Vinia Vivar / FRANKLY SPEAKING

IN her lengthy Instagram post, ibinahagi ni Jessy Mendiola ang mga dinaanang paghihirap para lang ma-achieve ang kanyang weight goal. Ginutom daw niya ang sarili just to look perfect.

“Losing/maintaining weight has always been a struggle for me. I only started taking my health seriously some time last year. It’s so hard to be in tip-top shape especially when a lot of people try to put you down and tell you how you’re supposed to look. Sometimes you’re too thin, sometimes too fat.

“I used to hate my thighs and arms. I would always kill myself at the gym just to achieve unrealistic body goals and starve myself just to reach my weight goal, 100 lbs. (2nd pic, 110 lbs.),” simula ng post ni Jessy.

She went on, dumating sa puntong nagkaroon daw siya ng Binge Eating Disorder (B.E.D) at Bulimia Nervosa.

“I was depressed and heartbroken at that time (2013) and I gained 25 lbs (3rd pic). I still kept pushing myself to work out every day. I suffered from Bulimia and B.E.D. (Binge Eating Disorder), desperate to lose weight in a short period of time – from 135 lbs. I went down to 103 lbs. (4th pic).

“I starved myself just to lose unwanted weight... to look “perfect” but I was so unhappy. I couldn’t live my life the way I wanted to. I was usually weak and “lutang” because I didn’t have enough nutrients in my body,” sey niya.

Nagpatuloy daw ang struggle niya until 2017 at last year lang daw nagkaroon ng pagbabago at ito ay dahil na rin sa tulong ng boyfriend na si Luis Manzano and two other people she mentioned.

“This kept going until 2016 when I suddenly gained all the weight back and eventually hit my heaviest weight, 140 lbs.

“Because of all the hate online, the struggle with myself kept going until 2017 (5th pic). It was only last year when I started changing my workouts and eating habits with the help of @bodybymamakat & @nadinetengco and of course to @luckymanzano.”

Si Luis daw ang naging daan para maka-recover siya sa depresyon dahil na rin sa pagmamahal na ipinaparamdam sa kanya.

“He made me feel better every time I felt so insecure about myself and he helped me recover from my depression and made me feel loved every single day.”

Sa huli ay nagpahayag ang aktres ng kanyang advice sa mga makakabasa na kailangan lang ay tanggapin ang sarili tulad ng ginawa niya.

“Sorry for this long caption. I guess all I’m trying to say is, it doesn’t matter how long it takes for you to find inner peace and whatever works for you, just stick to that. I am far from perfect but this is who I am and this is how I love myself.

“I love myself enough to eat what I want to make myself feel good. I love myself enough to move everyday because I want to live my life as best as possible. I know it’s hard sometimes but you just gotta stand back up and try again.

“To whoever is reading this, accept yourself and work hard to be the best

version of yourself. You do YOU. Btw, I’m doing a fitness journey vlog soon comment below what you want me to share with you,” pagtatapos ni Jessy.

Maraming netizens ang na-inspire sa post ni Jessy at malaking tulong daw ito para sa mga taong nakakaranas ng weight struggles.

Nakakatuwa rin ang comment ni Luis na “Proud of you” na sinagot naman ni Jessy ng heart emoticon.

Isa nga sa mga nagkomento at pumuri ay si Iza Calzado who as we all know ay dumaan din sa ganitong problema during her teen years.
