So everyone knows that I am getting married next year. I am apart of #TeamPlussize, about 2 years now , and would like to enter into #teamthick draft before winter official comes.
I have lost 17 pounds and haven't been to the gym in a smooottthhhh 2 months. Well that ends today! Well tomorrow .. lol ... I have went to Sam's Club and got my green smoothie items, and paid up my membership. That leads me to what this blog is about ... Is you Fat or nah?
In the black community, and among people that I know, we gain weight and it is what it is. We try to lose weight for about 3 weeks and when we have only dropped 3 pounds, we quit. WE become content with taking selfies from above our heads, heads tilted, and only from our chest up - when we are of a certain size. Now again, I'm not saying every "bigger person" does this, but most do. I am guilty myself. You get into this whole " Big Girls are sexy, fuck them skinny hoes ... Everyone wasn't made to be skinny ... Us big girls will still take your man " and blah blah blah .. Like listen, your arm is the size of what your leg used to be .... your knees are folding in and I'm counting the rolls on your back by the dozen. This is not to bash or be rude but your not "thick" baby you are FAT! To me, I am FAT. Let's be honest with ourselves.
Now I don't give a hot shit about if you still think that you are sexy, cute because you still are you. You look the same, just a much rounder you. What I am worried about is your health. It's time to be honest with ourselves. Most of our grandparents, and some parents, are diabetics, have high blood pressure, wearing a pace maker or some illness that is triggered by their health. I went to the doctor and she told me the amount of weight I needed to lose, and no it wasn't what the charts say , but she ( as a black woman) knew how my bottom half is a lot of muscle and that I was jiggly up top. She knew that I would never get to 110/115 pounds and told me where I should be to be healthy - and I thanked her for that. Just don't tell me I'm big, look at me and tell me where I need to be to be healthy. Find a doctor who just isn't going to give you a pill, because unless you change your eating habits - you'll be fat again.
It's ok to love your curves ... I LOVE MY CURVES. I have always been curvy. BUT it's time to take control of our health. I want to live as long as I can, watch my children, children grow up. My GREAT grandmother is still alive today and she has always been a healthy eater. Now she fed us all the southern delights BUTlol she was always a bird eater and keep it that way. Think about yourself. You don't want to get sick and be FORCE to cut out everything you could have had in moderation. You can still be a thick, curvy girl - just be a healthier one.
I bought a $4 bag of Kale and a $12 bag of fruit. They made 16 smoothie bags, and 4 regular fruit bags. October I am doing two smoothies, two snacks, and dinner a day. This doesn't include my workout plan. I also bought two chickens for $5 each - that I pulled - and that will be lunch for the house ( and added to my little salad snacks :) ) I challenge you to make a small change to your life to get healthier. We are all in this together!
