For the most part, yes. It's a white thing. Anorexia is not very prevalent in the Black community. For whatever reason, there is a greater acceptance of larger body size in the our community.
However when I was a teenager, I had the body of a grown woman. I wasn't fat, I just developed very early. When I was in high school I started abusing diet pills and starving myself. I wouldn't even eat in public because I was ashamed of eating. I was like 108 put I had T&A for days.
So I think Black women have weight issues too, but not nearly to the extreme of white women.

Anorexia was never an issue with me. In high school I wasn't particularly over-endowed just average not fat but solid. I was athletic I cared more about sports and performing well. If it went down one way it is not going to come out that same way if I can help it.

I was never fat, but I was not skinny...I was too busy trying to survive to worry about anorexia etc.
