Eniola Badmus opens up on weight loss

Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus has urged individuals, particularly plus-sized persons, to embrace self-acceptance and self-confidence, stressing that a person’s worth is not determined by body size.

The actress shared the message in a post on her Instagram page, reflecting on her personal weight-loss journey and the lessons she learned during the transformation.

Badmus stated that physical size is not the real problem, noting that self-doubt and self-hatred are the bigger challenges many people face.

According to her, confidence, love, success and admiration are not tied to appearance, adding that people can live fulfilled lives at any size.

She explained that her transformation taught her that real change begins in the mind and comes from consistent, intentional decisions over time.

“Being ‘fat’ is not the problem. Hating yourself is. Doubting yourself is believing you’re not enough. That’s the real struggle,” she wrote.

The actress added that individuals who choose to lose weight should do so for health and happiness, not because of societal pressure or shame.

She further encouraged people to appreciate their bodies at every stage and be patient with their personal growth.

Badmus also thanked fans and supporters who have encouraged her throughout her journey, urging everyone to pursue improvement from a place of self-respect.

“Even before the weight changes, you must love the body you’re in right now. Respect it. Celebrate it,” she added.
