do ww who date bm feel less pressure about thier weight

*****@$@!

 

You must have missunderstood.

People that have a tendecy to accumulate fat around the mid-rif have a higher incidence of cardiac and diabetic issues IF they allow fat to accumulate around the waist.

 

Well, I don't think anybody said that.
In my experience though, feeling accepted by black guys for my body made me become more confident. Obviously if a guy I like told me that he wanted me to get fatter because he likes fatter girls, I'd say "no thanks", lol

 

I know, but I am just giving that thought out.

 

Okay

 

naw , it wasnt like you think. They were basically saying the average woman is pretty much healthy. You dont have to be paper think to be healthy. they also stated there are some draw backs about over athletic . the only draw back was the skin would not be as good as the average person (it was nothing really to be concern with). But basically saying that it was somewhat healthy for a woman to have some fat/thickness. the average size woman is healthy. I will have to look it up . Like I stated I saw them talking about it on the Joy behar show with Ian smith (the black guy on the celebrity fat club)

 

this is an excerpt of a transcript from the joy behar show..dated 30 april 2010
I hate to put up a lot but I just wanted to make sure I didnt come across as skewing the convo.

WARNER: I`m saying drastically -- that`s right.

BEHAR: If you cut out one thing, you will lose weight.

WARNER: Yes. It happens. Clients every day go through this process safely.

STORK: But what I`m saying is for those people, yes. But what I am saying is if you`re 20 pounds overweight --

WARNER: I didn`t say that, I said morbidly obese. If you go from morbid obesity to a healthier lifestyle. But look, I disagree with Ian respectfully because I think that any show, this show has brought to light so many things that are positive in terms of getting people talking about weight loss and obesity and all of these issues.

SMITH: Yes but Jackie including all the e-mails I get because they want to come on celebrity fit club because they gained all the weight back. I mean here -- my issue with the show is very simple, let people know that this is a very small test case.

WARNER: It`s a controlled environment.

SMITH: Exactly. No one can live like this, that`s all I`m saying. It`s fun television by the way. But as far as being like the guidelines for people to lose weight, this is not the way to go. In fact, most dietitians agree with me.

BEHAR: All right, let me try this also, there are new studies which I read today I believe in the "Wall Street Journal" that say that a woman in a certain age I guess who is ten to 15 pounds overweight should stay like that, that it`s better for you, it`s healthier and you will look better also as you get older and don`t get that drawn look. What do you think about that, Travis?

STORK: Well I wouldn`t say if you`re necessarily healthier. But I think if you look at all of the data it`s more important to be fit than the perfect weight.

BEHAR: Well they say exercise and work out a bit.

STORK: These are people though who are maybe ten pounds quote-unquote "overweight." Which - what is the ideal weight, I never figured that out but these are people who do look after their health, they`re in general eating right, and they`re active and I think more importantly it means they`re getting throughout and exercising the cardiovascular system. It`s more important to do that than to be quote unquote "thin."

BEHAR: What do you say to that?

WARNER: My grandmother used to always say, Jackie, as you get older you either sacrifice your face or body. And there is some truth to that. The more lean you are and if you`re extremely fit and athletic, you do wrinkle a little bit more in the face.

BEHAR: Yes, well you there`s -

WARNER: And if you have that sort of soft fat, it does kind of deage you a little bit.
BEHAR: Jackie, there`s always Botox. Let`s get real.

(LAUGHTER)

BEHAR: But you know, it`s interesting, they talk about subcutaneous fat and I think the other thing is visceral fat. Visceral being around here which is bad for you. I find that very interesting, subcutaneous, in the butt and in the thighs. And it is healthier. And yet, magazines really celebrate the other body. They really do believe that the skinny on the bottom with the big bosom is on the top is the ideal figure. It`s not the healthy figure.
WARNER: Yes, no it`s not.

SMITH: Well see Joy, you got to talk to the brothers about this. The brothers for a long time -

BEHAR: I know.

SMITH: Have said that you know, a little ba-dunk-a-dunk is a good thing. But no, seriously Joy, here is the idea, ten and 15 pounds overweight is not going to increase your risk for all these kind of health complications. It`s when you`re obese and morbidly obese that`s a problem.

BEHAR: Right.

SMITH: And you know Travis is so right. What is the ideal weight? Ten or 15 pounds? That`s not bad ought all.

BEHAR: The studies are saying that it`s better to be 10 or 15 over. I mean every week it`s something new, thanks everyone. Thank you very much.
