Yeah, I know IMPOSSIBLE! I was searching for a blog or website by a fat black chick like myself that was working on improving herself inside and out. Bam!!! Brick wall!!! The lovely Google genies failed me. I found lots of blogs and sites geared towards weight loss but time after time the face staring back did not reflect my own. Now I know that weight loss is rarely looked at from a racial perspective as far as approach, but I have learned it needs to be sometimes. For mainly one reason, the worse four letter word in regards to shedding pounds FOOD!!!

Growing up on fried chicken, collard greens, corn bread, mac & cheese, peach cobbler, and sweet tea makes dieting a bit hard. Our taste buds have been conditioned to love lots of flavor. Well NEWS FLASH: most diets are full of tasteless menus. BLAH!!! I want to see someone dieting without the torture of constant bland food. I want to see someone getting healthy not to be a size 4 but a shapely women proud of her curves. I want to see someone constantly learning and challenging who they are. Hell, I want to see ME!

Watch me tackle life and dun… dun… dun… LOW CARB!!! (my way of course)This Fat Black Chick
