I would trace it back to excess consumption of processed sugar and gluten (you're essentially eating glue). And wheat appears to become a Somali staple when it used to be sorghum, maize and most wheat was fermented (with a different composition, hence more easily digestible).
Just look at whats regularly consumed in their homes: baasto, laxoox, confectionary/desserts, highly sweetened tea etc. On top of the Standard Western Diet.
Most lack an awareness of what they consume. And it's hard to control what you don't keep track of. Couple that with sedentary living and societal attitudes that encourage certain health behaviours and there you go.
And women are more susceptible to emotional shifts from tweaks in their lifestyle more so than men. And certain foods can worsen mental health given the gut and brain connection.
If there is a will madame there is a way, how do you think you and I learned about these things? you might have been fortunate enough to have never got fat courtesy to good genes, but many were not as fortunate, they learned it the hard way through putting on weight first.
How is it that our Xaalimo's who are biologically far more predisposed to seek/maintain and invest in there beauty being re-soundly beaten by Farax's who are not predisposed the same way? how is it that they are the worse then females of other races?
Even our own mothers who themselves are not the best of examples are shocked by this new generation of females who don't even look after themselves, nor even care.
The few that do what you tend to find is a huge perversion, a lot of money being spent on clothes, perfumes, hair, bag, make-up, nails and skin but the body resembles that of a baby elephant.
I'm curious inquisitive are you married?
You have very high standards ( not a bad thing we all have standards). I bet your wife/future wife will have to be the most intelligent good looking hard working fit woman out there. I hope you have all these qualities too.
I don't at all, unless don't be fat, take your deen seriously and have a healthy mindset are high standards to you.
It's a great tragedy that right now you can't even find 1 of those 3 attributes to an adequate standard, meaning if she has one of those traits, the other 2 are guaranteed missing.
Inquisitive may you be protected from homewreckers
Ameen Yaa rab!
Facts. And the fact no one is perfect we all try our best. Some have crazy romanticised image of other races. When truly they have their own issues. Some are just better at hiding it then other’s. Like one of my neighbors from the outside everything seems fine. The guy beats his wife and the family just ignore it. They are Asian. Sad stuff.
No community is immune from problems, but my view is that our problems and levels of shamelessness are far worse then any other Muslim community.
What happens to us doesn't happen to any of them, look at our young single women on social media and in public how shamelessly they behave, no other ethnic group that I know engages in this.
