keep trying! you can do it if i can. healthy food IS high and junk food is cheap, and sadly addictive. that's why america has the weight problem it does. black and brown communities have higher numbers of junk food places in their communities and guess what? higher rates of obesity. the problem is more complex than that, but the cycle is atrocious. i'll advise you to take baby steps, even if that means cooking your food yourself more often.

@beatlesfan07480 congrats on the healthy lifestyle! i think people who are over 100 lbs overweight have a problem that is WAY MORE than the food. the overeating and the massive bodies are a sign of a deeper, emotional issue that's never been resolved and continues to grow. one can only hope that those individuals get help or take initiative to take even small steps in the right direction. i think when you eat continuously, and absentmindedly that feeling of 'im not worthy' grows. it's a cycle.

its the fried food more than anything else. go in the kitchen, take some chicken grease and pour it into a bowl of cold to mild temperature water and you will see these globs forming in the water from the grease. that same thing happens in your body from fried food, big globs forming all in your blood stream and arteries. in the cold season the grease clogs up, in warm to hot seasons the grease melts and flows easier in your body. pour grease into hot water the globs dont form, its common sense.

I, just like you, lost a bunch of weight, from 212 to 140 (i'm sill curvy), I'm 5'8 and I'm going natural too. I lost the weight by eating healthy (no exercise, just tons of veggies and fruits) Nowadays, people that knew me when I was bigger tell me I'm too damn skinny and I look like I need meat on my bones. ALL of the people who give me this "advice" are overweight or obese themselves (one is diabetic, over 300lbs) I honestly think they say these things to make themselves feel better.

The pictures of the women you showed around 6min (not including monique) were not thick. They were either muscular, or thin (with big boobs, and a big butt).
To be thick is to be fat. What is more important than weight is the fat to muscle ratio. Everyone is obsessed about weight, but muscle weighs more than fat. You need to be working with your fat to muscle ratio. I would say genetics would be breasts and ass, everything else is just being a gluten.

Most black people don't care about eating right. Black women eat too much bad carbs and processed foods, and don't care too much about what's in the ingredients, first off it's cheap to eat bad diets as opposed to eating healthier nourishing diets that people with good incomes can choose to eat. Around where I live I am the only black woman(and Im 21 years old) who eats a predominantly healthy diet that includes organic fruits and veggies!

@kittybookitty you're one of the very very few who could loose weight.this is not because you're educated.education is school based and leads to a job.thats why the people with the highest IQ fail in loosing weight like the people fail who have a low IQ.if education would solve this-all teachers would have succeeded in losing weigh long time ago.the reason why you could solve the problem is because you had discipline.discipline has a foundation called="FAITH".

....what!...your 230 pounds in this video?...
wow I would not have guess that....you look like you may be a shorter girl too.
I just had a 9.5 pound baby and I never weight anywhere near that...
you carry wieght pretty well in your face...some bigger girls do not and they get the really really puffy cheeks.
you look rather nice and normal.

@princessmeow123 well thank you!! lol
yeah in this vid i was around 225-230, now i'm down to 190 or so. Im SUPPOSED to be at or near 175, but my body isn't losing but i think im back on the right track now. even when i tell people that im 190 they are shocked because through weight loss, i've developed an hourglass shape and my weight is pretty evenly spread. I think i have more muscle mass than average ppl my weight. Thank god for genetics i guess.

According to the GALLUP and CDC approximately 63% of Americans are overweight or obese. Among women, 76% black, 72% hispanic, 59% white, <9% asian. Among men, 75% hispanic, 72% white, 69% black, <10% asian. There's a big gap between white (59%) and black (76%) women. On reason may be psychological, black women think they're thick (like Serena, Beyonce, Michelle Obama) instead of realizing having a belly, huge booty, and dents in their ass is gross. ALWAYS exercise before sleep.

@Par5Birdie I agree that there is a mental shift that needs to take place with black women. It involves having access to and seeking out information on this subject at well.
I think, or at least hope, that more black women will get the information they're looking for a make positive changes like I did.
Americans eat too much in general. Right now I'm working on just eating when my stomach is growling. To be honest, no one needs more food than that.
That's a REAL psychological shift.

NO NO!! NO!!!!!!!! MUST STOP EATING!!!! AMERICANS NEED DISCIPLINE!! TOO PEACEFUL!!! WAKE UP AT 5 O'CLOCK AND GO TO WORK. OH YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
Americans must stand up and protest against their government for providing shit food to their people, I'm serious!! How is it possible for one fat American to sit in 2 chairs picking out pickles from their cheese burger, it's not even funny any more!! Americans need to starve. must become communists and suffer.

I agree. Many black women think that it's normal for them to be overweight or obese. Some call it curvy, and sexy even, but the fact is it's fat, and it's not healthy. Then they wonder why 70% of them are single. I'm not trying to down my black women, but there needs to be some kind of intervention. I hope many realize it and invest in a gym membership.

I don't think there is a direct correlation between being single and being overweight. lol. even fat people get married. but i think that 70% single number includes women who are NOT married, lesbian AND widowed women...and of course women who are not in a relationship.

@sy911019 it's ok. given the statistics in america at least, athletic/fit/slim black women are in the minority. slim/fit/athletic women regardless of race are in the minority because 2/3 of people in the USA are overweight. It's just more so in the black community.

Well im a fit black woman, a size 6. Black people tend to have totally different views on whats fat and whats skinny. I was always told I was too skinny by black people even though Im at a medium weight for my height. Heavy black women have always given me grief about it and black men would tell me I have a beautiful face but should gain weight. The word "thick" is very overused when alot of those girls are just big. White men seem to appreciate my body alot more.

Evolution designed our bodies to pack on weight, as food was never as easily available as it is today. Unfortunately, very few black people recognise this, as most black folks are still religious and believe that we were created in the "image of God." If we were, then God is a natural glutton!
Restraint must be taught at home at as early an age as possible.
Delaying gratification is difficult, but highly rewarding.
bluenoserr 1 year ago
@bluenoserr I totally agree that self restraint is important and should be taught early. Delaying gratification IS rewarding in just about every sense.
It would be no fun if we won the lottery every weekend!
Lately, i have not been restraining myself this holiday season, not on all days! lol, but each day is a new beginning!
kittybookitty 1 year ago
self restraint isnt so much the issue, but diet composition. women in particular are more insulin resistant than men, meaning their bodies are better at retaining fat. insulin is produced primarily when we consume carbohydrates, as these cause glucose levels in the blood to rise, and insulin hormone is secreted to counteract this; in doing so however, body fat is stored--insulin is crucial for this. dont worry about calories, cut carbs and exercise a little before eating. youll drop fat quick.
Pelonetillo 1 year ago
@Pelonetillo I love this comment! It's constructive and offers sound advice for myself and anyone who may come across this video who may be looking for answers. Even though I'm a little smaller than I was when I made this vid, advice like yours still rings bells and it's great to be reminded.
Thanks so much, Pelonetillo!
And we could all use this advice, especially around Christmastime. Refined carbs are the 'devil.'
kittybookitty 1 year ago
youre welcome. to explain: exercise before eating heightens the bodys sensitivity to insulin, thus reducing the amount produced when eating carbohydrates. the effect lasts several hours. exercise before the carbs will keep more weight off than you could lose doing the same workout after eating them. eating fat is fine, but if you eat any carbs, as you mention kitty, try to keep them complex/unrefined. potato with skin, whole wheat, brown rice, etc. the more fiber it has the better!
Pelonetillo 1 year ago
food has been abundant for mankind for centuries now, but we werent always so obese. recently, mankind--particularly in the west--has refined its diet to the point where many common foods are metabolized too easily and quickly--simple carbohydrates are the main culprit, and these were introduced generously a few decades ago, thanks to a misguided food pyramid that puts enemy #1 at its base, establishing it as a staple.

cut the flower, decrease your sugar, fried foods are a no no, if u must then eat them sparingly. Decrease the amount of White rice, and salt. Control your portions and eat the big meal at noon, it will give your body time to digest the food and burn the calories. Breakfast and diner should be small meals because they are late in the day. Check out how to ear to live and Dick Gregory's diet book. I went from 6'1 225lb to 6'1 195 so you can do it. Good luck sisters your are loved!

I agree with you about knowledge being king. That's when i started to see REAL success when i had access to tons of info. When ppl take accountability for their actions individually they will see a change indeed.

Maybe a female at 6' 1" would be ok at 185. But for the average height American female 185 is waay big. Obese even.

@AnandaOne Are you referring to my weight here? whether you are or not, i'm assuming you are.
whether it's 'way big' or obese (for my height it's overweight, but not obese) is of no consequence to anyone but myself. given that i used to be nearly 100 lbs heavier, you should try harder to keep it in perspective, assuming you're referring to me with your comment.
lastly, weigh far less than 185 these days. i love being an example for what it takes to achieve a difficult goal.
thanks, hun.

Its because many of us still hold onto slave-mentality. Think about it. Much of what was taught us in slavery is passed down and still drives many of us even to today. Obesity (the need to be "big") was ingrained in us during slavery. We were taught the "bigger" you were, the more value you held. Its no different than our current day lauding of ignorance (it was a crime for slaves to read) and valuation of "slave talk" (if you speak proper English there's something wrong with you), even today.

I'm wondering if there isn't an inherent disposition to weight gain for Africans on a typical Western diet more so than others, given being transplanted from ancestral lands and having radical changes in diet.....issues such storing up for times of drought might come into play....many African women have "bounty" in certain areas, but would not be typically thought to be obese.
The body "standard" needs to be tossed out. Strength, range of motion, energy, much more important.
All the best.

Poor diets, too much soda, fried EVERYTHING and not enough exercise and outdoor activities (no barbecuing does not count). Get rid of the sugar and fats and eat more fish (sushi, salmon, etc). Also eating salads would help.

It's cheaper to buy crappy processed, fast and greasy, and instant food. I was raised on it. Its all my family could afford. When I moved out and lived with my Bf, who works for Whole Foods ( the organic food store) and lives in the burbs. (plenty of room to safely walk and work out), I could finally afford the food that I need to be eating. Lucky, I am losing weight slowly but surely and I am happy! I never liked being fat, and I can't wait til I reach my goal of 160. :)

A lot do not take their health in to consideration. I personally used to swim a lot. I havent in the past 4-5 years because I moved, but more AA's need to learn about *proper* nutrition.

I'm gonna tell all you fat women this straight up. NOBODY, and I do mean NOBODY has to be fat. Unless you have a pituitary gland problem there is no excuse. And I see waaaay more fat white women than black women, especially in the midwest. Black American women are going to be a little bit bigger than the white ones, but what's the excuse for white women. Stop listening to white america telling you are fat just because you are a natural size 10/12.

You do realize white america is claiming 78% percent of black women are obese, don't buy into the brainwash. Serena Williams for example would be considered fat in their eyes. Are there obese black women, yes; like there are with any race. This 78% thing is total bullsh*t though. As where a 150 lb 5"2 white woman would look like a beach ball, the equivalent black woman will be a curvy goddess. We carry more muscle than whites as they tend to be just dough.

I worked at a gym at my university for two years. One thing I noticed is that the only time black women CONSISTENTLY worked out was when they were trying to lose 15 pounds. They were trying to lose a large amount of weight in a week...and it took 6 months to gain. When I looked at the other nationalities of women, they treated working out like a lifestyle. Those white girls came in the gym, did their 30 minutes of stairmaster, did their crunches 3 or 4 days a week.....why????

u r worrying about offending people? let me tell u where the obesity problem stems from (besides the fact that black american females r lazy and do not watch what they eat...let alone know the effects of what they put in their bodies), it stems from the left over grime that the cracker so called master use to throw away that our ancestors made food out of. i mean look at the black american female compare to the black Afrikan woman!! there is no comparison really in terms of the body structure!!

@MachinateTDK you have generalized terribly here. there are more than a few black women who have excellent body structure, and many african women who dont lol. let's get real here.
but in america where obesity seems to be the norm it is time for black women to take a stand against junk food and commit to being the beautiful women we were born to be. it has nothing to do with african vs american. i'm tired of africans coming to this video and thinking africans are somehow the shit vs af-ams.
