I will say this: based on my sample size of white women (about 75-100 moms from yoga or other mommy-type activities), they are all obsessed with being thin. They don't eat a lot during pregnancy & they eat even less after the baby is born.

It is unfortunate that they feel that way, but I'm sure many of them would consider Rihanna to be 'fat' and point out her saddle bags. They want their asses to be flat/small, whereas black women are proud of the booty.

Thankfully, I'm half-Colombian, half-Italian, so I have no choice but to like eating - it's in our culture.

I'm also thankful for the curves my madre blessed me with.
Ditto to the bolded. I think any culture where food is extremely important to your heritage and part of your identity, like yours, then there becomes a love for the body type you develop from the foods you eat....because that plantain, cassava, and sweet potato is worth it lol

Not for Indians and Pakistanis! LOL... We love our greasy, oily, fried foods BUT also love being thin and having no muscle-tone. Well not me specifically. At any time you'll have an "aunty" shoveling biryani, butter chicken and naan into your face one day and then telling you you're too fat the next.

This is the story of my life except the Vietnamese version. Being told to eat more then being called too fat in the same breath by an auntie. Lol

Latinas are not like this. They want everyone to have curves & if you don't, they will keep feeding you.

One of my good friends is Mexican and all the women in her family are tiny (size 0 or 2), but they all wished they were bigger.
