Not exactly so. I myself used to be fat when I was in elementary school. And about 5th grade I got too angry about my friends always callin me fat and did something about it. I was in the 5th grade and was doing 50 sit-ups, and played outside all day everyday. And ever since I've had a six pack and been thin. If I hadn't taken things into my own hands I'd prolly be almost, if not, twice my weight right now. But I look just like a regular skinny dude. Now there's nothing wrong with being overweight, and I don't pass judgment on anybody. But being a former member of the overweight club myself, I know that if you really want to get out of it, you can. It's all about the person. Desire to be thin won't do anything by itself, but desire and determination sure will.

Hmm...the average size is 14...I really think there's a problem with America. Not to say 14 is HUGE but our nation definitely has some weight issues to figure out.

yeah I'm sorry but it's just not healthy to be that big, no matter what your height is. This is a major issue in the black community. There is a difference between having curves, being thick, and being obese. You can be size 6 with curvy. If you're a size 20 with curves... they're curves of fat, not a real shape. Black people need to stop eating like we're slaves (neckbone, gizzards, chit'lins) and start eating like we're trying to live. Collard greens aren't the only damn vegetable, and candied yams don't count!

Not every big person is big because they eat like "slaves" (which is a very disturbing analogy by the way)....yes there are those folks who don't know how to quit and eat their way out of everything...then there are those big people who DONT eat and because they dont eat and stay active their metabolism is very low...this is the case with MANY big people...Then there are big people with medical problems...and no im not talking about diabetes...heart disease and what not...im talking about medical problems that actually cause the overweight...such as Glandoral problems that effect a good 5% of Black Women...and in case you are wondering...im in that 5 % of black women....It pains me when people only take a simple look at a big/fat person and automatically think they are that way because they dont know how to lay off the fried chicken...hmmm...and you can be Big and healthy you know...healthy doesn't mean you weigh under 150 lbs.... As a big person myself i do realize that there is a SERIOUS obesity problem in our country...i dont doubt that...and its dangerous yes...and something needs to be done...but stuff like that doesnt happen overnight you know.... You guys have NO IDEA what it feels like to be in the shoes of a big person...NO IDEA...you would think us a black folk would start encouraging one another for situations like this...but no...only put downs?? Tell me how exaclty is THAT helping the situation??
