Eniola Badmus said people should lose weight from a place of love, not out of shame for what the world is saying about them.
Nollywood actress, Eniola Badmus, has stated that harboring self-hatred or self-doubt because of being overweight is a serious issue.
The movie star made this known in an Instagram post while reminiscing on her weight-loss journey.
Eniola Badmus said people should lose weight from a place of love, not out of shame for what the world is saying about them.
According to the actress, her weight-loss journey has taught her that transformation starts from 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 canceled 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.”
