Social media entrepreneur Najat Achiama has disclosed that, unlike people\u2019s perceptions, she has no plans of losing weight. Instead, she hopes to gain more pounds because she feels comfortable in her body and would love to add on weight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an interview on SVTV Africa With DJ Nyaami, Najat indicated that despite the disadvantages of being a plus-size woman, she is plus-size and proud. Najat mentioned that she would only lose weight based on health issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very comfortable in my skin. I\u2019ve never for once thought of losing weight. If it\u2019s for health reasons, fine, but I\u2019m healthy. If you are plus size and fit, then you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n
I eat well and get fit for myself, but I\u2019ve never thought of reducing to your size. I wouldn\u2019t mind adding more weight. I aspire to be a size 28, but I\u2019m currently a size 24. The last I checked, I weighed 130kg,\u201d she stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking on some disadvantages, Najat mentioned that she was denied a job offer due to the perception that plus-size people are lazy. This experience motivated her decision to start a business selling women\u2019s undergarments.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI interviewed for a job, and they knew that I was qualified for the position. But there was a woman there who said I was the only one qualified, but \u2018I\u2019m thinking of your weight.\u2019 They associate plus-size people with laziness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So it becomes tough for us to get jobs. Even though so,e plus size people are lazy, some slim people are also very lazy,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
