Mama Muthoni has opened up about her weight loss journey, urging women not to let other people’s opinions stop them from making decisions.
She said people would talk whether someone was fat or had lost weight as she spoke about her experience.
“So girl, they will talk anyway. When you are fat, they will talk. When you lose the weight, they will talk. You do you. Btw, when I see my labs, I just smile. And I think of my grandchildren. And the fullness of life I will enjoy. I rarely think of haters. I don’t know why I thought of them today,” Mama Muthoni said on Monday, August 31, 2026.
Mama Muthoni said women may be struggling with the decision to lose weight because they are worried about what people will say. She explained that people may still have something to say after weight loss.
She said it is difficult to please everyone.
“Maybe someone is battling the decision because of ‘what will people say? ‘ Aren’t they saying now? You can never please human beings. Even now they are still talking about how big you are; when you lose the weight they will talk about how small you are, some will be jealous that they couldn’t afford it, some will be happy for you, just do it,” Mama Muthoni said.
Dealing with opinions
She encouraged people considering weight loss to do their research and make informed decisions. Mama Muthoni shared that she had a sleeve procedure. She noted that it has been done for over 30 years; its pros and cons are known.
“Do your research, make informed decisions. I had a sleeve done. It’s been done for over 30 years, so pros and cons are well known,” Mama Muthoni said.
Mama Muthoni spoke about weight loss injections and said she believes they have side effects.
“Even with the injections, I do believe there are side effects. I just feel like… they are making money from it, but they make more from us being fat and unwell, so they will sell the side effects more. I don’t know,” Mama Muthoni said.
