In the United States Black women have the highest obesity rate compared to other groups.  4/5 Black women are overweight or obese, according to a 2012 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some things are in our control, and unfortunately, some things aren't.

There are  psychological and social factors that have an impact on obesity. Women who report more experiences of racism have been shown to be more likely to become obese. Women who live in under resourced neighborhoods—where grocery stores are scarce, parks and sidewalks aren’t maintained, or crime is rampant—are often more likely to gain weight or be obese.
