Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus has said that hating or doubting oneself because of body size is the real issue, not being fat.
She shared this message on Instagram while reflecting on her weight-loss journey.
According to Eniola Badmus, people should choose weight loss from a place of love rather than shame or pressure from society.
She explained that her experience taught her that real change begins with the mind.
She wrote, “I need you to hear this from me….being “fat” is not the problem. Hating yourself is. Doubting yourself is. Believing you’re not enough is. That’s the real struggle.
“Your size has never cancelled your worth. You can be confident, successful, loved, admired, and unstoppable at any size. And if you choose to lose weight, let it be from a place of love….not shame. Let it be because you want to feel healthier, stronger, and happier… not because the world told you to shrink.
“My weight loss journey has taught me one powerful thing: transformation starts in the mind. I didn’t wake up one day different….I made small, consistent decisions. And guess what? You can too. If I can do it, you can absolutely do it.
“But listen carefully….even before the weight changes, you must love the body you’re in right now. Respect it. Thank it. Celebrate it. This body has carried you through so much. Don’t insult it.
“If you’re on a journey, be patient with yourself. If you’re not, still walk boldly. Confidence is not a size,it’s an attitude. And to everyone who has supported and celebrated my journey so far… I see you. I appreciate you. Your love means everything to me. Thank you for growing with me.
“Let’s keep becoming better….not because we hate who we are, but because we love ourselves enough to evolve,” she said.
