‘I was diagnosed with about 10 illnesses after hitting 120kg’ – Tima Kumkum

Media personality Tima Kumkum has disclosed a series of frightening health diagnoses she had after gaining significant weight following childbirth.

She said that was the turning point that pushed her to completely transform her lifestyle.

Speaking in an interview on Adom TV, Tima recounted that although her weight initially returned to normal after giving birth two years ago, she later gained so much weight that she began experiencing worrying health challenges.

According to her, she became exhausted after taking short walks and would struggle for breath whenever she climbed the stairs at work, prompting her to seek medical attention.

“I weighed 120kg at the time. I am a short person, so the weight I was carrying was too much. The doctor told me there was something wrong with my BMI. He said my BMI looked like that of a 60-year-old, even though I was about 37 then. My cholesterol had also shot up, and he diagnosed me with about 10 illnesses,” she said.

Tima explained that her doctor advised her that her ideal weight should be around 75kg and warned her not to dismiss her condition as simply a result of childbirth.

“He told me by hook or crook I needed to lose weight because that was why I was getting dizzy randomly,” she added.

The media personality also recalled facing intense body shaming on social media, especially after posting photos from her child’s naming ceremony while serving as an ambassador for a slimming product.

However, she said the online criticism did not affect her as much as the doctor’s alarming diagnosis.

She noted that she completely changed her eating habits, stressing that diet played the biggest role in her transformation.

Today, Tima says she has successfully reduced her weight to 75kg, her BMI has returned to normal, and her cholesterol level has significantly improved.

“Right now I have reached 75 kg. My BMI is back to normal, my cholesterol is almost gone, all because I am eating well. I currently eat once a day,” she stated.
