Can I still be a flight attendant if I am chubby or overweight? Hey guys, it's Miss Kakris and welcome back to my channel. This is actually an advice channel for all people who wants to be a flight attendants. And today's video is going to be a part of the series that we're that is going on in the channel. It's an ongoing series. Okay, so we're in on this series. I keep on answering questions that you might have about if you can still be a flight attendant if so and so and so is your situation. Okay, so if you want to know the answer to that question, just keep on watching. So we all have this idea of a flight attendant. Where in they are supposed to be sexy, skinny, tall, beautiful. Okay, but what I just want to make a point here on this video is that we all have our own definitions of beauty. Some people define beauty as somebody who is volatious, it's beautiful to them. Someone's stick and bones, stick and bones or skin and bones. Okay, just like sometimes you put fine and attractive and sometimes don't. Okay, so naturally beauty is something that we cannot put in one category. So that's my belief and as well as when it comes to the industry of being a flight attendant that is also through. Very true. That is why the people who are hiring for flight attendants they are from different varieties of beauty. Okay, you can see there is a Chinita beauty, there is a Morena beauty, there is a United States kind of beauty or PN beauty and then there's the Afro beauty. So there is no one specific standard of beauty and the airlines know this. They know this for a fact. That's why when it comes to wave they don't always hire only the skinny ones. That's so wrong, that's not true. Actually you could be in trouble if you are too skinny. Aside from the standard of beauty that we have, okay, that settled, we all have different types of beauty and so they hire different kinds of women. Okay, whether you are chubby or skinny or in the middle they will still hire you. If you are somebody that adheres to all the requirements and the standards that they need in their specific airline. Okay, so having said that there is something that we also call a BMI or the body mass index. You have, this is like a measurement of how much weight you should range from with your specific height. So this is a very specific measurement and this is not to judge but this is something that is done medically to measure how healthy you are. Okay, so the lifestyle of a flight attendant is not the lifestyle of an 8 to 5 employee. We all know that, it's a different lifestyle. There are days that you will not be able to sleep at night and there are days that your days are very long. Sometimes it's very short. It's dynamic and it's spontaneous. So they need people who are healthy enough to do the job. And what is the number one indicator of health? It is your weight, okay, it is your height and weight proportion. So that is what BMI measures, okay? So if you have a specific height, for example, for me I am 165 cm. So I'm supposed to have a weight that is 52 to 62 kg. Okay, so those are the the weight that I have to be in to be considered healthy. To be considered somebody who is capable to do a physical job which is the job of a flight attendant. It's a physical job. Whether or not that my weight is like for example under or over it, whether or not I look chubby or I look skinny. As long as I'm within the normal range, I'm in. Okay, so my advice for you guys is don't be too harsh on yourself when you're judging yourself. Listen to the voices that tips on your head. Voice says that says you're too chubby, you're too fat, you're too, you're not, you're never going to be a flight attendant. These are voices that are going on in our heads and we as the person who wants to become a flight attendant we have to be aware of this. And sometimes it is our own lens that is stopping us from our dream. So make sure that you catch them, put them in the same on the light, put them on a spotlight and see if it is really true. Check your BMI, check if you are within the range or within that if you are somebody who's considered like really obese or really out there. Then take steps to correct that. Okay, take steps to reach your ideal weight. Ideal weight is not just one weight, it's a range of weight. Okay, so it's like like I said 52 to 62 something like that. So just focus on being healthy because that is the main reason that is the main factor that they are looking for for candidates. Okay, you have to be kinder to yourself. You have to be your own best friend. You have to be your own cheerleader. You have to be the number one person that tells yourself this is okay. Get it all, get it boom. I can do this. Okay, so that's how you should be. Okay, so that's all that I have to say about the topic of overweight. I cannot really say specific things because the weight issue will depend, it will depend on your height as well. So each and every one of us is different height and weight, you know, different height and different weight range that we need to have. I want to introduce you guys to my book.
