Murugi Munyi shares emotional transformation after weight loss journey
By Valerian Khakayi, June 9, 2026Digital content creator Murugi Munyi has opened up about her emotional weight loss journey, reflecting on how a medically guided programme helped her transform both physically and mentally.
In a reflective statement shared on her official social media account on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, Murugi expressed gratitude for the journey she underwent, saying it gave her a new lease on life.
She added that looking at her past photos evokes mixed emotions, describing both detachment and deep remembrance of what she went through.
“Forever grateful for the journey. I took it with @halcyonhealthcare_ke. They gave me a new lease on life,” Murugi shared.
“I look at the first picture, and I barely remember what it felt like to exist in that body, and yet at the same time, I remember exactly what it felt like to exist in that body.”
Murugi also reflected on her personal growth, noting that she is proud of the progress she has made and the effort it took to regain her health.
“I’m so proud of her. She did what she needed to do to gain her life back, to be healthier, to lock in,” she added.
Past struggles
She further acknowledged the struggles she previously faced, saying she now has empathy for her past self who was trying to find help and direction.
“I have such empathy for her. For a long time, she struggled without knowing where to turn for help. She finally got what she needed,” Murugi stated.
Murugi on weight loss programmes
Murugi used her platform to encourage others considering weight loss programmes, particularly medically guided options, to seek help instead of struggling alone.
“If you’ve ever thought of going on a medicated (injectable) weight loss programme, but you doubt if it works, let me be your proof. It works,” she added.
She added that while losing weight is challenging, maintaining it is an even bigger task, noting that she is currently working on sustaining her progress.
“I’m now working on maintaining my weight (which is arguably more difficult than losing it), but we are managing well. Please don’t struggle alone – get help,” she stated.
