“I was body-shamed for being plus-sized and still body-shamed for losing weight” – Eniola Badmus laments as she speaks on her new 87kg weight loss

Published

on

Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus is celebrating herself on her weight loss journey.

In a lengthy post on her Instagram page, she disclosed that five years ago she weighed 170kg and today weighs 83kg.

She said it didn’t happen overnight and took years of discipline, sacrifice, pain, consistency, tears, setbacks, and choosing her health every single day.

Badmus described it as one of the hardest journeys of her life, expressing pride in how far she has come.

Badmus said what breaks her heart the most is how people body-shamed her when she was plus-size and are still body-shaming her now that she has lost weight.

“Five years ago, I weighed 170KG. Today, in 2026, I weigh 83KG. That didn’t happen overnight. It took years of discipline, sacrifice, pain, consistency, tears, setbacks, and choosing my health every single day. It has been one of the hardest journeys of my life, and I’m incredibly proud of how far I’ve come. But here’s what breaks my heart… The same people who body-shamed me when I was plus-size are the same people body-shaming me now that I’ve lost the weight. What exactly do you want from me? When someone loses almost 90KG, it’s completely normal for the skin to change. Of course, my skin will adjust. I’m doing my best to take care of myself, use collagen, stay healthy, and embrace every stage of this transformation.

Yet, every time I post, some people find something new to criticise. Just because I don’t respond to the insults doesn’t mean they don’t hurt. It doesn’t mean I’m weak. It doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings. I’m human. Blood runs through my veins just like yours. Words have consequences. At my age, I think I’ve done something remarkable. Going from 170KG to 83KG isn’t a small achievement; instead of constantly pointing out what you think is wrong with my body, why not celebrate the strength, determination, and resilience it took to get here? If you don’t have anything kind to say, it’s okay to say nothing at all. And to my fellow women, this part is especially for you. So much of this bullying comes from women. We often say, “Women should support women.”
We often say, “Women should support women.” But where is that support when another woman is fighting to become healthier and happier? Kindness costs nothing. Let’s stop tearing people down because of their bodies.

“Nobody deserves to be bullied for being plus-size, and nobody deserves to be bullied for losing weight either. I’m proud of my journey. I’m still growing, still healing, and still becoming the best version of myself. You don’t have to love my body, but you can choose to respect it. Be kind. Always. I REMAIN ENIOLA BADMUS…..A HOUSEHOLD NAME Eniolabadmus.”
