Why don't we all just start going to the gym more?
Somali men and women, both groups just start working out, you will be happier with yourself and with the way you look
If everyone was in shape or in the process of getting in shape I think there would be a lot more happiness in the world
A skinny person who is excessively skinny can be unhealthy, same goes for excessively fat/obese people.A skinny person is not unhealthy in fact to the contrary, but a fat/obese person is. This topic is not about aesthetically pleasing size/figures etc but curing the highly toxic unhealthy obesity in our women which seems to go past the head of most people.
You're overreacting mate. I never knew this was an issue for some people until one day when I went out having dinner with my cousin in Borama. This guy was looking at us and said things like "These girls don't have any shame. You can not eat in public as a girl." I was so pissed off, tf we can't eat in public. I can eat wherever I want, whenever I want.
About being fat... Well the best thing to do is to look after yourself and to just hit the gym of course. It's not everyone's cup of tea unfortunately. But fat shaming people is just rude af. You can't do that.
When did we become hairy pakis, huhIn my day Somali women didn't even go to restaurants, it was ceeb and they ate left overs of their kids dinner. These liberated Somali women are just enjoying the freedoms their mothers never had. I wish they'd avoid fast food though. Being a fatso is bad for your health

It happens in somali culture too. The men are served the good parts and the women and children eat later.When did we become hairy pakis, huh

LOL my mom used to say its bad manners nimaan lugu ma hor cuno. And thats how we do it at family reunionsI laughed imagining it happened to you. Those suckers handing the useless bone to you. Very unfair.
When even the upper/middle class infidel white women carry this shame as well as look after their bodies far better then our Muslim Xaalimo's for who it's a religious right, it goes to show the brutality of the level of shameless deterioration.
It's an issue effecting all Muslim women but our Xaalimo's are by far the worst culprits, It's rare to find slim petite Xaalimo's nowadays in the UK, it's absolutely gut wrenching that when I walk the streets 9 out of every 10 I see is either fat or obese, while the 1 that isn't is usually not even slim but normal.
To further add to this shame they pack all the fast food places more so then our Farax's, and I don't even blame them for this, it's the qashin bakhti saaqid filthy bila dhiig bila damiir bila xishood qurun dayuus males who encourage this and those that remain silent that I blame for this tragedy.
Women are naturally trend followers, if the majority of the guys champion the natural default healthy slim petite women, the women make the effort to confirm and vice versa, you see this with the Asian's and upper/middle class whites, it's reinforced everywhere from magazines, modelling, soaps etc.
Yet no such culture exists within Somali's in fact the shameless opposite culture exist that encourages this, such shameless culture is only seen in black communities, it's no wonder why all black communities are were they are today, no else is dumb enough to encourage all forms of diseases, only idiots do.
I don't see you ever berate those people or go after them who encourage obesity, heart disease and diabetes, but the moment I go to war with these people and try to foster the healthy, slim, petite as well as revive the sunnah to people that their body has a right over them, you get your knickers in a twist.
It goes to show how shameless you have all become, it's like having a conversation with the brainwashed white women about female modesty, they will attack you but when I talk about bikini's/G-strings no one will say anything.
This is a testament to how deep that corruption has seeped inside of you that both male's and female's who are normally quiet when obesity/diseases are encouraged suddenly go crazy when someone becomes pro health, pro sunnah and anti disease.

Bro, fat is a global phenomenon due changed diets. Many societies are now dealing with this problem. Processed food plays a role.
Yes but why are our Xaalimo's so disproportionately effected ? why is it that any statistics you check black women in particular have the highest % when it comes to obesity ? why does even your own personal experience show the same trend ?
Why does every other group make efforts except our women? We have female only gyms all over London, go and speak to those women they will tell you the same thing everyone else already knows (no Xaalimo's here), how many Xaalimo's that are into fitness do you know or seen?
I don't know what the situation is outside of the UK, but it's absolutely gut wrenching here and the reason why we have it so bad along with other blacks of which we are the worst is simply because we encourage this disgusting trend while the few that don't choose to despicably remain silent, something no other culture does.
I have this type of conversation with those bakhti males that marry all the time, now I am talking about the very few who are fortunate enough to marry normal sized women (not even petite or slim)
I tell them to catch her before it becomes to late because the pain you will cause her in the end is nothing in comparison to the none existent pain you feel you will cause her by slapping the breaks on her before she reaches a point of no return, you are in fact showing mercy as well as reminding her about the sunnah of looking after the rights of your body.
But as always that clueless doqon refuses this, but then after 10, 30, 50, 80 and in some cases 100 pounds of weight is added on to his wife's body with that bakhti consenting all along until she reaches a point of no return, one of three things happen.
1) He becomes so viscerally disgusted by the idea of sleeping with her he simply doesn't (which causes her a great deal of pain and trauma) or he makes it so quick it has the same effect.
2) Seeks a second wife to cope with his visceral disgust.
3) Divorces her out of utter disgust.
I feel for these poor women because they are at a point of no return and already condemned to the early stages of all kinds of diseases. You are as much of a culprit with your wishy washy excuses instead of confronting this despicable trend, had I encouraged obesity like our culture dictates, you wouldn't have said much, but unlike you I care enough to confront this despicable shameless trend.
In the UK is it that bad? Or is it your own bias?

I am not in denial that we need to work on our health issues as Somalis. We disproportionately suffer from diabetes in America which is killing the elders in our area. Our men and Women need a cultural change and buy into the idea of a good diet and an exercise.
It will take time and an effort to get that message across.
The only way this is going to work is to speak out against it whenever you get the chance both in private and in public, more and more people will do the same until that desired cultural change happens, it may take years, or decades or even a generations, but someone has to start that ball rolling.
I had previously been speaking out in private mostly with groups and all, but after I read comments of petite healthy Xaalimo's looking for ways to get fat because this despicable crowds made them feel insecure, I totally lost it.
In the UK is it that bad? Or is it your own bias? Here in america the obesity rate in general has gone up not just for somali women.
But if you want some insight read my baati thread. It explains how the baati has created a culture of carelessness with the appearance and how it destroys the self esteem
