I love embracing all body types. I get tired of consuming ideas that women are supposed to have "X" body type and not encourage us to be healthy and happy.

Health is the most important aspect!!!! Idc what you look like, as long as you are healthy!!!

The way you look is not an accurate factor in health!!!

I mentioned certain pieces in another thread but

go to a good doctor

Don't blow off anything better safe than sorry

Don't let anyone tell you how to feel about your body

Embrace your flaws!!! Realize that people have died trying to have every inch of their being perfect

A woman at my church died at 42 from a massive heart attack (she was not over weight ijs to remove the stereotypes) her mother who recently suffered a stroke found her dead. She hadn't been to a doctor in years, didn't work out, didn't eat healthy and didn't know she had heart disease (#1 killer of women). She leaves behinds two kids (under 15 I believe) and a husband. She was the youngest of 9 kids. Her family is still shocked. Their thanksgiving was disorganized this year, (she died about a month ago) my mother asked partly because my grandfather (her father) past away last Christmas and this was the first thanksgiving without him. He was 88 and had good health until the last 2 weeks but the woman was 42 and past suddenly. Her life was cut short. I know we can't foresee everything, but we should try to prevent as much as possible.

Take care of yourselves ladies!!!!! :love: :love: :love:

I wish the single mother/baby mama (I hate that word) bashing would stop. It's misogynoiristic.

Its extremely so. As long as the mom is caring for her child then she shouldn't be bashed.

Some folks feel it's in their right to dehumanize, shame, and bash women. I just can't get down with it.

Without Black women there really would have not been that many Black men, so I appreciate that you are around, hehe.

But more seriously, our women are cute and got lots of talent among them.

Cute.

This thread needs to be bumped:
Phenomenal Woman

BY MAYA ANGELOU
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can’t see.
I say,
It’s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need for my care.
’Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

You are worth it. Challenge yourself but be kind to yourself.
