As someone who was previously obese, from my studies, from interactions with the many sistas over the years, and thru observations, i can say the following statement with near certainly: Obesity is not merely a physical problem, it is rooted in psychosocial/emotional dynamics. For many it's not simply exchanging a bigMac for a bowl of fruits, it runs on so many levels, tis is why it is not a beast that has been conquered overall. Yes there are individuals(self included) who moved from obesed to healthy or some semblance of it, but walk in any hood/community of color(black/hispanic) & hanging bellies is the norm. So the psychosocial aspect which is literally & figuratively the 1000 pd elephant in our communities room has to be tackled before any REAL overall success with obesity. Until such time have 2 green smoothies a day & meditate on some solutions. Wellness Walk! One luv!
