Wow..this is an interesting one. Women lying about their bodies. That’s clear on most social websites (especially black planet). Just take a tour and you’ll quickly see how many women confuse the word “thick” when they are clearly and simply “fat”.
Let the debate begin.

I agree @ JazzyCreations. I also like how you just didn’t say “black women”, because there are plenty of non black women on this site that claim they’re “thick” as well!

Good article, cuz there are some chicks out there that misuse the “thick” title. I think we should definitely whip out the body mass index (BMI) and tweak it for sistas. for instance, the world knows that for someone 125 lbs to 168 lbs, a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is Normal. A BMI of 25 to just under 30 is overweight, and anything after that is obese. But sometimes there is the need to nudge the BMI 1 or 2 points for thick sistas with mad, proportionate curves. Thus, a helpful “thick chick” measurement would be the maximum normal BMI (which is 25) plus 2 points = 28. Thus, my “TCM” (Thick Chick Measurement) comes to 28 BMI. If you’re over 28, you’re in that overweight/obese category. Keep in mind, your Chest/Waist/Hips measurement must also be proportionate to what we consider curvy – thus, no Tasmanian devil shapes would qualify. Just my two cents :-)

If u can pinch more than an inch then you’re fat ladies… your welcome.

I dont agree if you can pinch more then a inch your fat LOL or you must not know what a inch is LOL. But its really not about that its how you carry yourself!!!

I am sure you can pinch more then an inch on my but was never told I was fat but hey every one is entitled to there own opinions RIGHT

lmao @ this title! y’all are gonna piss some women off with this one…

and i agree with BeautifulSun1. women of other races misuse the word “thick” as well. you can see it all over this site…

LOL OK HERE YOU GO ………1, IF YOUR BUT IS SQUARE YOU FAT
2. IF YOU CANT SEE YOUR V****A WITH OUT LIFTING YOUR STOMACH UP YOU FAT.’
3. IF YOU ASKING YOUR FAT U FAT S**T A SKINNY MF KNOW THEY SKINNY
4. IF YOUR FRIENDS FROWN UP AND MAKE SLICK COMMENTS YOU FAT
5. IF YOUR KIDS HAVE GOOD GRADES AND STILL HIDE THE PTA WEEK NOTICES YOU FAT AND CANT DRESS 6. FAT SURROUNDS MUSCLES BUT COTTAGE CHEESE SURROUNDS THE FAT

LOL I’ve had this discussion with my exes and recently saw on this guy’s page that “if it jiggles it’s fat”. I couldn’t stop laughing Charvon’s “fat surrounds muscle but cottage cheese surrounds fat”. Very clever. I think, in all honesty, we women do hide behind these terms in any race. The most I’ve heard it from is on BP. lol Cuz being a Latina–if you’re fat you’re whole family tells you to stop eating and gives you a family diet–the type that they give you dirty looks if your mama hasn’t smacked you for grabbing too much food. LOL They don’t cover it up. They tell it like it is. And yes–health problems come with it–even more so it’s a self esteem issue. Women who use I’m thick and are way more than that–usually know they’re not, but have to use the term to not hate their body. There’s some big girls that do look good though. I’ll give em that! Just cuz they’re big–it don’t stop em! I see em rockin all of their bigness out with a sexy man on the side, hair done, nails done, and walking with their heads up high cuz they know they all that n a bag of chips. To each her own!! I’m not hating one bit! As long as you’re monitoring your health with your doctor and you’re healthy as a horse then go ‘head mamaz!! Do you!!

On a similar note–what’s up with the fellaz using cute/sexy/fine anything on their screen names to describe themselves when they look like Freddy Jackson???? Come on yo! I know some of the ladies on here got that same problem. You know damn well you coulda used something different to describe yourself. TIP: Use an asset you REALLY do have to describe you.

thick means not all loose and big, it means tight and big (mostly muscular base or hard fat base). When you put on tight pants, to hold and mold your loose fat, it looks like you’re thick, because it doesn’t jiggle around, but you’re really not thick. Peep this -> http://www.assmatrix.com/thick.htm

The way I can tell if a girl is fat on BP is if all her pictures are face shots taken while she is holding the camera above her head and pointing it down. If 75% if her pics look like this then there’s a good chance she’s a Hostess fan…

BY THURSDAY THIS BOARD IS GONNA BE FULL COMMENTS .. ANGRY FAT CHICS. ANGRY THICKS CHIC… ANGRY DUDES WHO ” DONT ” DATE FAT/THICK CHICS BUT THEY MAIN CHIC IS REALLY A FAT B***H.. LIKE I CAN ALREADY SEE IT ..SMFH …

Are You Thick Or Fat your damnself…thats what I want to know? Your size depend on you and how you look depend on you as well so what someone else might think of you shouldn’t matter unless they taking care of you and paying your bills. Im so sick of a$$holes who keep pointing at the black women(race)as being obese. How is that when there is less of us or is that a lie too?(JMO)

Fat chicks get theirs jus like skinny and thick females, so if u fat be happy hell its alot of men out there that will love u 4 that. U’d be surprised. And with that dudes need to stop tellin chicks they thick. Dependin on the female she may begin to believe it.

im fat n so wat but Torrid makes me look thick lol

If you look down and can’t see your toes and you’re not pregnant, sorry hun but you’re fat. If you dance when it’s time to eat, yeah, you’re fat. But I will admit, I’ve seen a lot of white women on here that call themselves “thick” but just as big as a Buick.

I met a chick on a blind date once , who said she was thick when we talked on the phone.

300 pounds is not thick , some use this as an excuse.

Hmmmm…I’m gonna beg to defer with this journalist. As of now, I am SERIOUSLY trying to lose weight because I have some plaguing, debilitating and life threatening illnesses. My doctors sat me down and engaged me in an in depth and FRIGHTENING conversation about what my health will be like in just a few short years if I continue to allow myself to carry this extra “baggage”….however, I have gentlemen visiting my site–who are in their 20′s and 30′s primarily–telling me how “beautiful”, “gorgeous”, “sexy”, and “erotic” that they feel I am–(they’re probably salivating like Pavlov’s dogs right now)–AND, MIND YOU I’M OVER 50 YEARS OLD, 5’8″ TALL AND WEIGH 275 LBS, BONE DRY!!!! Some have even posted some of my pics as their favorites…this is very humbling and flattering to me, and makes me very happy.

God has also blessed me with a wonderful, kind, conscientious, hard working, loving,IRRESISTABLY SEXY AND HANDSOME gentleman– who is concerned with my size ONLY because he loves and is concerned about ME. At one time, I was a constantly working full figured model and was considered to be a “knock out” according to the “reps” at Dillards, Lane Bryant, and Macys…I was even blessed to have some of my pictures sent to N.Y.C. It’s nice to have people say that I’ve “still got the goods”. This, mind you,occured during a time when the mere thought of BBWs modeling was an ATTROCITY– it was felt that a woman/young girl bigger than a size 12 couldn’t possibly look good in ANYTHING. I know that this may seem cruel and audacious to some, but there were quite a few fashion designers who flatly REFUSED to design and/or manufacture clothes for full sized figures. Once they realized that there was a huge and flourishing market for the needs of the full figured woman, they had to “eat crow” and had a DEFINITE change of heart! (da-da-da-dot ta-da –MONEY!!!) Thank Heaven for the Playtex lingerie company! (smile) One of the things that I’m most proud of that have occured in my lifetime is that I, along with countless other beautiful full figured women helped to tear down those cruel and negative stereotypes that so plague,emotionally bruise and depress BBWS. Remembering and reflecting upon this makes me very grateful to those who supported me in my endeavors and to Almighty God

I fall into the thick category. I am happily thick….Thick to me is a round butt, ample hips and thighs, full breast BUT thin mid-section. As far as weight is concerned it needs to be height/weight proportionate but generally no more than 180-190lbs. I prefer thick…it looks good in my clothes as opposed to the 98lbs I was prior to having kids. Having grown up affectionately being known as “skeletor” by my brothers I proudly embrace my new status. Now its up to me to maintain it by working out. I do light weight training and take a spin class 3 days a week. It helps maintain my cardio and keeps me out of the high risk diabetes,high blood pressure and heart disease categories.

Im old school and never in my life have referred to myself as “Thick” or any of the cliche’ dumb badges of honor ppl try to convice you to own. I also never referred to mtself as a “ride or die chick” or a “Biotch” or what is it now “Bad B***h” to me its generally MEN and misguided women behind that very foolishness. In time folks move on to new gimmicks. In regards to “thick” verses “Fat” there is a very obvious diffrence and we all know it. Usually it’s some dude trying to flatter you by calling you “Thick” when you should know better. I wont go so far as to say I’m happy being fat cus no one shud be but Thank God I have been blessed thus far to not have ANY health problems. I know plenty of healthy folks who do but for ANY of us that can change at ANY time. I was born over ten pounds and am almost forty. I have had a long time to accept and luv myself and being proportioned and cute helps…But no matter if its your health,your mind and your spirit, shouldn’t we all continue to work on ourselves and improve? The moral of the story is to be honest with yourself. Ppl love to refer to themselves as someone who “Keeps it Real” to me that usually means you have no tact and usually lie alot. BTW if you don’t like Fat chicks here is a simple solution…dont mess witt em. I don’t like dudes witt lil dilz and Bytch Azz ways, so I avoid em

Very good article!

Yes, listen to someone who writes for a world wide column and says “Don’t worry about LOOSING any weight…” instead of LOSING weight. A simple proofread…
But yes, there is a difference between thick and fat.

Fat is a choice. Unless you have some other problems which caused it. It’s pretty simple to do something about it. Eat right, diet, and exercise. How hard can that be? Sad part is, rarely do I see black women working out. Why is that I often wonder? The Boondocks made a claim about black women not wanting to sweat out their perms. Not sure I buy that, still, there has to be a reason why so many black women don’t workout. From my times as a personal trainer, too just my own workout sessions, black women are few and far between. But you are definitely right. There is a big difference between fat and thick. And fat women have hijacked the word in order to feel better about themselves…imo

You are right there are alot of overweight fat black women, just like there are white, puerto rican, asian, haitan…. I’m not going to let ya’ll dog out black sisters. It’s just not happening, I’ve seen all shapes, sizes, and colors baby, so it’s not just black, so lets not get it twisted…….I’m tired everytime I look around there are negative comments about black sisters, instead of downing a black sisters, and always saying negative comments, incourage them, and maybe they will lose the damn weight!!!!!!!!The only race that I have seen that’s not overweight is the Chinese women, and man because they don’t eat any meat, they only eat fish n’ rice, and they take herbs, they don’t go to any american doctor because they have their own doctors, herbal doctor, etc, I seen it with my own 2 eyes……Holla back……

@buttermeltmesoftly.. Facts from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This is an issue in our community. The sooner we recognize it and are REAL about it, the sooner we can focus on a solution.

Obesity and African Americans

* African American women have the highest rates of being overweight or obese compared to other groups in the U.S. About four out of five African American women are overweight or obese.1
* In 2007, African Americans were 1.4 times as likely to be obese as Non- Hispanic Whites.
* From 2003-2006, African American women were 70% more likely to be obese than Non-Hispanic White women.
* In 2003-2004, African American children between ages 6 -17 were 1.3 times as likely to be overweight than Non-Hispanic Whites.

90% OF THE WOMEN THAT CLAIM THEY ARE THICK ARE FAT AS HELL AND JUST DON’T WANT TO BE CALLED WHAT THEY REALLY ARE, HELL IF IT’S TRUE GET OVER IT WITH YOUR FAT OVERWEIGHT JUST LIKE A DAMN WOMAN TO WANT TO HIDE THEIR AGE AND WEIGHT WITH THEIR DUMBASSES IT’S JUST NATURAL TO BE FAT IF YOU OVER EAT SO FACE THE FACT YOUR ASS AIN’T THIBK U R FAT AS HELL WOMEN.

@buttermeltmesoftly no ones down playing black women thats just the truth there are other races of people that are overweight we just have to face the facts we as black people are ignorant thats something else we have the face we eat soul food which is by far the most unhealthy food u can possibly eat we grow up eating that and u are destined to become overweight. none of us really exercise none of us really dont eat right we eat pork and red meat everyday we eat 3times a day which is really not good for u we just need to take time out to care for our bodies and stop being lazy.

@caramel dream03 – When did Queen Latifah’s stomach get flat? I’m not sure I ever recall her showing off her midsection.
@burgstyle82 – too many head shots are a major problem on most women’s pages BP.
If you dont think you’re fat show your entire figure. We’re not asking for nude shots. Regular head to toe pics will be fine.
But hopefully this will help women understand that misuse of the word is unfair especially when describing yourself to a man on here. Show a photo and make sure it’s a recent one. The outdated Thick photo doesnt count if your 30lbs heavier living off the attention of your “thick” photo. Keep it real ladies.

Thank you thewunyouneed….youre comment made the most sense out of all the ones above yours…..ITS a dam shame is what it is… OVER WEIGHT IS OVER WEIGHT… some of us can still be healthy with a lil weight.. but WE all KNOW that there is a difference between FAT, THICK, PHAT, ect… I personally acknowledge that Im a FATTY and am also doing things to not always be a FAT ASZ.. I will never call it what its not…
SOME “MEN” love extra flesh on a woman and some do not…Big women of all shapes and sizes need to be more health conscious and less conscious about what men,the media and or fat haters say…. Regardless of your size you have to love yourself…and do what you need to do to be a healthier self…but always keep in mind that IF you love you as you are….thats confidence and real men can appreciate a confindent woman…
I know skinny or size 10 or less is still prefered by most…sad thing is even many of those women who are “prefered” still have low self esteem and poor body image… sooooo….it boils down to confidence and self love…so you can always gain or lose weight but IF you DONT love yourself as you are at any given moment… NO ONE ELSE WILL.

@buttermeltmesoftly – dont go and blame us for the reason why women are overweight and remain that way. See that’s the problem yall have in relationships overall. Passing the blame instead of taking the responsibility to live a healthier life style and get back to a legit “thick” size. Remember you cant ENCOURAGE anyone who wont admit they have a problem in the first place. In fact, in most cases hearing it brutally honest from us makes it worse in the first place. If you see your girlfriend in this state, help her out. How about you encourage her first?

Wow seriously? I know I am a Fat chick I would never say that I am a Thick Girl. If God intended on us to all be skinny then we would all be size 5′s or whatever. Not all fat people are lazy or like to eat all the time sometimes we have stress in our lives and some people turn to drugs, drinking, or even food. We have bad eating choices. You do have the decision to change that also. I have lost 80 lbs in the last 6 months and I am still losing weight. I think i am very sexy regardless if I am fat or not. Some men that have commented on this talk all this ish about you Fat this or you Fat that would probably still F**k a Fat girl and just keep it on the low. Ladies I am not saying it is right being obese try to lose those pounds but if you are happy with your size and not having health problems than keep doing what you are doing. If you dont love yourself nobody else will and there are plenty of BBW lovers out there.

@JazzyCreations not all fat girls just use head shots cause boo i have plenty full body pics on my page and i am def a big girl….i’m not ashamed of my size or whatever. I feel that if you see my page and dont like me click to the next page. You wont hurt my feelings because everyone has their preferences..

@truttiepeaches. I’m not talking about those that do show full body pics and are up front about their size. You are in a small percentage sweetie or at least a smaller percentage than those that keep most of their photos from the NECK UP! Not out to hurt anyones feelings, just stating facts! I appreciate you. Peace.

I’m a BBW or what some of you may call fat and proud of it. I’ll do something about my weight when I feel like and not until. Either love me or leave me but take me as I am.

I have to say I’m jiggly…lol.

This is a good thing to point out. The average sistah is beautiful, but d*mn, you look better alive than dead from health problems. Everybody looks fine the way they are. But if you are taking medicine due to weight issues, you’ve got to change your eating habits and hit that gym. As a matter of fact, lets do that before the problems come. Why do people wait ’til things get out of hand to start trying to get healthier. We need to prevent this obesity problem, cause as we all see it’s hard trying to fix it.

I don’t believe in naming a body type because every woman’s body is different. A woman that weighs 200lbs can be a size 16, and a woman that weighs 150 can be a size 18. It depends on your height and where your weight sits on you. For a woman like myself, with thick thighs, smaller waist, a hefty butt and chest, hell, its hard not to be fat! General sizes and conceptions of weight are not made for disproportionate women like me that a lot of men consider “thick.” I’m not hung up on what people think. I go to the gym 4 times a week, keep myself looking good and have no problem getting men. Thats more than you can say for a lot of women much smaller than I.

I just hate when fat girls call themselves everything but what they are. I do not find anything wrong with being fat but first it was big boned, then it was thick or BBW. just be fat, and carry yourself as a fat yet sexy woman. Since I am skinny I am going to start refering myself as aerodynamic or sheek since it sounds so much better than skinny! LMAO Dont get me wrong my queens I love you the way you are. I love the suppleness of the skinny ones all the way to the fat ones but I am just saying!

Funny to see that there are actually men on her who are responding to this than women!why are yall commenting on this?yall never satisfied anyway..the woman can be fat, thick,skinny,chubby or whatnot yall still complaining,cheating on her and looking for the opposite!so yall better STFU nad let the women comment on this one and oh NO ONE IS PERFECT not even YOU!thnx…

p.s:Actually men who complains about a woman’s shape are the ones who have self-esteem issue’s and force their women to be the way they want them to be!SMH…

Obesity is a promblem for black people period and it is not limited to BLACK WOMEN it is a promblem for Black men as well.MEDICATIONS,stress,disease processes,genectics and unhealthy life styles all contribute to Obesity.I cannot imagine people saying they like or love being fat!As a nurse i witness and provide care for Overweight people and the majority are blackwomen/men.The complications and health promblems that accompany obesity is chronic and life threating ex;diabetes,high blood pressure,congestive heart failure,renal disease,blood clots and RESPIRATORY disease,could all be resolvedif people lost weight and changed their lifestyle habits.Its a challenge because it is diffcult to eat healthy an expensive.Obesity is just another condition along with a list of other promblems plaging the black community.

I wasnt going to post a comment but it was the comments i read of the ladies that made me want to write this! I believe in keeping it real –>IM FAT! and no NOT the small waist chubby face Fat i mean the FAT ALL OVER.lol But seriously im just 21 and im dangerously overweight and it was the “I’M THICK”, “BIG BONED” and “chubby” mentality that has crippled my progress this long! I come from a whole family of people who are over weight and it’s not healthy. I’ve witnessed the family members with High blood pressure, Sugar,and heart attacks. Though i myself havent had any health issues YET i’ve taken a stand. I recently made a commitment to myself that i would live healthier by diet and exercise,No it’s not easy but nothing in life ever is.I dont want my life to be cut short because I had too much PRIDE to realize i needed help! Dont get me wrong ladies its nothing wrong with loving yourself and being proud but theres fine line between SELF-LOVE and SELF-DESTRUCTION!-Be Blessed(Taking it day by day)

Norangel3 the dreded question that every man on this page has answered at one point in time is “does this make me look fat?”. The reality is that men are more satisfied with there bodies then women are. Hence so many fat men walking around without a shirt on. (I wouldnt do it but hey gotta give it up to the confident fat guys)I as a man have found myself telling women how I love their bodies witch to include the slight imperfections. (Stretch marks here a slight pouch there etc) I am in the military so I have to stay in shape and my only requirement is that she be happy in her skin and naked!

@Norangel3 Are you nuts If a man does like a Fat girl/woman . The man has a self esteem issues? It’s called having a preference you silly twit

The Bottom line end of story is: If your fat your fat. Not Jiggly,Fluffy,BBW or Big Boned. Woman always talk about keeping it real . Hell you can’t even be real with yourself. And stop hating on woman that watch their diet and choose to workout.
Oh and stop blaming your weight problems on your kids(Baby fat) Their 18 years old now.C’mon Son

I am thick, because while I am too big to be considered petite, I am also too small to be considered large. It would depend on your definition of THICK. When I think of THICK I think of a shapely, curvy possibly even pleasantly plump woman, who has some xtra weight but carries it well. Some people look at the butt to gut ratio , or the waistline to azz to hips and thigh ratio, aka the female form and shape. If you are 5’0 and 350 lbs your azz is not thick , your big ,and there is nothing wrong with it, but know what you are and dress appropriately.

ok. I know I am a “big girl” not calling myself thick or plump etc. Fat doesnt always have to be something to describe someone who is plus size, obese, over wieight or big…
I have a full body shot as my main picture, as well as many other pics, hell I even got about 5 or 6 videos of me dancing on my page ( yes showing some skin). I embrace my size, and I am well aware that I am a “big girl” and a damn good looking one too. I agree with MsTooReal, it doesnt have to be all about looking thin or being the in size of society. Its about plus size women being healthy, and yes we should take into account that we are overweight and plus size. But at the same time, everybody is not the same. Some people could have a hard time dropping the pounds, and some could shed it right off. Everybody doesnt have the money to “eat healthy” at time or afford a gym membership, but that doesnt mean we shouldnt watch what we eat or be active. I am very active, and flexible. I stretch daily, and dance daily. There is nothing holding me back from loosing weight but myself. And I am fully aware of that and this has
been something on my mind.
I am a beautiful ass chick and loosing wieght would make me ever more beautiful lol. But, on a serious note, I feel like being fat in some cases is an ok thing, but when you are obese it then becomes a problem. Being obese is not healthy for those who are older. As well as those who are younger because it will catch up when you get older. I am taking in account of my size, and I am trying to get to an healthier stage. But I must say I love being a Sexy red BBW!!!
Just could get at an healthier size…

@Norangel3, what are you talking about? You all over the place. And no one is complaining about a woman’s shape. The point is there is an obesity problem with black women, period. I’ve seen a lot of overweight women who have posted here, and agree that they have some work to do. Don’t let the facts get in the way of that mindless drivel you posted.

thetiptoebandit, Thank you brother, you have the BEST comment yet!

Charvon, “5. IF YOUR KIDS HAVE GOOD GRADES AND STILL HIDE THE PTA WEEK NOTICES YOU FAT AND CANT DRESS”

You KNOW we ‘bump heads’, but #5 is hilarious!!!

By the way, I don’t call myself thick, fat, ‘PHAT’, big bone,super thick, (HAHA! that one is hilarious!!), or anything else…dont want my bubble busted ya know….

My grandmother always told me, Never brag or talk about yourself, just stand back and let that man do it for you, or run the risk of gettin ya feelings hurt!

Well I’m a beautiful black & asian woman and I’m VOLUPTUOUS! EAT YOUR HEART OUT…MUAH :-)

I am a size 2 and I hear alot of discriminating against me..Trust this ladies, I have tried the gaining the weight and with this super high metabolism I cant. Im tired of people picking on us little ones and make it seem like we starve ourselves especailly when we eat everything in sight..I think we are all beautiful and all the media hype is screwing us all over…I have seen a lot of big women I am envious over and I hear the same thing from the big women to me…We never seem to be happy…..

BadChik4U, i love your post!

To svnjewels: I dont know how the folks are where your from but from what I have seen and witnessed it’s USUALLY some fool ass man referring to a woman as THICK. I have a male friend that is black and a male fitness trainer and YOU should be aware that your industry had very few black fitness trainers and ya’ll were as rare as a black woman workn out. My friend has been in the industry five years and had a hard time getting clients (white female) ones now that could be for many reasons but I digress, my point is that black women have started to change their thinking on working out in recent years. Considering that our culture in general was not one that embraced fitness and health is it any wonder? Our race has soo many things to worry about that other races are not burdened with and they have the luxury of Yoga and taking a jog. We sometimes forget to care for ourselves and are addicted to the soul foods we were raised to cherish. I guess black women will start workin out more when bllllllck en start gtting tei prostate nd colons cheked on a regular ; (

btw: I wish some women would stop using this post to plug their ample thighs and breast etc and mixed race, cus really what are u sayin and wtf cares???

Black women will start workin out more as soon as black men start getting their prostate and colon checked on a regular. We as a culture have started collectively to care more about our physical and mental health. In recent years you wouldn’t see black folks talkn about going to get counseling or seeing a phychiatrist either but we are hopefully evolving as a culture. This is not another oppertunity for black men to blast or single us out bcus were all in the same boat..no pun intended ; )

Nice to see all the ‘confidence’ we got goin on here today….

*crickets*

FAT IS WHEN YOUR GUTT STICKS OUT……THICK IS WHEN EVERYTHING IS PROPORTIONAL…YOUR WAIST MATCHES YOUR HIPS AND THIGHS AND LEGS AND STILL GIVES YOU THAT HOUR GLASS SHAPE…NO MATTER WHAT SIZE YOU ARE AS LONG AS YOU GOT DA HOUR GLASS SHAPE AND YOU OVER 150 POUNDS YOU ARE A THICK WOMAN…YOU AINT SKINNY NOR PETIT ANYMORE UNLESS YOU GET DAT WIAST DOWN AND EVEN THEN ITS GO BE WAR GETTIN THEM JEANS PASS THEM HIPS….I LOVE TO SEE THEM JUMPIN IN THEM JEANS LIKE THEY AT A POTATO SACK RACE….LOL…WITH THOSE THICK LUCIOUS HIPS…MMMMM

I’m Thick & Proud, No Doubt!

THICK WOMEN CHANGE THE GAME!

Fat or thick just make sure you take care of your health…bottom line.

@thewunyouneed, come on now! Did you really just play the prostate angle? Seriously? What you eat is a choice. Getting your prostate examination is generally required for men OVER 40. Not sure the point or correlation you’re trying to make here. That’s like saying, we’ll starting getting our prostate examination as soon as you get your annual examination. What does one have to do with the other? Kinda like your prostate and working out analogy. I’m thinking there might be a hint of sarcasm in there..lol However, I do agree that black folks have a stranglehold on the word thick. Therefore it has really lost its meaning in some aspects. But, you said more and more black women are working out? That’s great, I just haven’t seen it. Another thing, too many other issues to worry about? My life is not micromanaged by what day to day issue I may have to deal with. You still gotta take care of yourself.

All fat people are thick. All thick people are not fat. Each one is beautiful. Neither are thin. I love fat people. They are sensitive and realistic. Thick people can be snobs.

Well I was going to comment more but looking at ‘lil_mommee_05′ pic just took my mind right off what I was going to say. WOW.

*trying to clear my mind*

@thetiptoe,I get your point and thanks for clearing it up!:-)

@Maxim, u the silly one!i suggest, u go reread what I’ve posted!I said men who complains about a woman’s shape are the ones who have self-esteem issue’s so they force their women to be the way they want them to be!THANK U…

@Jewels, I’M THE F**K WHERE I WANNA BE!

enough said.

@Jazzwatch, LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO it was MEAN but too funny to not to laugh!

@Norangel3, I look fat? LMAO..OK, whatever helps you cope sweetie. I look fat..gotta LMAO again at that one…

@Jewels, keep LOLING cause thats the best way to cover the embarrassment!now I LMAOOO!

@svnjewels

umm…there are alot of black dudes who are pushing the envelope with obesity as well, let’s NOT EVEN get it twisted…

It’s always good to be in good shape. Being fat is unhealthy and even if you are thick don’t let yourself fall into the fat category because some people are not to far off. The food we eat is the main cause of the problem you have to make eating well your lifestyle and not a diet.

No Offense to ANYONE, but people, we need to step the healthy game up. Drink more water and lay off the fatty processed foods. More Fiber and whole grains, and for goodness sake, skip the USDA and their Certified Meats!!

Educate yourself and eat to nourish your body, not get full. The “Itis” is pure nonsense You sit down drowsy after eating is because you’re suffering mild insulin shock and about to become diabetic.

I am 44yrs old, 6’2, 205lbs, with 1% gray hair. No balding, receding hairline, bad breath or skin odor. LOL I am on NO medications and I do not struggle to stay fit. I just eat right and stay active physically and mentally. Yup, keep that colon healthy and stop being drowsy, sick, tired, and stuffed.

I remember all the cute phatty phat girls that would never date me when I was coming up. Mostly ALL of them that did not lose the weight are now sickly with major health issues, tons of medications, or dead. Meanwhile, I have more energy than I did at 22. Black men and our children are not exempt either.

Stay healthy in mind and spirit, and by all means, walk good.

Im Fat and I know Im fat but I dont care, because Im happy and I love food and as long as KFC and french toast still exist I will remain this way for life.

Im out

I’m fat and I’m not gonna take it anymore.
The women in my office–all of the black ones– are fat and some obese.
Don’t get it twistd cuz I’m black too. I want 2 be the change I want others to become.

But first, I have to become.

Also, I give myself rewards like music cd’s or downloads 2 add to my MP3 playa when I reach anew goal, like I exercised for 45 minutes 5-days a week.

Winter

I’ma leave this one alone….but thick women can be addictive!…(lol!)…

We also need to correct the word bbw, just because u are big dosent mean that u are big and beautifull! Ive met alot of buw’s (big ugly women) that claim that just because they are big they are big and beautifull!! MESSAGE!!!!

Norangel13, what ,about the thong????? But, PHAT H-O-T-T-I-E, I’m just telling it like it tizzzz :)….

I’m sothey wrote this article cause really alot of these women i met off of these sites talking about they thick and do you have a nice ass,you be surprised at the ones i met that say yeah and when you meet them itwide and flat i be like wtf?yeah alot of females need to come to that conclusion that your not thick your fat,and just because your big doesnt mean your bbw

I wasn’t going to touch this one, but I couldn’t resist (lol). Hell, I can still see my meow (the kitty kat) when I stand up and when I sit down, its’ still able to breathe without my tummy smothering it( am I still fat? rotflmao). And my thighs are thick however they only touch about a inch and a half down (not down to my knees). Okay let me be a little more serious.

Okay now,I have been called it all, fatass, thick, big bone, healthy, plus-size, chubby, big girl and so on. Yeah, I can tone up some however, between my family business and school I will in do time (lol). Wait, did I just go in on my self? Lol naw, I’m just being realistic however I still hold the confidence of a chick that walks a runway.

Any who, I realized one thing, their is someone for everyone and all men do not grade and judge women the same. You have men that looks at a size’s 0-6 and think anything beyond that is fat! So it depends on the individual. And, who are we to tell people what looks good and what doesn’t? So, leave these men alone that wants to call someone thick that you may feel or see as “fat“. Just because it’s not appealing and attractive to you that doesn’t mean someone else wouldn’t see the attractiveness in them! I’m soooooooooooo glad that I have a “realistic man” that judged my “character” rather then my surface! Some of you men have no room to talk and better yet a “ Fat” girl may be your soul mate, but you would never know that because you only look for smooth surfaces!

Ok now seriously if you have to literately pick up your leg to cross it then you may want to stick with being fat! 2. if your tummy hangs over your private area when you stand up and sit down then you may want to stick with being fat! 3. if your face looks like it’s your neck’s conjoined twin then you may want to stick with being fat! 4. If your back looks like a pack of Nathan’s wieners then you should stick with being fat! 5. If you can’t wash your own back (not talking about folks with defects such ass short limbs) then you may be a fatty. 6. If your heels looks like you can make selling crack, an occupation then you are a possible fatty. LOL, ya’ll I just had to lighten (lol get it) the forum up a bit.

when you put on your outfits…and the first YOU and everyone notices is
YOUR GUT…
then you aint curvaceous baby girl…YOURE FAT
NOW YOU CONVINCE YOURSELF YOU ARE CURVY BUT
NOT EVERYONE ELSE SIMPLE…if you cant run for your bus to work or climb a flight of stairs…
just cuz a couple of guys like BIG(FAT) women it doesnt mean you should put your health at risk from diabetes,heart problems or types of cancers?

You know people shouldnt judge other people. Im sure the people that are overweight know the risk they have being big so i think we shouldn’t be so mean because im sure they have enough to deal with. So put up a topic that needs to be talked about. Put up a topic saying why cant black women get along!

Yup, Teresa Perkins is wide as all outside…. you will see her rolling down the street. When you get in her rusty old water logged 4X4 get in the back cause she is sitting on both seats in the front, and hold your nose. DAYUM!

@Norangel3, sweetheart if you see me as fat, then you definitely must see Gabby Sidibe when you look in the mirror, so I’m cool with that. @sweet_dream, never said there wasn’t.

there is thick, and there is fat simple like 300 400 pounds thats not thick, thats obese,and im leaving the fat behind, lol, i was 130 pounds when i graduated college and went up to 289 pounds biggggg jump!over a 10 year period, eating wron, not working out, having kids, not losing the excess weight!but i changed that, been on both sides of the track,but i lost a ton of that in 5 months and still losing, healthy, under doctors care, i mean you can lose 100 pounds and more 5-6 months healthy, i did it! and i walk 3 miles a day 6 days a week,so by the new year i will no longer be in the full figured title , lol, but i say to the sistas who want out of the sizes 20, 24, 26, 28, 32, dress size, that want to go back to the 8, 10, 12,yes it can be done, im doing it,no tricks, no starving, no killing your self in no gym,no nervous , no eating no rabbit damn food! the weight is melting, i want to avoid high sugar,high blood,keep good habits!no more plus size clothes,if you want to be thick, or fat,thats your choice.

LOL this is funny to me. First of and foremost, I am a FAT WOMAN, I never denied that. Yes so many fat women go around saying they’re thick and even labeled F.A.T. as Fine And Thick, but who are we to judge? Thats the problem here, we are all quick to judge folks but for what? Why do we care what the next female calls herself, as long she knows that shes beautiful, confident and cares for herself, no one can tell her anything. The same goes for men who calls themselves handsome, most of us would think this dude aint no where near handsome but he knows he looks good, feels good about himself and takes care of himself, can nobody tell him anything. Also we need to show more support than to put each other down. Yes obesity is still high among blacks but what are most of us are doing to help each other out? Cracking jokes, making fat women the butt of all jokes, give her no attention, treat her like garbage and etc? That would push her to lose weight? NO. And lets not point all fingers towards fat people in general when it comes to health issues. No matter how much you weigh, how you look, IF YOU DON’T TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELVES, YOUR HEALTH IT AT RISK POINT BLANK! There are skinny people with heart issues, blood pressure, diabetes, no difference from fat people. But based on what the media and what doctors has said about overweight people having higher chances in health failure, that doesn’t apply to all fat people. And many of us know these doctors always lying, they know the real facts and truth but refuse to admit that its possible to be fat and healthy. Basically don’t believe the hype. Overall no matter how much a person weighs or looks, people will always complain about other people. If we all looked the same, same height, same weight, same color, same everything, we would be complaining. We as human beings will never be satisfied with anything. Just worry about yourself, take care of yourself, forget what people have to say about you, even if your fat, skinny, thick, tall, short, whatever. Call yourself whatever makes you happy. And for those who keeps judging people, especially towards big women who calls themselves thick, WHO CARES, WORRY ABOUT YOURSELVES!

smh..lol it is a real topic though, because i hell i call myself a big girl..and some chick twice my size wants to say she’s thick :| get tha UHHH OUTTA HERE….but ummm im about to start hitn the work-out…tried it fell off..i will admit that….it’s easier 2 b lazy we all know that…but ay what can i say…I carry it well AS OF NOW…WHEN i drop a few more pounds i’ll carry it even better ;) mmm mmm GOOD lmfao ;)

fluff lady..its cool to embrace your weight or whatever..I even think a few big women are cute but to sit here and put fat and healthy into the same sentence is just plain ignorant home girl. You can sit here and say doctors lie, women lie, or men lie…but the NUMBERS dont…and when that diabetes diagnosis, health condition, or high blood pressure come back aint nothing fabricated or made up about that….keep doing what you doin but know that your bad habits ALWAYS catch up to you..that goes for anybody

I look at it like this, expect the unexpected, but I guess putting that together is ignorant also LOL. I forgot to add, most of us have forgotten “ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME.”

i wouldnt call it neccessarily “judging them” if i noticed a man and said”he’s white” i didnt judge him, i called it what it is. my opinion of thick is when all ur assets-each looks like it would weigh more than ur stomache. alot of chiks do missuse the word thick, cause they know thats what a guy wants to hear, but if ur a big girl, look in the mirror and be honest with urself and rep. ur shape

Too many ladies want to escape the tag of “fat”, so they call it “big”, “big boned”, “thick”, blah blah blah anything to escape being called “fat”. It’s also a tactic, by loser dudes, to exploit this fat women, by calling them ‘thick’, which they know makes the women feel better about themselves, and you can get instant puzzy from this move. It’s a BP favorite technique. You tell a fat chick she’s thick, she knows it’s not true but thinks you might be fooled into thinking so, and she will give you all access. Call it what it is, and move on in life.

The average US woman is not no damn size 9/10. I’ve never in my life heard that statistic. I’ve always heard that the average US woman to be around a size 16.

lol.. im fat. but i been tryin to eat right.. its hard.. but its workin kinda.. highblood pressure all that s**t makes me think bout what im doin to my body.. im no health fanatic.. but i dont confuse thick with fat.. but. s**t.. i like me an sooo do some .. and for those that dont.. welll. hey they got alot to choose from..no losss on either end..

@ svnjewels: Your PIC does make you seem fat.. Not trying to be funny but since we are talkn about being honest and all. But hey my PIC makes me look not fat so wtf? Anyway of course I was being sarcastic bcus some of these comment are phychotic. My point is and was that ALL of us know that as a culture our health collectively was not a priority. Perhaps you sir are the exception to the rule but Im speaking in terms of generalzations. Black men are just now (in the last 5-7yrs) started to take their health more seriously. To me health includes weight management and screenings boo. I work in a hospital and trying to get black men to come for check ups is like trying to get a sistuh to the gym after getting her hair done ; ) Never did I mean to suggest that we have more important things to do but lets not be too idealistic and naive. Bcus if u cant pay ur bills and ur man is lokd up I doubt ur worryn abt ur fatness (p.s. never had a man lokd up lol)

But we are the poorest of communities in America. We ended up with bad diets do to slavery and convience. We ate things we had to back then like chittlins and all kinds of pork. We took the cheapest of foods and salted em up fried em and made it work. Fast forward to today. We are still poor (in general). And under incredible stress and as YOU should know stress leads to belly fat! Let me ask ya’ll a question: Are afluent ppl (whites) generaly skinny and healthier bcus they can afford gym memberships? Or because they have been long aware of the cause and effect of healthy diets working out etc.,? The answer is neither! Studies have shown that we are fatter as a culture because of lack of information and disregard from the medical community and poor eating habits AND listen up everyone BECAUSE… healthier food is more EXSPENSIVE! Realistically to eat the amount of fruit and veggies and grains for a healthy diet you would need to go to the supermarket or farmstand SEVERAL times a weak. If you have kids perhaps more bcus those foods are perishables. fried and fatty foods and sweets have addictive ingrediants. AND old habits die hard. You can look at any medical statistic you like and see that black women AND men are dying from diseases that don’t have to be fatal with the right information and care they can be irradicated. I am not someone who looks at things as black or white, there are many factors as to how we got this way. These are not excuses either just realities. Some ppl point to our race and say that we shud be this or shud be that and want to ignore the cause for the present effect But equally as damaging are those who use the cause as a excuse to stay where they are. The answer is somewhere inbetween. Of course it’s difficult to be honest about something that is socially a Taboo or considered unattractive, so what ppl do out of hopelessness they flip it and make it their own much like women calling themselves Bytches or us referring to ourselves as thugs or Nyggas. Either way I feel that you HAVE to love yourself as you are and be honest about where you need to get to. The same goes for ppl who smoke and drink 24/7 or pop pills or got a bunch of baby mama’s lol u cant hate urself regardless of ur issue just work on it ; )

i love my size just hate my tummy!! can some one help me get rid of it?

odoggz,black priv whatever if thats what u like why are on here? and the same for anybody else… If u dont like it why are u on here? why arent u on the others sights looking at those women? U ppl have it twisted saying that plus size ppl are at a health risk… Some of them are and alot of them not; smaller ppl dont have health issues like diabetes high blood etc…. I AM A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL QUEEN BABY always have always will be so is my momma and shes 60 in great health runs with her grandkids all the time bet she can outrun most of u; we are business owners (seperate) and we handle every aspect of our businesses including field work and we are fat and we love it and my daddy her HUSBAND of 37yrs loves her big ole ass and my HUSBAND loves my big ass and what he calls my hamhocks AND I AINT NEVER EVER HAD A PROBLEM GETTING MEN BABY!!!!! WHAT EVER THE LOOKS NOT ALL MEN PURSUE A BIG WOMEN IN THAT NATURE DUE TO ESTEEM SOME JUS LIKE IT BIG BABY SCREW YAW; THATS CLASSLESS AND AGREGUES. O YEAH AND DID I SAY IM BEAUTIFUL……. I KNOW IT; THANK GOD AND MY MOM AND DAD THEY DID IT. JUDGEMENTAL is the word I look for and lack of awareness of ppl; thank God most of us dont care. That BIG ONE might be your soulmate hell with that being said let me not leave out this that ugly ppl are the most judgemental…… Now is that okay to say? No matter how skinny or fat, short or tall, pretty or ugly (whatever it is to you) beauty really only is skin deep and 95% of working America dont give a s**t about any of that baby know this; base it all you want to on tv music videos whatever no that that star s**t is only 2% of worlds workforce and if it aint making money it aint makin sense (also my company motto) O and did I say my husband is fine as hell too……… get a clue boo

LMAO@’war gettin them jeans pass them hips’…

Man you must have seen me get dressed yesterday! I was for damn sure battling over the hips and thighs….LOL

BTW, some of you are taking this WAY too seriously!

I AiNt Gon Say No names lmao but I see some OF ” THEM ” on these blogs Claimin that Specially the FAT white ones LOL. UmM I don’t kno what havin those body parts have 2 Do with Thick though theirs skinny girls wit breast and azz LOL And some fat people have no Azz

Ok, so I wasn’t going to comment, but MANE!! These comments are so good (entertaining)!! Lol, I mean, we’re going in on this one. But for real though…any of y’all ever heard of “synonyms”? Anybody? Again, we have this bad of making words, already defined, our own and applying them to whatever we want. Why would you categorize others according to your standards and then not want to be categorized according to someone else’s? It’s human nature for us to sometimes concern ourselves with what others think of us, but it’s something incredible and liberating to not. Think what you think for you, do what you do for you, and live your own life.

I hate that we would have to be like, “I’m fat,” “I’m thick,” “I’m this, that and the other” to be considered as being “real” with ourselves (damn shame some of you have to put down others just to make yourselves feel better though). It’s nothing wrong with having a preference of physical features, but none of us have a place in insulting or disrespecting anyone. Overweight, obese. Simply defined (in a somewhat medical terms). Any word you choose to use outside of that is your choice of categorizing yourself. That’s fine! I do encourage us all to eat healthier and exercise for the sake of your life, no matter what size or shape you are. As I’ve seen before and agree, weighing less than someone does make you healthy or “in good shape.” Lol, I tell you now, some of you all’s true character was shown today! WHEW! Let me finish reading these comments. *Oh yeh, to the ones I hit up saying I wasn’t going to say anything, my bad for telling that story.*

O.A.N.: Being “fine, “ “thick,” “fat,” “handsome,” “ugly,” “pretty,” or whatever you crazy kids call it nowadays (lol) is not what will be determined on that day of judgment. *Hand Clap!* YES! I took it there! Lol, so what.

The funny thing about some of these guy’s on here that are down playing the women on here for their weight are the same guy’s that are in the BBW chat room! LMAO I just had to put that out there. Some of ya’ll men just want to converse on here so stop it already with the bs.

Wow..glad to see everyone is giving their opinion on this one. When thick is used properly it’s a beautiful thing – Serena Williams is Thick. No where near fat. Monique is FAT..not thick. Both are beautiful. And you have to give Monique credit she represented the FAT girls from the door. It’s all about self esteem and accepting who you are. If you dont like something, you have the abilitiy to change it. Dont hide behind words to help make you feel better. People respect you more when you show you clearly respect yourself. Peace.

bottom line, everyone has their own defintion of what is “fat” or “thick”. to me, if your weight is proportioned to your height then you are thick. a woman can have rolls and not be considered fat. to all the men: the two hardest places to lose fat from in a woman is our stomach and thighs. it funny to read some of the comments people have left on this one topic. but just so everyone knows, fat girls do get loving too. believe it or not, there are men out there that love more cushion for the pushin’. a woman may look good now but do you really think she will stay that way forever? get stimulated by a woman’s mind before her body

This is the realest article I’ve ever read. For years I’ve been frustrated for NATURAL AND HEALTHY Black and Latino women because the western euro-centric fashion industry has been associating your beauty with obesity. They do that to make you and us (black men) feel like black and brown women’s beauty is inferior to white women’s. Thanks to hip hop that has changed completely.

Now I’m not talking about the sisters with the rolls and guts. What I’m saying is that a healthy Black woman is and will always be thick. I have women in my family who have been thick all of their lives. But according to traditional European culture, they are fat. A Black woman can weigh 120 pounds and have major ass, thighs and breast. A Black woman can weigh 170 pds and have a flat stomach and a small waist along with a juicy round ass that leads to majestic thick thighs. OMG! That’s just how God made them.

It’s the beauty of the Black woman that makes me most proud and HAPPY AS HELL to be Black; because I know that my being Black gives me a major advantage over non-Blacks at dating a Black goddess. Lord have mercy!

Im cute and petite lol

LOL is this really a topic of discussion? Why do ugly a** ppl call themselves fine? Why do tiny p*n!s men say they are hung? Why do ppl say they are young when they pushing menopause or mid life crisis? THAT”S WTF THEY THINK OF THEMSELVES!!!.. WHO CARES! If you’re ‘thick’ or fat, 9 times outta ten you are still over weight. Thick and fat mean the same thing to me. You still fat. You just arent AS fat. It’s so stupid how much ppl care about this. Get a life! Why should anyone care what big ppl refer to themselves as. Is it interfering in your daily productivity?? NO! Some women lie about their age and weight. And men lie about everything else! If you’re talking to a female and you want to know her size… Ask her if she is small, medium, or LARGE… SIMPLE! If you don’t like her size, MOVE AROUND!

@sassy-gemini.
the problem is that the MEDIUM will claim SMALL and the LARGE will say MEDIUM. We’re trying to get to the honesty up front. Use the word thick properly. Peace.

once again, this is very true topic…the thing i dont seem to understand…is men will be the first to jump up and tell a woman how she “should look” how in shape she should be, it MAKEs me laugh sometimes, SPEAKING TO SOME OF THE BLACK MEN HERE..BECAUSE WE’VE SEEN SOME OF YOU SAY ON HERE “YOU DONT CARE FOR BLACK WOMEN” but then u want to come on here and say “you’re just trying to help black women out, for HEALTH PURPOSES” GET REEEEAL RIGHT NOW because we alll know damn well you can say its about “health” thats a good reason to “care” AND STILL PASS JUDGEMENT ON BLACK WOMEN LIKE YOU’VE BEEN DOING this is just another OPPORTUNITY FOR you, but most of the time you’re JUST *talkin-down like hell..so simply be REAL ABOUT THAT….when some of your asses HAVE titts bigger than women…and if ure not big you’re looking like “SEA CREATURES AND GIGA-PETS”…but feel that you should point fingers thats what i dont get about some ppl. SOME OF THE MOST HIDEOUS PPL, LOVE TO ACT AS IF THEY HAVE OPTIONS…..lol. Someone did say it earlier which is true, just because someone is big, doesnt automatically make them un-healthy…because i know i’ve always been a *big chick* even when i was an athlete, working out like hell, and eating right..i was still a big chick…just a solid big chick lol SOME ppl are just “BIG”…skinny ppl have all of the “fat ppl” issues as well..so it boils down to how someone cares for themselves…GIVE THE BODY SOME KIND OF MOVEMENT LOL ;)

@neva1betta
I love the sistahs and date only the sistahs.

THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: SISTERS; STOP CALLING YOURSELF FAT! BLACK WOMEN ARE NOT/CAN NOT BE FAT UNLESS THEY HAVE ROLLS, BODY DIMPLES OR GUTS!!! THIS IS A FACT OF NATURE!

I thought I had made myself clear with my last post. Black women and Latino women are created by GOD to be thick all over; for the most part. Sisters can even be thick in the waist and still have a lean waist, with no rolls. This is natural for you and it is the most beautiful look a woman can have. You are the ONLY women on Earth that were naturally created to look the EXACT opposite of a man. That’s why men of all cultures fantasize about you.

Like I said b4, a BLACK woman can weigh as little as 110-120 pds and she will more than likely be very voluptuous in the ass and thighs. A BLACK woman can weigh as much as 170-190 pds and not have one roll, dimple or a gut, but she’ll still have a round juicy ass that leads to very thick sexy thighs. If you notice she’ll also have a thin face unlike someone of the same poundage from another race. Hmmmm

Most other cultures naturally produce very skinny/flat booty women which is, to most men, too much like the natural way for a man to look. Often when looking at the back of a NON-Black/Latino couple, I can’t tell who’s the male and who’s the female. You know that I’m telling the truth.

Black woman you are God’s FIRST creation. You are the ONLY; I repeat ONLY woman that He ever created with HIS OWN hands; EVER. All other women are DESCENDANTS of the BLACK woman. What does that tell you? Why would His idea of a beautiful companion for the man He created be a Black Woman? Who is the Author of all beauty? God or the Euro/American fashion culture? Who would know best what beauty is? God or this euro-centric culture we live in? Think about it. Someone is benefiting from making you believe that your natural look is obese. I wonder who that could be?

well then MAYBE JUST MAYBE, you know what GOOD IS ;) LOL!

@neva1betta….yes indeed.

The problem with this debate is that one word is positive (Thick) and one word is negative (Fat). Women want to use “thick” because is has a more positive ring to it and at the same time acknowledges that they are not “skinny”. Fat doesnt sound nice to most women so they simply avoid it.

I DONT DO THE HATER GAME BUT I WAS LITERALLY ROTF @ IMNOTURTYPE_619′S COMMENT… I DONT GET IT … YOU HAVE TRASH BAG SWAG LIKE WHO’S REALLY HITTING YOU UP … FAT LEGALLY BLIND CHICS…???

NEXT ……

It really doesn’t matter as long as your healthy cuz that’s what really matters

Hmmm…I know one thing, Not One person I know fits into that Height& Weight Chart in the doctors Office (lol)…But in all honesty, I also know several women Who are way past “Thick”, and Sliding On into “Fat”. Some women (and Men) play Semantics with themselves, to avoid Facing their true weight/&health Factors.

Wow. This is real talk. I’m a plus size girl. I’m working on changing my life and my body. I can’t stand for people to say “girl you’re thick”. No, i’m heavy. I don’t disillusion myself. But at the same time I don’t discount. If people are comfortable being large that’s on them. Just don’t trying to call a whale a sardine. Fat is fat. Thick is thick. Height, proportion, none of that weighs in.

neva1betta, My girl is always on point!

RamsesTemur, My goodness brother! They need to make MORE of you!!

I agree with I need love 18 you can’t put a size or a weight on it I don’t believe everyone was meant to be the same size there are healthy size 18′s etc let’s focus on healthy and not appearance beauty is ever changing in this world and we can’t conform to all opinions of it I myself and trying to trim the fat but not to what some might find pleasing im going for what looks good to me and what feels right to my body.

OMG! This is funny! LOL! That is what is wrong with black people instead of talking about who is thick or fat. We should be getting together to establish businesses and create cities for ourselves. Black people are always quick to talk s**t about each other. Who cares if you are thick or fat or pretty or ugly, you still have a soul and that is what matters!

This article is so real so ladies please take this in consideration.

Serena Williams is thick… Janet Jackson is thick… sherri shepherd is fat. It’s all about the gut-to-butt ratio. Also the BBW label is another issue. Toccara Jones is a BBW. Monique is a FBW. Ladies if you’re comfortable being fat that fine, but fool yourself into thinking you’re something ya aint. I’m 5’9 and I’m taller than the majority of the women I date, but that doesnt have me believing I’m tall. I’m not trying to step on any toes. I see alot of fat women who are super fine and hella sexy, but I don’t think “damn she’s thick”. Again, Serena’s thick, Drake’s gf is thick, Hoopz is thick, Oprah… not so much.

I’ve lost 40 lbs. I’m still FAT…. Im losing more weight and reaching my goal. Its all about taking care of your health too..

just go on the meth diet plan

The word has become overrated due to being misused by people who don’t fit the word.

@Jazzy- LOL of all the things i said you chose the most insignificant part of my post to comment on. My point was AGAIN!Its really not that serious to start a topic about. And Who are YOU or any other men or women to say what’s thick and what’s not? What’s thick to you may not be thick to someone else, and vice versa. Who are you to say what’s beautiful or what’s not? Who are you to say what’s heavy and what’s not? Because they think they are “thick” the world stops turning and comes to an end? Too many idiots posting this nonsense like they have it down to a science… Pathetic. A lot of ppl have a self image you may not agree with. But to post a topic about it is beyond belief.

IMO I think thick and fat are similar. But again THAT’S MY OPINION. Just like your views and everyone else’s. To try and force your views on someone is just plain ignorant. I’m not going to knock somebody because they say they are thick, sexy, fine, built, wonderful, top notch, BBW or anything else. Even if I disagree, I can’t try to change how someone views themselves. If in their eyes they are thick, sexy, fine… then what does it matter to ANY OF YOU!

To: QUEEN DIVA TOYA: I would Love to see a series of Articles on BP/HB talking about How To’s re: Establishing Black Businesses, or Securing Your Financial Future in Old Age, Or Enlightening People about things Like Savings Accounts/CD’s/Bonds, etc. Hope HB is listening to That, As Well…However, physical health is Important, too…You can establish a business, or secure your financial future and then drop dead of a heart attack/stroke/from high blood pressure, etc…as a direct result of not taking care of Your Health. Both are equally Important…and if I was forced to choose, I would have to choose health over wealth, any day…and after getting your health in Order, you can still continue establishing Wealth!

@sassy_gemini
I dont claim to be the expert but as you can see there are many opinions about the use of the word “thick” when you’re clearly fat. I agree with you, thick and fat are similiar. But i also think you can be one and not the other. In your humble opinion which one are you? Thick or Fat?

A lot of these so called “thick” women are just as much in denial as these “Down Low” homosexuals. Fat is fat and gay is gay. Black folks always try to sugar coat shyt and not call things for what they really are. So called “thick” woman have ruined this site. I hate clicking on the avatar of a “ThIcKSeXyAzzDiVa” and when I go on their page it’s some 300 pound escaped gorilla with weave covering half her face or all her pics are from the neck up. And these women are the culprits in flagging many of the photos of the real “thick” beautiful women on this site because they are jealous and insecure.

I love a healthy woman and not attracted to skinny women at all but there’s a thin line between fat and thick. SMH @ someone being “proud” of being severly over weight when in essence it’s being content with being unhealthy. And let’s call it what it really is, LAZY! Cardio vascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity are prevalent among black people in general. I wish I was the health and fitness conscious person I am today. If I know what I know now, I would’ve spread my knowledge on to some family members that have passed on.

@swagger2bagher
Great post. Can you please copy & paste as many times necessary. I’m in total agreement. Listen and learn ladies. Peace.

put it to you like this. you are big if:

1. you have bootydo. if you are unfamiliar with bootydo check out youtube.

2. if you have big arms and shoulder pad shoulders you are big.

3. no neck? yup you guessed it. YOU ARE BIG.

4. if you use a power chair at walmart and you aren’t disabled then you are fat.

5. if you ARE disabled because of your weight then you are F-A-T. lol

I am certainly fat. I still laugh when I see the ‘thick’ adjective being used with abandon. A woman who is true to herself regardless of her size will attract men no matter what. I think men find themselves angry and frustrated when they meet a fat woman with a pretty face and great personality-when they feel as if she would be perfect for him if she weren’t so fat. I have made the mistake of befriending these men, finding myself perplexed when they seemed jealous of my love life until I understood what was happening. I recently joined the gym and have taken the health risks into serious consideration. I feel better when I’m working out too. Food and alcohol provide temporary satisfaction. But, for the long term, a healthy lifestyle is much more satisfying.

While the outward appearance isn’t everything, attraction between the opposite sex starts there. So, I am not angry at some men for having their preferences. But don’t come at me with the whole ‘I don’t want you, but I don’t want anyone else to have you either’ thing.

LOL @ThickSexyAzzDiva

Wow… I MUST get in on this topic! I just want to comment on some peoples comments.. and add on my little 4 cents. 1, I completely agree with Sassy_gemini in so many different ways. Who are we to say what’s “thick” and what’s “fat”? Honestly, can we tell someone what they are, just because society see’s them as being one thing or the other? I mean, yes I even find it hard to believe that a 350 pound woman can consider herself to be “thick”.. Well.. Technically she is thick.. because she isn’t thin.. right? But who am I to tell her what I may think she is? If she thinks she is thick and sexy.. heck, then she is thick and sexy… SOMEBODY out there likes it and agrees.. you and I may just… disagree a little.. OR a lot.. But we honestly can’t put a definition on THICK. 2, I can see where Swagger2Bagher is coming from. If I see a screen name that says “Talldarknhandsome” I expect to see a TALL, DARK, and HANDSOME man.. If I see a man that looks like he is from another planet and is 5’5″, I just might suggest to him that he creates a new name because in my own personal opinion, he’s false advertising himself.. But once again, what i think is Handsome and tall, may be different from someone else.. 3, JazzyCreations, you’re all over the place.. it’s clear that you’re not attracted to bigger women and them calling themselves “thick” just really takes a toll on you, and you seem to agree with every person that disagrees with big women and the whole “thick” thing.. But from the looks of your picture.. you seem to be a little “thick” yourself.. I’m sure your size would be considered as “not in shape” to society.. Or maybe it’s just the picture, I could be wrong…but regardless, I’m JUST saying.. nevertheless, I think that a lot of people tend to look past what’s really the whole point of a human being. It’s not about what a woman weighs.. nor is it about if she got a booty or hips.. thighs.. breast.. it’s about who she is on the inside. Because you can date the most fliest woman in the world, and she can EASILY not be who God placed on this Earth for you.. You can date the most in shaped woman in the world.. and 3 years later after you guys have kids.. she can become severely over weight, and can’t control it. I find it to be ignorant when a man can’t appreciate a woman for who she is.. but what she looks like.. But, that’s how our society works… I guess..

Swagger2BagHer, Gotta agree with you on this one…

Great points and well said…

JazzyCreations, No offense to you at all…

But I don’t think you have much room to speak on what’s fat and thick and all that, or how women should look, when your picture doesn’t exude you being all that physically fit yourself…

I think you should come back when you lookin’ more like ‘Swagger2bagher’…No offense! Im just sayin!

In most of these posts I notice that God is absent from the subject. But if we consider or at least try to consider His views we will probably make progress in separating truth from falsehood.

I agree with those who say that the most important aspect of a woman is her mind and spirit but I disagree with those who go to the extreme and say that’s all we men should look for.

Romance for the most part BEGINS with PHYSICAL attraction. There’s nothing wrong with that. That’s the natural way that God intended for things to go. That’s why He gave us eyes and pheromones. That’s why natural men get hard-ons when looking at women’s body parts. We don’t tell our p***ses to get hard, they just do. Why? Because God made them to do that!

Neither you nor I have ever heard of a dude riding down the street and yelling out “DAMN! CHECK OUT THAT CHICK’S PERSONALITY!” or “DUDE! SHE GOT A SEXY ASS BRAIN! PULL OVER SO I CAN HOLLER AT HER!” That’s not realistic.

Get healthy and stay that way. Exercise and proper eating is natural to human beings. Do that and you will be fine; especially if you’re a sister. In that case you’ll be FINE AS HELL! LOL!

RamsesTemur, “Get healthy and stay that way. Exercise and proper eating is natural to human beings. Do that and you will be fine; especially if you’re a sister. In that case you’ll be FINE AS HELL! LOL!”

See I knew I liked you for a really good reason….LOL!

If you have that “muffin” look at the waist and top of your foot when you wear dress shoes…YOU ARE FAT

If you get winded walking a flight of stairs…YOU ARE FAT…and out of shape.

If you use less than 20 gallons of water in a 40 gallon tub b/c your a%% displaces the rest of the space in the tub…YOU ARE FAT

When you get on public transportation and people sitting alone on a 2 seat bench cringe when they make eye contact with you or avoid it all together…YOU ARE FAT

If you find it difficult to get dressed in changing rooms in department stores…YOU ARE FAT

When you buy a new car and the salesman stresses the point that the car`s seat belt comes with an extension…YOU ARE FAT

When you stand and look straight down and can`t see your feet..YOU ARE FAT..or just got big boobs.

When you shop for clothes and the letter X or the word PLUS is in the size description of the garments that fit you…YOU ARE FAT

When you go to outdoor functions and the host directs you to a dining room chair for you instead of a collapsing lawn chair…YOU ARE FAT…(you may not notice but the legs of that chair have sunk at least 3 inches down in the lawn)

If dropping it like its hot requires help picking it back up…YOU ARE FAT

If you ask your signifigant other “Does this make me look fat?”….and they leave the room…YOU ARE FAT

NOT TRYIN TO BE MEAN LADIES….JUST STATING THE FACTS.

@Califemme – It’s all good over here. And no offense taken. I never claimed to be skinny. And I’m certainly not hiding behind my photo. That’s why I’m standing head to toe straight forward with my head held high.
You see me clearly for who I am and you can make your opinion based on that freely. I aint mad at the fellas with the tank tops flexing, but that’s why I’m dressed the way I am. But please dont get it twisted I aint falling all over the place witht the close off..LOL. Peace.

typo: I aint falling all over the place with my clothes off either..lol..Peace.

Speak on it Ramses! I knowledge what you’re building on, but it’s a two-way road. If our sisters can speak on who is “fine” and who isn’t then they leave themselves open for men getting to determine who’s thick and who isn’t. My issue isn’t about who’s fat and who’s thick. My issue is why are women offended when men have an opinion on the subject. When women speak on Trey Songz, or, Reggie Bush, or T.I., or any other male for that matter… you don’t see men arguing with the women about their OPINION. Yet the moment a brother speaks his mind on a subject regarding women, some go into full attack mode. For me, it all starts in the brain, then matriculates down through the pituitary gland until it reaches your loins. I’ve been on dates with all different sizes shapes and colors. My eyes may have deceived me, but my brain never has. If a woman is not honest with herself about who and what she is she’ll never pique my interest. On the other side of that, self-confidence is attractive. Denial isnt….

SinCityzPerfect9, You talkin apples and oranges bruh…

Ofcourse men don’t argue with women when they talk about trey songz or T.I. etc…WE AREN’T TALKING ABOUT MEN IN GENERAL!

“Is Lance Gross fine?”- particular…
“Are women thick or fat..really?”-Broad

There hasn’t been a topic about men and their physical attributes or lack thereof…

You see the difference there?

But I do agree with the men when they say don’t lie to yourselves, don’t call it thick when its really fat..I agree..

I despise a man that calls himself ‘athletic’ just because he has a multitude of sports attire in his closet…

Just like a bunch of black ass nigga’s worried about who’s fat or thick yet broke as hell working everyday as a damn slave why not make a topic about coming together to start a business who gives a f**k who is fat and who is thick none of that s**t produces money for you.

I agree with this entire article!! As a plus size female who currently weighs 250 lbs I consider myself overweight! I use to weigh 295 lbs and I will never understand why I let myself get so big. Oh and another thing I never blamed anyone or fought for “fat women rights” lol like I see alot of other overweight women do. But since when is weighing 150 lbs consider overweight?? LOL because that is my dream weight! Another thing I never called myself thick not ever! But for those women who do call themselves “thick” but are actually overweight like myself well someone has to be making them think that they are “thick” because I get called that plenty of times but I wont call myself thick when I know damn well I am not. Alot of other big girls might find this article offensive but if they actually listen it is speaking 100% truth!

p.s.

I planning on being down to my goal weight around this time next year! Wish me luck on my journey! :)

What your fat ass need to do is back away from the table and this won’;t be an issue any longer try that fat ass girl.

i agree with the what most of yall r sayin but n order 2 b healthy u hav 2 love ya self n kno who u r n n t all women r ment 2 b skinny lik i lost 10 pounds n im still losin weight but i neva denay the fact i am pleasntly plump i feel lik fat is such a mean word n it doesnt help n buildin ya self up n its an insult rather then motvitaion im amost 2 my goal n i love me 4 me n i dont care what noboy say u hav 2 work with what u got till u can get what u want or where u need 2 b so i stay postive n try 2 stay healthy………………………

All I know is Fat ass women need to stop claiming thick and face the facts you are overweight if you are breaking ppl car suspension and have their muffler dragging.

Bereal34, ok, I see you dropped a few of your famous negative or offensive quotes for attention….You want people to go to your page and hear your music right???

*SIGH*, alright, we’ll all go to your page ok? We all see you said something to get a reaction…We all know you’re alive and well over there…There you have been acknowledged today….happy?

THAT MUSIC AINT SHEEEEEEEEEEET! THERE NOW I’LL GIVE U REASON TO HATE ME A BLACK WOMAN…SINCE URE GONNA SPEAK THAT TRASH ANYWAY..SORRY BASTARD

Becorny34: Does that 34 mean that you are 34 years old? I hope not. Because you are waaayyyy to old to be so childish. LMAO!

Oh SNAP! I just checked your page. It says that you are FORTY-ONE!!! Unreal34: You should be ashamed of yourself.

A man as antiquitous as you are should have learned how to speak to women (especially Black women) when you were being raised by your moms.

Now RealOld34, I hope you don’t have sisters, aunts, a grandmother, or female cousins with that kind of a low-down mentality concerning women; fat, thick or skinny.

TO THE MALE UNDER ME…(I WILL NOT ADDRESS U BY UR USERNAME) IF THIS ARTICLE DOES NOT CONCERN YOU THEN WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU TAKE THE TIME TO COMMENT TWICE??? SMH I TELL YOU ABOUT IGNORANT BLACK PEOPLE..AND IF YOURE OVER THE AGE OF 25 YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF! GRADE A CLOWN!

I don’t know if you’re referring to me sis, because there are several males beneath you (no pun intended). Since you chose not to use a username then I’ll just speak for myself.

I am 36 years alive and I actually commented several times more than twice; because anything that concerns Black women, concerns me.

Why is that you may ask. 1st reason: My Black Grandmother; 2nd reason: My Black Mother; 3rd reason: My Black Daughter; 4th reason: My Black Fiance; 5th reason: My Black Sister; 6th reason: My Black Aunts; 7th reason: My Black Female Cousins; 8th reason: My Black Nieces;

If you were referring to me, I hope this answers your question.

We as black people cannot deny the problem of obesity in our community. Esp. with black women. I’m sick of the fat, black women with attitude stereotypes on television and movies. We, however, must stop giving them ammunition by perpetuating them. I see my fellow sistahs with elaborate hair and extensions for everyday of the week, yet instead of paying for a gym membership or low fat diet, we try to squeeze into spanx. There is only so much spanx can do.

I like Thick/Fat women with flat tummies or six pack abs myself.

mmm RAMSES..U BETTER SPEAK THE TRUTH…DAMMIT I LOOOOOVE BROTHAZ LIKE YOU…U CAN COMMENT 1000 MORE TIMES…LOL ;)

@ Bereal34
If you gotta insult insult someone,you have to do it with truth,flair and a touch of humor. That shyt was just weak. My 15 yr. old can do better than that. If you wanna pizz people off just copy and paste some of my posts.

Norangel12, what are YOU doing on this discussion panel???? You’re not thick, you’re not fat…..you just PHAT ;)….how’s that, H-O-T-T-I-E??????

“Bereal34, ok, I see you dropped a few of your famous negative or offensive quotes for attention….You want people to go to your page and hear your music right???
*SIGH*, alright, we’ll all go to your page ok? We all see you said something to get a reaction…We all know you’re alive and well over there…There you have been acknowledged today….happy?”

HILARIOUS!! Absolutely HILARIOUS! Lol. These are some great posts.

I have read a lot of these comments and frankly I laughed at all of em. There are some good points and some really poor ones. I look at my self in the mirror and I see the jiggles and the rolls, my full breasts and big butt. At the end of the day I see myself as being fat and I’m okay with it. I’m cute, my mother taught me 2 very important things: 1. nothing looks better than a big person that knows how to dress. and 2. love yourself because if you dnt nobody else will. This big debate on fat vs thick is dumb. It’s not going to change anything either. Thee are still going to be ppl no matter the race trying to “squeeze new york into new jersey” and calling themselves thick instead of fat. WHO CARES?! At the end of the day if you can look in the mirror and be content w/ who you are and what you look like then keep on going. Do you. We all watch the news, we all have that one friend that is a health nut that will try to get us to change so that means that we all know the heath effects and if you have big family members you know how it can affect you. So lets stop criticizing either way we have to deal with it. Lets be happy about it and worry about ourselves.

I’m not gonna sit here and lie, to say I’m just a short thick female. I mean dang, I like my frame, but doggonit, I hate my size. I get tired of people sayin I’m not fat, but they have NO CLUE what the scale reads when I get on it. *B***** GET OFF ME!* I hate lookin at the scale. I get discouraged when I go to the gym. Feel sometimes like the weight will never come off. I even changed my diet a LOT. Cuttin carbs and all,drinking more water & and doing more cardio than ever. Shocked myself when I got on the treadmill last week. Could believe I was able to run without getting winded…And for the first time in God knows how long, I actually felt GREAT. Heck, when I get off, I plan on going to the gym this morning, that is if my fat a** doesn’t get lazy and choose to go home instead…LOL…But no seriously, I wanna lose about 35-40lbs cuz I’m short and too heavy for myself. Some guys think it’s sexy, but I say NOT!! I wanna feel good about what I see when I look in the mirror and thus far, I’m not satisfied. The only thing I like about my body’s is my frame and my legs because they’re toned and look good in stillettos, other than that I wanna slim my waist about 3 sizes and get rid of the handles, tone my inner thighs and have a rounder donk…I already have a swayed back so I don’t want it to sit higher, cuz it’s already a WIDE LOAD…Don’t want no granny booty lol…I’ll be darned if I’m saggin around at 30…Got 3 kids, and NOT tryin to look like it

I personally this subject needs to be addressed. It seems that the black women who have the most unhealthiest weight are the first ones to throw on the tighest pair of jeans, or tights, become loud and obnoxious while celebrating thier OBESITY by masking it with the colorful language. I’m tired of hearing “thick”, “big sexy” from half dressed women obese women that can barely breathe walking up steps. If women are offended that should trigger you to make some lifestyle changes, to live a healthy life.

There’s a difference between being thick and being fat. Until we accept this fact, change and adopt healthy lifestyles the African American community will continue to suffer serious diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. I love thick women, my fat sisters I love you also but you need to help yourself so you can live a long, healthy and productive life. Let the above article wake you up to make a positive change for yourself.

Sisters need to be concerened with their health first. Brothers, we do love y’all curves but even I give sisters too much space because I dig those things about Black women. For me, when the stomach enters the room before the breasts that’s a problem. Take Jennifer Hudson: gorgeous before, still cute in Dreamgirls (where she gained weight for the role), beautiful now (losing some weight but not too much).

I’m working on my health & physique and it would be cool for more Black women to the same. But don’t get mad ladies if a fine healthy(as in athletic)woman catches our eyes and attentions if you’re settled into being just ‘thick’.

My ex was a big girl I mean BIG. But she was pretty in the face and had hazel/greenish eyes. 6.5 months of working out together she lost all that and ended up being bad as he11. Unfortunately she stayed in NY but still I don’t discriminate. As long as your face is cute. Must be because my mother’s a big woman and 2 of my sisters are big. But they’re all still married and their children have 2 parent households with 2 incomes.

As a man–I understand women have hella insecurities but its not something that I want to hear about 24/7 if we’re in a relationship. So if women want to lose weight then they need to do it for themselves otherwise you get a chick that will forever be obsessed with the scale and her weight.

Well, even though I gave birth seven months ago, I would say I was fat before then and I’m fat now. But I’m fat, happy and my bills get paid with plenty of food in the fridge for me and my kids. And the most happiest fact is that I’m not fat and desperate or fat and lonely, but love myself most definitely. And bcuz I’m not really interested in being bothered with dysfunctional ass men in the 1st place, I really don’t care what anyone thinks or has to say about my fat assedness!!

to each his/her own…

just BE HEALTHY with it so you can live a long & happy life ;)

Fat, skinny, thick, what does it matter? If you are happy being you it should not matter your size. All I want to say is hold your heads up high and love yourselves sisters. If you are not happy with your life then change it. Why should it be an issue to someone else if it isn’t issue for yourself? I love me, I am blessed whether I am 350 pounds or 130 pounds I am going to always be my biggest fan and that is all that matters. Just ignore the ignorance and do you.

ok,Ok,Ok, lets keep it real, my ass is fat at 6 feet 293 pounds. I just don’t see why females don’t be real with themselves and just admit to being fat. Forget bbw, forget chunky, forget thick, I’m goin to seperate fat from thick right now with two list, a fat list and a thick list you compare an see what list your on;

FAT

MONIQUE (she still got a gut she still fat)
OPRAH (fat but rich, hell I will take her)
GABOUREY SIDIBE (OH MY GOD FAT)
QUEEN LATIFAH (she gets a pass for her pretty face and attitude)
Chick From The View (fat with a bad shape)

THICK CHICKS

BEYONCE
DELICIOUS FROM FLAVA OF LOVE
TYRA BANKS
JLO
AMBER ROSE

NOW COMPARE YOURSELF TO THESE LIST, Thick is when you have thick TONED legs, big ass, big breast are optional, and a small waist, that is what you call thick

I KNOW BIG CHICS ARE GONNA JUMP DOWN MY FONTS BUT THIS IS MY OPINION NOT TRYNA EMBARASS YOU BIG WOMEN WHO ARE FAT AND NOT THICK

This below is what an idiot just left in my notes, look I was not asking for an explanation of what fat and thick was, You are an idiot and very ignorant and I reported you, I am small, I was just saying to be happy with your self.

Wasn’t trying to be rude by sending you that miss 2fly, I thought it was funny and it wasn’t my words it was from another post.

@Jazzwatch, u better recognize! I’M DA SHIIIT& I KNOW IT!lool..

Rosie O’Donnell

It’s important to know the difference because too many entities in this society are promoting obesity as something to be proud of and this is causing little girls to grow up mislead and uninformed of the healthy truth.
It’s silly to get sensitive about the subject, especially right before you say “I don’t care what anyone thinks about me”. If you don’t care then calm down. If you’re happy with your fat then wallow in it like a child in a pool of skittles. If not then eat properly and workout.If you ask me this is a fun but necessary topic.

Fat women shouldn’t have to walk around in shame but we shouldn’t be celebrating obesity either. It is a health problem that can lead to death. Still, as so many posters have said fat, thick or skinny; they’re all human beings. That makes them valuable.

I disagree with Oprah and Queen Latifah being called fat. Sometimes they have but quite often (when the gut is placed under control) they’re just thick (though borderline). They look very nice at those times in my opinion.

DISCIPLINE, NOT DESIRE, DETERMINES DESTINY.

@norangel3 – I think you’re going to have to wait for the “Are you fat or just obese” article to come out.

@Ramses – thumbs up! Great point once again.

Well First we need to understand the difference between being skinny, Thick and Fat. Of course there is medium. But I wont address that. Let me quantify the difference between Fat and Thick. The variance of thickness has to do with Gut to butt or gut to bust ratio. If your Tummy is bigger than your boobies. Your fat. Now with that being said. Your weight don’t matter. If your six foot two, wear a triple E bra and you weigh 250lbs. You might be thick depending on your stomach. The key is not so much to loose weight. Keep your hips, thighs and breast. Just loose your stomach. Do what you can to get rid of that stomach. A woman with small or medium stomach with big hips, curves and breast is thick. A woman with a curvy big stomach is fat even if she has big breast and big butt. Fat is only about your stomach. Nothing more. Men loove women who are built like a brick house but have a body like Bria Myles, Cherokee D’Azz or Buffie the Body. These women are thick.

Now skinny is the complete opposite of thick. You have a woman with small or medium stomach thats not fat or pertruding. She has small breast and small booty. From flat to smaller. She may wear B cup or lower. She is skinny. Everything is smaller. She is easy to pick up so you can do standing and in the air sexual posistions to her. An you can do things with her you cant do with a thick or fat girl.

Now Fat is just having a big beer belly or pregnant belly or a belly that portrudes over your belt. Thats fat. If you loose that to where your stomach is smooth or has no curves then your just thick or skinny!

With that being said. We should take the emphasis off of losing weight. An think more about loosing the stomach. Someone might have health issues that causes them gain weight. But that stomach is a different stories. Maybe they need to do hundred sit ups a day or more, jog, bike ride and swim. Along with eating better. But the rest of them skinny or thick should not change. Just the stomach.

So if you got big boobs and big breast you are thick…but if your tummy is the same size as your breast or bigger your fat!

Don’t confuse a poon-hound for a normal dude of quality and substance! Just because dudes try to get with you don’t mean you look good ladies! I’ve been to female’s pages to look at their pics, and some of those chicks look like howler monkeys! And dudes be like: ‘Dam u sexy girl!’

Understand that some men just wanna fvck you. Long as you got a vajay-jay, they’ll hit it; don’t matter what you look like. If you know you’re fat, call it what it is, and do something about it. Don’t let an inability to be honest with yourself, or comments from thirsty niggas take you to an early grave.

And for those who say black men love ‘thick’ women; that’s a misnomer. Tariq Nasheed said it best:

“Black men don’t like ‘thick’ women; BROKE MEN like thick women!”

Show me one black man with money who has a fat chick on his arm…

I’ll wait…

But I can show you a lot of broke dudes with big girls!

Woman don’t like men fat either.You will never find a rich woman with a fat dude.

We don’t like ugly guys either.Its alot of ugly skinny guys.Some thick women look better than skinny women.

@watchmesucceed. I agree with you on most parts but brothahs with money got thick women..now if you’re talking about their bank accounts as well..that’s different.

Jay Z – Rich and Beyonce is thick
Obama is Rich and Michelle is thick

There’s probably more but those two come to mind.

But you are 100% on with dudes over complimenting women on their page. LOL. that’s so true.

@STLPleasure – You are one hundred percent right about everything you said. That’s the way the vast majority of non-white/Asian men see it too. Lol!

That can’t be argued with at all, except that it seems like you were fantasizing about skinny women there for a minute. I ain’t mad at you bro. If that’s your preference then do it big (No pun intended).

I’ll stick with the thick ones, though. I love ALL of the sisters through spirit and mind but when it comes to body; there’s no chubby chasing or bone crushing going on over here. Lol!

Wait…broke dudes love thick women???

Common is far from broke I would think, and he had one of THEE thickest chicks in the game on his arm..(serena)…

Now what I do see more often than not is the black man with a lil money with a busted, fat ass WHITE CHICK on his arm…explain that one I ask you!

@Watchmesucceed Besides Jay Z/Beyonce and Barack/Sexy ass Michele, there’s also Will Smith/Jada; Mark Anthony/J-Lo; Lil Wayne was with Trina; Lisa Raye was married to a prince; Serena Williams was with Common; there are numerous more.

I think you meant no rich men date FAT women and that’s true for the most part. But thick women are beating out skinny women and fat women with the men in this day and time bro.

RamsesTemur, There ya go! That was a better way to put it…

Also Magic Johnson/Rich and Cookie/thick. Ive been trying to go with married couples though.

Watchme used thick first then Fat second which is where I think the confusion came. But there are definitely brothahs with money feeling the Thick sistahs..

One more…Run (From RUNDMC) rich / his wife from RUN’S HOUSE Thick/FAT

1st let me say this…DO YOU…no matter what your body type, shape or size…your main goal is to be healthy and not only physically but mentally and spirtually….plenty of healthy people w/ messed up mentalities and don’t even have a spiritual side….there’s enough success/blessings to go around whether thick, skinny, fat, and so on…I’ve come across more happy fat rich people than their skinny counterparts…lol…by the way…plenty of wealthy people are big/overweight…The comment that asserts that wealthy people are only a skinny group…pretty much tells who really has seen this world and who has not…don’t kid yourself or others please.

THE THICK/FAT war….continues I see well…JMO

big gurls tend to use it as a descriptive word…not so much as to describe weight per se’…the thought is that he’s saying he likes “thick women”…meaning ok…he likes “thickness of the azz, thighs, butt, legs and breast”…so the big gurls took it and ran with it…because technically she is thick in those areas. To be honest its a little bit of a bait that the big gurl uses…but its not any different of a bait that anyone else would use to capture ones attention. Same difference between a man telling me that he don’t have kids, live by himself, work and etc….(which is all a +plus in my book)but turns around and says he has no car or bank account(some -minus there)…at which I have to make a decision on whether all his other + outweigh his -, right? so thats why and how its used.

I personally don’t like the word due to the confusion it may cause as most men WILL talk to a “THICK” woman…but thats not who I am trying to attract due to the fact that I am not thick but a plus-size, fat girl…so not to waste my time or his I need the “thick girl lover” to be weeded out so that I am left with the men that loves the BIG woman…(yes there are alot of guys who do…and aren’t broke by any means and well educated. HA

But most men I know are pretty clued in on how the word is being used and will say OK, so what’s your height and weight? to gain a more accurate picture of how she probably is using the word….we all know anything over 190 is not thick…more than likely at that weight she is running into plus sizes *depending upon her height*…so lets keep it real.

***SIDE NOTE*** ATTN Big Gurls…QUIT LYING about your WEIGHT…especially if your intentions is to see him…Put up them FULL BODY Shots and go on ahead and tell him the truth and shame the devil…it will save alot of heartache and B.S. down the line…anywho…back to the program***

Its just a describing word…whats the harm? Ya’ll fool us all the damn time so don’t let us start… Matter of fact…tell us why some of ya’ll got these degrees…o, nevermind…I said I wasn’t gonna start…

@Watchmesucced, excuse u?! are u really a black man?
hmm..maybe u meant fat instead of thick?! cause the blk men I know loves thick women including the celebreties!
and who said that only broke men like big or fat women?
everybody got a different taste, u like skinny chicks the other ones loves thick women or big, fat women…so u fail!
and usually broke blk men got usually FAT white women to feed them!cause a FAT blk women is to busy to feed her stomache instead of feeding you!!loool(talking in general)enough said.

@Jazzycreations, loool..I’ve to admit, I had to laugh! but its mean! u go get a 12 pack too then u can make jokes in here!lol

@Ramsey, you the only brother here with good&useful comments!:-)

@STLPleasure, THIS WAS SOOO MEAN!loool…hell
”So if you got big boobs and big breast you are thick…but if your tummy is the same size as your breast or bigger your fat!”

Norangel13, I don’t have the 6 pack, but I’m not Fat ALbert either, just got some PARTS bigger, longer and tight, but certainly NOT a B-U-T-T-A-F-A-C-E……
Bigger women can be sexy…..I prefer it in between…..she gotta has the T and As, and I don’t mind the LITTLE jiggle on her thights/booty, but if I can’t SEE her thong from the back, then that’s NOT thick……..

I think that even while losing weight you should remain confident. If you don’t have it before it may not happen after the loss. I agree with healthy living, but I don’t agree with downing people for their flaws.

@norengle3- my response to you was because you decided to include obviously fat and call them thick. I need a 12 pack to correct you?

I likes em tall short thick thin light and dark… I love my sistas. I appreciate you for you assets are and what you bring to the table.

Working out and a tight diet isnt everyone’s cup of tea… butt (intentional) butt, if you take the time to do the nails and the hair and the make up and and spend good money to look cute with the matching this that and the other… please spend some time taking care of the body… Just try it, no its not easy but a woman told ” nothing worth it, is easy. ”

Dont get because I dont ask you to ride on my M/C… it does have a weight limit. We’ll take the jeep.

@
WatchMeSucceed
i was going to comment on you responce but the ignorance of your comment speaks for its self if you equate having money with having style and subtance you really need to go back and check your-self

well i guess i’m fat then, lol s**t all these comments make me feel over weight :(

@Rachella22 I didn’t see any pics of you so I can’t tell you one way or the other whether you’re fat or not. What I can tell you is that you are a goddess of infinite potential.

Sisters like yourself really need to learn more about your self and how you as a Black woman are related to God’s First Creation; The Black Woman. That unique relationship which no other race or culture of women have and no man has makes you more powerful than the universe. No other woman can say that and be truthful. Why do you think that so many people call You Sisters “The Mother of the universe?

You all really need to start listening to Farrakhan. It’s not about religion it’s about elevation.

Whoa…please allow me to clarify: I think some of you are confusing fat with non-fat. Don’t believe the hype: fat is fat! It ain’t thickness…it ain’t big-boned…its simply FAT! Don’t let them fat girls try to spin fatness on yall as sexy!

Thick to me is basically the same as fat: jelly rolls, a ‘one’ pack stomach, back fat, cottage cheese thighs and lumpy butt cheeks…and a big butt squeezed tight in some tight fitting pants. Beyonce ain’t ‘thick’; Beyonce is FINE! Serena Williams is FINE! I think the confusion comes in when we call ANY chick with a big butt ‘thick’…when most of the time that ish is just FAT.

And when brothers talk about a woman being ‘thick’, we mostly talking about just her ass. We ain’t necessarily referring to the rest of her body!

VerySexy04 said: “Woman don’t like men fat either.You will never find a rich woman with a fat dude.”

I agree. Then why is it that fat women try so hard to convince the brothers that fat females are sexy and desirable? Why does someone like Monique, the self appointed spokeswoman for the ‘fat is sexy movement’, not get herself a ‘thick’ brother…if fat is so damn sexy? Just like YALL don’t like fat, don’t try to sell your fatness as sexiness to us either!

I stand by that statement: name me ONE brother with money who has himself a fat chick on his arm? Again: Serena aint hardly fat or thick in the way that most niggas I know describe thickness! So using sexy women with small bodies overall don’t qualify for what most niggas mean when they see Chaquita the whale up in the club with her ass squeezed tight up in some ill-fitting jeans, fat busting out her back like she got reverse tiddies, and thighs rubbing together until she gets a damn rash! That ain’t ‘thick’ my dudes…that ish is FAT!

@Jazz, thats your own interpretation…and about what you want to correct me? i know whats fat or thick is and Mo’nique isnt fat(she was fat) but big!
anyway, everyone is entitled to their opinion, with that being said,there is a way to voice it without hurting others!
My 2 cents

NorAngel:

Because I don’t cosign on the fat is sexy movement don’t make me less of a black man baby! I know what i like, and I don’t fall for the spin. Maybe if more brothers told these overweight sisters the truth, they’d quit walking around here all FAT and porky, thinking that ish is sexy. At least I’m honest with you! But I can do that ’cause I don’t have an agenda.

CaliFemme:

I said it EXACTLY the way I meant it to be said! I don’t need clarification for my comments. Still a little sore at me over that ‘submission’ thing, huh…? Lol

SaxPlayer:

I hear you homie. You’re obviously a chubby-chaser. And that’s cool. More power to you bruh! May the fatback hit you in the ass! But you haven’t proved my statement wrong…Quit brown-nosing on these females! Just because you come to their defense don’t mean one of these big girls gone fvck with u! You got your opinion, I got mines.

…REALLY WHO CARESz…u KNOW iF PEOPLE WASNT SO WORRiED BOUT OTHA FOLKSz AND WHAT OTHA FOLKSz “iS” OR “AiNT” THA WORLD WOULD BE SUCH A BETTER PLACE! :) && NOT TRYNA START BEEF OR E-DRAMA CUZ THATSz SO NOT MY THiNG, BUT “SUCCEED” GEEZE U SPEAK SOO STRONGLY AGAiNST “FAT” PEOPLE..WHAT WOULD U CALL UR SELF…FAT OR THiCK? JUSS CURiOUS..

OmissZUnique:

I wouldn’t call myself either. But I’m far from fat babygirl. You can see that for yourself. And its not that I speak strong ‘against’ fatness…I speak strong against bullsh!t. Trying to pass fat off as sexy is just plain bullsh!t. What’s next: Short is really tall? Gay is really straight? Broke is really rich?

Obesity is a HUGE problem in our community because we don’t keep it real with ourselves about it. When you’re dying from diabetes and your friends are telling you ‘Girl, you just thick, you ain’t fat’…that’s some malarkey! You need someone to keep it real with you.

And you can’t go by what broke thirsty niggas say either. Them niggas will tell a woman anything just to get between her thighs; don’t matter if she look like Shamu! Dudes who like overweight chicks like them because they’re easier to have sex with! He don’t have to work hard to get with her. It’s a mark of laziness on both parts:

He enables her to stay fat by pretending to like her that way, when really he’s just too lazy to go at the better looking chicks; and she gets to pretend that she isn’t fat because lazy dudes are showing her attention. But both of them are full of ish! And you know i’m right about it!

I think it’s fair to say, if you question yourself and how you look, then you need to do something about it, but not to the satisfaction of anyone else other than yourself. Let’s not forget that most people have a predisposition genetically to certain conditions whether it’s cancer or obesity to name a couple. Now what that REALLY means is that there is a “trigger” that causes these genes to “react”. You are the only person that can prevent or change that. The fact that a lot of people like to base how anyone “should” look is actually MALARKY. We all have our own , tastes, beliefs, views, habits, it’s called culture. Some may be more damaging than others, but who’s responsibility is it to call that out? Our society is cruel with these biases of how all of us are supposed to look, and it continues to divide us all, socio-psychology 101. What you should consider asking yourself is whether or not you are HEALTHY and not “thick” or “fat” as a measurement of sexy. Of course if your concern is what other people think about you, here’s a tip for you: Not everyone is going to like you because we are all different and have different tastes. So be happy with yourself, and if that means you need to get “healthy” then please do so. Be knowledgeable, exercise, and eat right. No need to continue to be in the middle of a social identity crisis and a health epidemic.

WatchMeSucceed Monique is fat, but she’s beautiful. Why can’t she be just as confident in herself a less attractive skinny girl

WatchMeSucceed I disaggree with the comment that guy just want to f**k fat woman. A dog is going to be a dog whether a person is skinny or fat.The more attractive you are the more a nigga want to f**k you. Whoever wrote this articles must me skinny as hell with no ass and titts, to be so worried about full figured (not overweight)woman. There is a difference between a sister and a white woman cause we can be 10 or 20 lbs over B.M.I but I goes in the right place. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Beauty is only skin deep, Its people in the world who a naturally pettie just as while as naturally over weight. God made all different types of people from different walks of life.When you’re 135 5’6 and beautiful in the face all dogs want to do is f**k you its even worst.The more attractive you are worst it is.SO,WHO GIVES A F**K ITS ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT YOURSELF THAT MATTERS. JUST WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU THINK YOU LOOK GOOD.

A man that truely loves you for you NOT just because of your physical appearance and a when you get old and pregnant, he isn’t going to change the way he feels about you.

WatchMeSucceed Its so a lot of celebrity men that are married to overweight women like Nivea,Letoya,Lauren London,Jennifer Hudson,Ashanti etc because they get fat when they get pregnant.They have to gain weight for a normal pregancy, 20-35 lbs for a healthy baby.You do you research and the poor people make unhealthier food choices because the healthier foods are more expensive.Everybody gains weight even Beyonce been Fat before.She weighs 155 so is she fat?BLACK PEOPLE ARE OVERWEIGHT BECAUSE HEALTHIER FOODS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE NOT BECAUSE THEY DON’T WON’T TO LOSE WEIGHT.THE BLACK COMMUNITIES BEEN IN POVERTY FOR YEARS.SO CAN WE BLAME OUR OWN RACE?

WatchMeSucceed Naw, my brother I was calling you fat.I was saying that because SOCIETY IS ALWAYS PUSHING THE PRESSURE ON WOMEN TO LOSE WEIGHT. I aggree with their is a difference between fat and thick but I don’t aggree with the comment that men just want to f**k fat girls. Man w***es just want to f**k skinny girls too. STATICS SAYS THAT ITS HARDER FOR A FAT WOMEN TO FIND A SEX PARTNER.

A person should lose weight for themselves not for a man.If you don’t have any confident in yourself you will never succeed. Be happy with the way God made you, then work towards your goal.You can’t accomplish nothing in life being negative. Don’t stress yourself out about your weigh, those pounds will fall off with dieting and exercise.

BLACK FOLKS NEED TO STOP BEING SO DELUSIONAL THICK AND FAT IS TWO DIFFRENT THINGS. WE ARE DIEING YOUNG BECAUSE OF BAD HEALTH. SOMETHINGS CAN NOT BE PREVENTED BUT, HOW WE EAT CAN. MANY MAKE EXCUSES ABOUT SOMETHING BEING GENETIC WHEN THE TRUTH IS THEY HAVE NOT REALLY TRIED TO DO BETTER. YOU CANT EAT HEAVY MEAT ALL THE TIME AND JUNK AND NEVER WORKOUT!!Well I guess I go ahead and add my two cent LOL LOL. Im thankful that I have never struggled with my weight. I do have family that is obese I have a brother n law that was on life support from a simple health issue that was made worse because of the fact that he was obese. He has congestive heart failure, hes also a diebetic. He is 410 pds . I would not purposely try to hook up or marry someone who is that obses for the simple fact that I would like to grow old with my partner not have to take care of him like a patient when he hits 55. IF YOU REALLY LOVE YOUR SELF YOU WOULD TRY TO LIVE AND DO BETTER NOT BE IN DENIAL!

WatchMeSucceed The comment about guy (dogs or nigga) just want to f**k fat woman was a little offensive to many women,especially mothers.Black people should respect others especially mothers because we all have one.
So, what do you call men that have conversions with other man about how thick a women is,that looks like a size 11?I do aggree that there is a difference. I disagree with that comment about guys(dogs,male w***e)just want to f**k fat woman. There is a DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DOG AND A MAN.IN TODAY’S SOCIETY, BLACK MALES ARE SO DISRESPECTFUL TO BLACK WOMAN ITS ALL BECAUSE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.There is a difference between being fat and a little overweight. Peace

Okay let’s put this negro in his place Mr. WatchMeSucceed. Are you serious? Dude you are a donut hole away from looking like Fred Flintstone. And I guarantee if you lift up your shirt you wouldn’t have any tone in your mid section either. Your head/face alone is suffering from obesity. And let’s not talk about how your nose alone is suffocating your face. See you get on here and call your self trying to analyzes the situation and make “facts” when you are only expressing “your opinions” and “your views“. Yes there is a “big confusion” on the whole thick issue but who are you to tell others that your views are the correct views? And you have a comment for everyone but you are just as guilty with your unhealthy lifestyle habits (if your face looks like a biscuit rising in the oven , then sweetie you are a fatty). And yes I am the so call “fat girl” but guess what? I still have a wonderful professional “black man” that isn’t broke that loves the hell out of my fat ass (and one prior , which I was married to)! So dude unless you are making a six figure+ salary a year keep that lame as comment to yourself about men with $$$ (a mobile car wash doesn‘t count!). And trust me “fat girls” have preference’s as well and I’m pretty sure some of them would by pass your ass also!

WatchMeSucceed, Ummm, don’t bring it here homie, I wasn’t even referring to what YOU said, I was talking about what I SAID when I made the comment of ‘better way to put it’…

I’m not hardly ‘sore’ at you about another forum either…Don’t flatter yourself into thinking you have that much power over how I feel…

Well I admit that I am fat, but I am confident. I really don’t want to lose the weight to be honest. I just don’t want to get bigger. I don’t like vanity or superficiality. So for more men to try to get at me if I was to lose weight other than while I’m big, I would have to pass. I don’t like men lusting after me all bcuz my curves are more pronounced for them to see. It grosses me out to see lust in a dudes eyes. I don’t find it appealing or cute. Lust is what tears anbd corrupts the spirit and soul. So I guess I’ll stay fat and happy. But if I was to lose weight, I would turn men down left and right and I would be very mean about it. I know me.

@watchme honey your jawline tells me everything. your big. why would a thin woman wanna be with you?

@norangel3 – The truth hurts sometimes. Everyone is free to give their opinion. Agree or disagree it’s all good.

Dam It’s Funny How Someone Can Try and Dis A Fat Gurl But From The Looks Of It Not Being True About Their Apperance. To Even Sit And Think That Just Because You Are Big You Have Sum Self Esteem Issues Is Also Crazy. A Real Man Is Gonna Love You For You Not Because of How You Look Or Your Clothes Size. And To Try And Sit And Pick Apart Why Any Black Man Would Be With a Fat Chick Is Wild, I dont see anywhere in our name That U Reprsent All Black Men.Sweep Around Your Own Backyard Before You Try And Sweep Around Anyone Elses..

I think black people today have just taken to turning a blind eye to absolute truth.

They have become weak because of people like Mo’Nique, Tyra Banks and other people who embrace and glorify being unhealthy/fat etc…

I think it’s about media popularity and ratings! But the cold part is…Black women have failed to recognize that WHITE WOMEN don’t glorify being fat like black women do. The same white women that produce and direct those black women they love so much, wouldn’t dare hype their own women looking that bad…Come on now, we know good and well a few years back, there was no celebrating being overweight and unhealthy…

Black women need to step that shyt up and get healthy…
Fck all that ‘BBW love myself’/”I’m thick in all the right places” BS…
Your hearts and internal organs are tired of pumping all that shyt around those super huge frames!

i’m only 4’11 and wear a size 13 yes i’m big but not sloppy with it i keep myself together.when i was a size 5 years ago my husband left me for someone way bigger in size than i was .size is really not everything i feel better about myself now than i did when i weighed 110lbs

I see a lot of “black men” on here are taking this rather offensive (talk about not being secure with ya’ll sexuality, lol). Any who, I see nothing wrong with this picture because my son is 6 and both his father and I gives him hugs and kisses (and yes we kiss him on the lips). But the way you people are taking it as if “us” parents that show this sort of affection towards our offspring’s is swapping saliva with them are something. A peek on the lips is perfectly fine coming from your “parents”. People that never received the “proper love and affection” from their parents would feel this is a problem b/c they are inexperienced!

Damn wrong post!

This is not correct, “Especially when the average woman in America is about a size 9/10,” the average size for women in America is actually a 14. Just wanted to put this out there.

Good article, I have wondered why the spectrum for “thick” is so big. Don’t worry about being skinny, just make sure you are healthy. Be sure your cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar is good. If they are not, then I recommend asking for a nutritional plan from your doctor and turn it around. I don’t think the author wrote this to be mean, I truly think she is concern. We have to be REAL with ourselves and ensure that we are HEALTHY point blank.

Norangel3. i don’t mean you, I meant those who like to wear clothes that are TOO LITTLE and it STILL shows her AREEAS busting at the sides, and that’s BEYOUND thick…..

I bet you look good in a thong…not thick/fat but PHAT…..

keeping it real. alot dudes settle for fat chicks because they assume they can keep/handle her confidence level. I have had dudes admit they would rather go for a fat chick with a cute face (???) then a Beyonce…but when we on the corner or in a club and pass by a size 6 showing stuff, every dude always compliments her, and the damns! and oh s**ts! start coming out and they hollar at shawty until she leaves their eyesight. When Big Girl pass by, you could hear a mouse fart.
Then women lie to themselves with the thick/fat debate. look you fat, accept it. You fat. you’re not thick, thick is actually what size? You know you fat, don’t put this on men and this whole thing about what we like. everybody loves a beautiful painting. They don’t advertise fat people on beach commercials. cheerleaders aren’t 190lbs. You know what you are. this is not about men, this is about women, so take it how you want. bbw is whack. unhealthy. My lady is 33, and is wearing a 7/8. she’s 5’3 145-150. I know. I know, thank you. I see alot of 20+ year old women walking around brooklyn already 200lbs!!! wtf?

who’s fault is that? ok well what are you doing about it? My sister, who’s big, has always worked out, and then have a big ass breakfast cuz of the workout…Is this you? You all are your own worst enemy. That “I can do what I want, Im a black woman” statement has created ignorant women, overweight women, lonely women. Yall all go out together and eat these huge plates cuz you can afford it…Alot more big ass women trying to hit the clubs and be in s**t, fat dudes usually stay home, so the BBWs swear they got to be counted. major turnoffs.
To me THICK is 150-165 lbs. anything after that is fat.

Men jumped on Gabourey Sidibe quicker than Ms. Geri on loose change. Many men do not like the ‘fat pride movement.’ They do not want women to think fat is okay. Often, men who are in long term relationships or marriages with women who were not fat when they met them, sometimes find themselves with women who become fat (according to their standards) as time goes on. I assume they must hold on to the memories when they are sleeping with her night after night. Or are these the brothers who find someone else or leave the relationship?

I know women who work out regularly and eat well, but they have a kangaroo pouch after having children that they can’t get rid of. For those guys who are extreme anti-fat freedom fighters, how would you react to that? Do you suppose you would still be attracted to her because you bonded on another level or would her pouch leave you limp?

“keeping it real. alot dudes settle for fat chicks because they assume they can keep/handle her confidence level.” SMOKE SAID IT ;) 85%of chubby chasers arent on some sincere ish! lol

Well I see a lot of PLUS size women here in Texas with cute men…and I see a lot of skinny girls with UGLY dudes ….and I am Not Judgmental at all but a guy told me that his Plus size woman takes care of him and that is why he is with her ….ANd that skinny chicks think they are so much better or to good to talk to men who are trying to make it in the world and that they are Gold Diggers that is why they deal with ugly men cause ugly men have no choice but to make money …I was think to myself Hmmmm you must be lazy as hell then! …LOL Good one!!

STLPLEASURE:

i agree completely with your descriptions of the different body types, but a woman can’t pick and choose which part of her body she wants to lose or gain weight. you emphasized losing weight in the stomach; however, in order to do that, you must do some sort of cardio exercises (along with conditioning). when cardio is done, calories are burned from ALL parts of the body.

therefore, body type is really based on genetics. a woman is predestined to be curvy or slim (notice i didn’t say fat). if a borderline fat woman tries to lose weight in her stomach only, chances are she’ll lose weight in her hips, thighs, and ass too. (you know when people say “girl, you need to stop working out so much…you’re losing your curves!”)

and using myself as an example: i’m slim, but when i gain weight, the pounds tend to go to my stomach instead of my lower body. why? because i’m not meant to be curvy! (besides in the bust area)

it’s all about genes. and maybe pregnancy. lol

Black women naturally have more body and carry their weight better than women of other races, but that is NO excuse for any of us to eat whatever we want and not exercise. I agree with some of the dudes on here. Chubby chasers do not have good intentions for heavy-set women. I’m not saying that all men who like plump women are fake about it, but I don’t think being overweight is cute at all. It is definitely not healthy, because all sorts of diseases come with that. If someone called me fat, I wouldn’t get angry, I would simply put the fork down and hop on the treadmill. Getting angry and mouthy makes one look very stupid. I don’t buy that whole “I’m just big-boned” nonsense. If I were a very big girl, I would not be proud of it at all. That’s why I get annoyed with those who embrace being overweight and passing it off at sexy, but hey, to each it’s own.

On the other hand, I don’t care to be a size 2. Being at my healthy weight is all that matters.

Some of the brothas on here are crucial.. But there is a thin line between fat and thick yes! But alot dudes these days like it, so GET OVER IT… If you like skinny anorexic b***hes then go for it my man.. I know I don’t… I seen some of my friends go with the nastiest butt ass ugly white chics I’d ever seen in my life, to me it makes me wanna puke!!! I must say thick is in, fat is in the middle, some dudes like it and some dudes don’t.. If they have a pretty smile, chaming personality and she can keep you happy with everything, love, sex, loyality, honesty, no baggage, etc… hey what more can a man want, being who you are and how you feel is what really counts!! Staying healthy counts too, but you end up with a BBW and you want her to lose the weight then work out together, inspire her, tell her you care about her and her health well being, plan a healthy meal together! To other haters on here shut the hell up and go screw Amy Whinehouse…………..lmao

Some may think I may be as big as an ox, but I sure am as healthy as one too. All my blood work is A-1 perfect. Joints and heart activity is excellent. The only thing that makes me continue to be big is me not exercising on a regular basis. And I WILL make that decision to do so if I feel like it.

ok where do I start. first thing’s first I am overweight and not proud but none of you people know what it’s like to be overweight unless you are overweight so stop judging. I go to the doctors and guess what maybe it’s luck but chick right here is healthy maybe even more healthy than some of you(i am not tring t be rude)some overweight people may get in there own way and there is noway to help them until they are ready. but there are alot of us who workout and don’t eat big plates of food. I tend to eat the wrong foods not to much food and some of you people forget that not everyone was built the same way cuz SMOKEZ2K1 SAID HIS GIRL IS 33 WEARING 7/8 5’3 145-150 AND MOST OF THE TIME WOMAN THAT SHORT AND WEIGHT THAT MUCH LOOK BIG just saying.cuz I am 5’6 and and when I weighted 155 I wore a size 13 and looked like I was wearing a 10. overweight people have to deal with alot and sometimes stress can cause some people to lose lots of weight and others to gain weight and lose other stuff like thre hair etc. I use to think so badly about overweight people I felt the same way some of ya’ll feel like overweight people are nasty looking and other hurtful thing until I became overweight and realized it’s hard as hell to lose weight especially when you got people always downing you instead of helping you to get healthy but on the real I think alot of us overweight people beat ourselves up with out the help of some of you skinny jerks so walk my shoes or back off

@Jazzwatch, lol@”busting on the sides”
but no… the comment was for the other jazz but I didnt bother to respond this time, I already said what I had to say!
and I know I’m supaflyyyyy!lol

Wow, I’m not SKIN-TY at all and have I don’t have self esteem issues or none of that. Would I like to be 20 pounds lighter? Sure. It’s not about what society thinks or what a man thinks it’s about my health. A lot of men claim they won’t deal with a big girl but be the 1st ones in line trying to see what it’s about. I am who I am. Big girl with a PRETTY face and I carry all of this 200 + pounds well. If you don’t like what you see keep it moving…. Please know somebody will see me, love me, and accept all of me!

Norangel13, c0-sign and I bet the booty is PHAT, too, now don’t blush ;)…..I remembered my aunt sat on a chair and it broked, but she didn’t fall on her ass: it just split and if she has a booty and tits and it’s the SAME size of my Ford Taurus, that’s another sign on being MORE than thick…….

SimplyComplex_87, You’re not suppose to be curvey????? H-O-T-T-I-E, please! Thin ladies like you got it going on, too. You can eat ALLL the hot dogs and Haagen Das and there’s NO chance of you end up looking like precios :)………

Yep.. just fat over here

but jazzwatch, guess what…i’m just as out of shape as an obese person. yeah i love to eat (and i don’t gain weight), but most of what i eat is unhealthy stuff, AND i haven’t maintained a workout routine since last year. don’t let the slim body fool ya…i need to get my ass back in the gym.

@watchmesucceed, RIGHT ON BRO.

im glad this was finally brought to light

Poor is poor, rich is rich, fat is fat, skinny is skinny, and thick is thick. For the most part people do sit here and misname themselves and use it a a way to boost their inner self confidence and say they are happy with their body. Thats fine but at the end of the day being concerned about your overall health should be just as important whether fat or skinny. Reading a lot of these comments I really dont know where I stand to “brand” myself. To one man Im thick and the next I’m skinny, do I care NO!!! I’m in the gym 3-4 times a week to make sure I stay in shape for ME the plus I get from this a flawless shape, fixture of what I feel are my imperfections, a nice body of which my future husband will be happy to fantasize about, inner self confidence, and more it’s not just limited to I look good and feel good about myself…its moreso an overall happiness…it’s ok to be happy and feel good about oneself but you have to know there should be more to it than jus sayin and feelin I look good and love myself. If you love yourself so much than you’d take the time to care for your self as a whole (mentally, physically, and spiritually)…Just my opinion

What STLPleasure said, I concur RamsesTemur. Health first, but for looks work on that stomach. Proportions ladies.

I am glad this was brought to the surface finally…I have never been a thin woman not even in my teenage years…The one thing that pisses me off even more is the BMI chart I honestly feel its inaccurate…I know I need to lose a few pounds but the chart states I should be 143lbs at 5’7″ I feel that is unreasonable. My body would not go below 178 when I was in high school…
Another factor is with women we go through puberty at different ages so while many kids were flat chested in the 3rd grade I was forming breast…hips…and thighs already….I think its important to instill and promote a healthy body image amongst women period

its about time you fools called it what it is(JUST PLAIN FAT AZZ NASTY).thinking you all that and a bag of chips,more like chips who could,nt stay away from the buffet line.

so many of us live in the land on DENIAL! Eat to live and stop living to eat

JazzyLicious2006:

Babygirl, I hate to disappoint you; but there ain’t an ounce of fat on my body! I’m 5’7 at 165 lbs! I know you want me to be fat, to justify your ‘thickness’…but you can’t turn an apple into an orange just to make a point. The rest of your comments about my nose and ‘shape of face’…not even worth commenting on. This isn’t a subject about niggas with fat noses or round heads…this is about fat chicks like yourself trying to pass yourself off as full-figured or ‘thick’. Truth does hurt…i know.

As for you putting me in my ‘place’: my place is wherever the hell I decide it to be! You can’t put me anywhere…so how ’bout you stay in YOUR place; you know…that place they call Golden Corral…and let me do me.

As for you having a ‘professional’ black man: please note that managing Chucky Cheese doesn’t quite count. Neither does working in the mail room of a downtown corporate office building! Lol!

So, because I’m honest about the fat vs. thick controversy, I must be some fat broke dude myself? Please! I could have YOU if I wanted to…you just ain’t my type! But I do own my own business sweetie…and yes, some years I do make over 6 figures. But that has nothing to do with fat females calling themselves BBW…’thick’…pleasantly plump…or full figured!

Stay on topic, and leave the insults alone. I’d hate to turn this into a ‘roast the fat girl’ session!

VerySexy04:

Don’t mean to offend babe; but it is what it is! You can’t look in the mirror and expect it to lie for you! I’m only saying what most men KNOW and THINK already. Take it or leave it; I’m not here to win a popularity contest! I swear, if my sisters would just leave fantasy Island, and come on back to the real world!

Co-sign with Smoke. That nigga kept it real!

“I think black people today have just taken to turning a blind eye to absolute truth. I agree.
They have become weak because of people like Mo’Nique, Tyra Banks and other people who embrace and glorify being unhealthy/fat etc…
I think it’s about media popularity and ratings! But the cold part is…Black women have failed to recognize that WHITE WOMEN don’t glorify being fat like black women do. The same white women that produce and direct those black women they love so much? Wouldn’t dare hype their own women looking that bad. Check the Jenny Craig commercials…lol…Come on now, we know good and well a few years back, there was no celebrating being overweight and unhealthy…

Black women need to step that shyt up and get healthy…our lives depend on being or getting healthy! Fucc all that ‘BBW love myself’/”I’m thick in all the right places” BS…

Cali has a point. I agree.

@ WatchMeSucceed – Very Well Said, my brotha! :-)

Myself, I’ll date Women of many different Body Types/Colors/Heights, but I love a Thick Chocolate/White Chocolate Sista! As long as she’s not the Bowling Ball Type (the same height lying down as she is standing), it’s all good! I feel that personality counts for more than looks overall. I like my Women the way I like my Steaks – Thick & Juicy! Something I can sink my Teeth into! I want my Teeth to all but vanish when I bite into that @$$! ;-)

@Those of you who are name calling at the phat/thick women…YA’LL need to stop with all that drama. ALL BLACK WOMEN ARE FAT IN THE EYE OF WHITE AMERICA. Thats the big problem alot of you black guys on here screaming what size skinny,fat,thick,and obese is or should be and don’t know sh!t as to how much…muchless what a woman real size should be to fit her body frame. aLL YOU REALLY SEE IS DICK IN SOME PU$$IE AND A TITLE DAMN YOUR GIRL IS FINE. To BAD most of them CAN NOT say it about their MAN. Ya’ll would fu(k a dog if the lights was off and noone saw you. I can’t get over the fact that alot of these guys own here are fat and ugly and some might even be broke and talking so much sh!t as if a dime piece would give him the time of day muchless a phat girl looking his way. Get over yourself…ya’ll talking about phat girls this and that and can’t get a man. Hell back in the day phat girls was f**king then just like their fu(king now and the men who are fu(king them are proud of it. Just because you don’t like it don’t mean the next man want. Im sure that if the mirror could talk it would tell you alot of LITTLE things you fail to see in your ownself. The things you see,look,and expect in a woman…we see,look,and expect in men and we don’t get it either. Yet the media news/net give ya’ll men a pass as if ya’ll are perfect. And we know your not so why throw stones at a black woman just because she don’t look the way you want her too or the way white america think she should be? Hell if the question was ever ask are you happy with your black mans body are happy with him period? You all would be shocked at what your wife,girl,babymama,chick would say. I SAY IF YOUR A$$ IS NOT A DIME PIECE AND IM NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT LOOKS EITHER…THEN DON’T ASK NOR LOOK FOR A DIME PIECE IN A WOMAN. DON’T ACT LIKE YOUR A$$ IS GOLD PLATED AND WHEN CLEANED YOUR A$$ TURN OUT TO BE FOOLS GOLD. AND IM A SLIM BLACK WOMAN WHO IS KEEPING IT REAL WITH YOU-COMPARED TO A WHITE WOMAN IM FAT…EVEN THOUGH IM NOT.(JMOARTY)

@phazex_female-Child please Mo’nique has giving black women a reason to be proud themself and has pushed the limit for big plus size women in america today to be happy with yourself. You on the other hand has chose to throw stones at the black women who don’t look like the next fake a$$ model of america painting a picture that black women should look like the white b!tch on the cover of everything. Black women of all shape and size are beautiful and we as black women should NEVER be compared to the white man standard because WE are BETTER than them and they are trying to be us.

@smokerz2k1-If you girl is 5″7 and her weight is between 145 and 150 she is fat not thick wearing a size 7/8 is fat. If you go by white america chart she is fat. So watch how you throw those stones because the ones agreeing with you are throwing them at your girl.

@RammsesTenzur and 2fly4uok-Sorry to tell you that your chart is wrong and the black women on your list are fat and the others are obese in the white america eye/chart.(JMOARTY)

I’ve always been a perfect size 16, very voluptuous, curvaceous and full of confidence, My man called me thickems until 18 months ago when I was diagnosed with Diabetes…runs in the family.

Now, I’m a size 8 and it has been a total different experience for me. Women love shopping sprees, however I did not embrace it in the beginning. I guess I lived my life very happy and fulfilled as thickems and feeling like a sexy kitten I did not think about living a different way…being small. I’m free from diabetes and everything else is wonderful. My Man still calls me Thickems…because that’s who I’ve been for the last 7 yrs…I’m still a little voluptuous and curvaceous and he tells me to stop losing weight. I have to workout 4 times a week…it’s become a part of me to live a healthy life now…no turning back.

I can see where the author was trying to come from in the articel. Yes, there is a way to do everything (in decency and order) but I beleive the author should have chosen a more effective way 9and title) in portraying the message. Yes, there are plenty of “thick and fat” women of color just as there are white women who are fat. The key is, no matter how big or small you are… if you don’t like what you see in the mirror, change it. There is nothing wrong with curves… I exhalt my curves! I am in no way “fat” but according to society’s standards… I am “overweight” (5’3… 160 punds). I have a slight tummy but I REFUSE to allow society, the media, or this article influence me to believe that I am not good enough or my worth is lower than those who are fit into society’s definition of beauty.

Sisters4Power:

I feel you. A woman should know her worth as a person, and not falter at that knowledge. But I’m sensing a lot of hypocrisy from my sisters on this subject matter. I went to some of the big girl’ apologists profiles: funny how not one of them has a ‘thick’ dude! You don’t like thick (fat) niggas; but you want us to accept thick (fat) females.

Keeping it real: are you turned on by the site of some dude with a body shaped like Fat Joe or Big Pun? That ish ain’t sexy to yall…no matter how hard a dude tries to convince you, if it ain’t sexy to you, it just ain’t sexy to you!

So why are the big girls trying to convince us fellas that fat is just ‘thickness’ and ‘curves’; and something to be celebrated? Dripping, sagging, mounds of fat ain’t sexy on ANYBODY! And we know this…smh. You can call it all types of cute, nice names: but seeing somebody built like Precious is revolting. And for her sake and others like her, she needs to be told that. Not sold some bullsh!t about how beautiful she looks in all that revolting largess.

Fat is fat ladies: quit fooling yourselves!

And for the love of all goodness: why do some of you keep bringing white women into the topic? Fvck white women: this is about SISTERS celebrating being overweight! Who gives a crap what another race of women are doing?! It’s like some of you are saying:

“White women are fat too! So don’t point the finger at us Mr. Black Man!” That’s called deflection: attempting to make your faults seem ok by pointing out the faults of another. Stick to the subject matter and the audience!

I don’t think telling Gabourey anything will make a difference. She has made or will make the decision for herself. And like everyone else with issues today, any critics are haters-another overused term.

@WatchMeSucceed-I can answer that question since I am 1 of the women who put white in my statement. Don’t get me wrong im not phat fake nor jealous of the white race. And my reason for putting white women in my comment is because im sick of every damn topic downing the black woman from our size to our wealth. This is a black net damnit and suppose to be here to help uplift the black women and men yet you don’t have NONE of those things going on. They want to ask dumb a$$ question like this knowing what the out-come was going to be like. Why stand by and let SOME of the black boys down the black woman because she don’t fit his cup of tea and white america looks? And some of the hoes on the cover of playboy. If you look at the chart all black women are fat if you go by the white man chart. So what if a plus size woman call herself thick…its no different than when a black man call his dick big when his sh!t is as small as a baby bottle pop. Yet you don’t hear nor read about it on here. All black men should be proud of ALL black women nomatter if she is phat,thick,skinny,or obese because your not dating the whole race of black women and just because you get with someone who you think is perfect just know the white man still look down on her and you in white america.(JMOARTY)

@CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST:

Sis if you’re saying the women on my thick chart (Beyonce, Lisa Raye, Serena Williams, etc.) are in the fat category like Monique, Roseanne, and Gaborrey; then you may as well post these words… (I AM A HATER AND I AM ENVIOUS OF FINE, SEXY BLACK/LATINO WOMEN BECAUSE THEY GET ALL OF THE ATTENTION AND KUDOS FROM MOST BLACK/LATINO MEN AND THEY GET ALL OF THE RICH AND POWERFUL BLACK/LATINO MEN WHO DON’T HAVE EURO-CENTRIC MENTALITIES.)

I say that because that’s what registers in the minds of most Black and Latino men when we hear bony women like yourself dog the Goddesses.

I’m not mad at you for being stringy but I have an automatic reaction when I hear haters hating on the sisters for being the way God designed them to be; even if it’s another sister.

If that’s not what you’re saying then; my bad.

@RamsesTemur-KML no Im not talking about plus size women re-read that comment again and all of my other comments. I stated if you go off the list of people you and the other guy named those people on your list will be fat compared to the white america chart.(JMRB)

Fat is fat, and that’s all there is to it. How(and when) did “thick” become the substitute of fat anyway? I’ll never(and don’t wanna) be skinny, but I’m not in denial about my weight. Overall this is a good post, but I have to correct you: the average American woman is a 14/16, not a 9/10!!

SimplyComplex_87, I believe if you DO workout again, you WON’T gain weight, but judging from your picutre, your ass still rocks and dreaming about you will-better stop it or you’ll BLUSH ;)……

I agree with ajdawg and thicknbrown.

WatchMeSuceed….I admire you for keeping it real because some of these fat chicks are in denial. Usually the fat ones who are African American are the worst. “I’m not fat I’m just thick!” LMAO….no honey you are fat, sloppy, and need to shed a few pounds. Getting a nasty attitude about what I say will make you look uglier and will not make you slimmer. Some of you hippos need to go on a diet for the sake of your health. Fatness is not cute. Don’t get it confused with thickness!!
