how bout the fact that sistas are just lazy azz fatt fuchs who think they the shyt and will never grow old gracefully,most could care less about losing weight cause theyve been told over time that big is beautiful until some doctor starts talking about cuttin limbs off ur fat azzes then you think its time to get busy.i belong to a health spa and most sistas just arent into it(if you have to push urself every other day to do it then youve already lost the battle)it has to be part of ur lifstyle or forget it.as far as the food is concerned that is the biggest drug in the black community(if i could only figure out how to sale gravy and biscuts on the black market)face it people sistas are greedy as hell when it comes to food and shoes!!!!!!

@Jm_B1love
Which most black women will likely blame on some black man, I know. lol Point being, you can manage these things with changes to your LIFESTYLE! Simple as that. Eating healthy, working out (if even for 15 minutes a day), and having a better attitude about your own health contributes. Black women are also the leading in new people infected with HIV, and all these other issues. We need a REBOOT of black females’ mentalities towards life, because it’s clear that many don’t care. You guys are putting yourselves in jeopardy, then making up stupid excuses for why it’s that way. The gym is a great start. I have to watch nothing but flat, pale ass in my gym, and I’m becoming seriously frustrated, so can I see some more black ass in the gym, ladies??? Thanks.

It has EVERYTHING to do with hitting the gym. Genes need to be exorcised off, by exercising them off. You need the gym to counter the other stupid things you do each day, like over-eating, or overstressing, as JM_B1love pointed out. The gym actually helps you with your hypertension and much more. You have to get your body to move, and work like it should, and sitting on your ass, eating bon-bons watching Oprah won’t do that. Not all blacks cooked soul food, mind you, and black men could beat off a lot of these issues because they were active. Soul food is loaded with protein though, put that protein to work in the gym and it will reward you! So gym does work! Even Tyra said she ate what she wanted when she modeled, but had to hit that gym to counter- plus her forehead has its own stomach. I don’t think of the gym for physical reasons, I think of it for health reasons. The only black women in the gym are strippers, because there is money tied to their physical looks!

Odoggz, stress is also a major contributor of obesity. (Fact) Black women are ALSO leading in the number of single parents in the U.S. That may not be the actual reason, but it makes some sense to me.

odoggz,
Obesity has nothing to do with NOT hitting a gym…Has to do with horrendous eating habits. It’s highest among black women because of our background,history for all that cooking and those ‘soul food’ moments….Im not saying stop it cold turkey, just moderation folks…

Well black women are not going to do all this. So many are unhealthy, the CDC’s site has black woman leading as highest with obesity, and a whole host of issues. How the hell did it get that way? Yall need to go hit the gyms and do yoga, man. I’m really disappointed, especially seeing what’s happening in NY.

HB is a trip…They post articles about black is natural and beautiful YET they showcase women who live and die by the plastic surgeon…So what are you saying HB? Bottomline, you SAY black is beautiful naturally, BUT you want to SEE the unnatural….Great message guys…
