LOL it's hard to explain what grits are but it's kind of like an oatmeal consistency but it's made with ground corn. They taste delicious!! And yes, hot grits on a man will definitely teach him a lesson! :-)

OMG, GG

It never occured to me that sisters in another part of the world may not know what grits are. Grits are finely ground corn. They are prepared by boiling until they reach the desired texture. Some people like them soft (spoon grits) while others prefer a firmer texture (fork grits). In Europe, polenta, the Italian dish, is actually what we call grits.

BTW, I visited London a few years ago and loved it! Can't wait to come back!

Sorry Yettia to wade in on your business cause I am not from your region orginally but somebody had to help this sister! So I took it upon myself, born and raised in SOUTH central Los Angeles, to do so.

See ya later!

Hello ya'll:

I had no idea that they had a WLS group for women of color on here. I was bored outta my mind and surfing around on this board when I found it.

Hell. to. the. yeah. Is all i have to say.

I love this ENTIRE board, but I love seeing women of color on here. Cuz I was told fiftyseven'leven times that black women "don't get wls". "we are made to be thick" " why you wanna look like the women in cosmo" blah blah blah.

Don't get me wrong. I love me. But I want to be a healthy me. I have no desire to look like the women of Cosmo. I would have a fit if I woke up one morning and realized that the T&A fairy had come and repossessed all of my goodies!! I want to have some curves. I have no desire to look like a Newport cigarette.

Anyway, I am originally from central Florida. However, I have been living in south Georgia for the last year and a half becasue my job relocated me.

Nice to meet everyone. Please feel free to drop me a line anytime.

take care.

PS. Should we be called THICK G.R.I.T.S ?? :tongue2:

Hey Brina, glad you found the group. I don't want to be skinny either I love having curves, just not rolls :smile: I'd probably like to be a size 10 12 or 14 i'm not sure because i don't know what they look like on me. As far as the, "black women "don't get wls". "we are made to be thick"" I have never heard that one, my sister has already had the gastric bypass. Plus there is a difference between fat and thick. I wanna join the thick crew :scared2:
