Matapos ang latest Instagram post ni Angel Locsin na nagpapakita ng unti-unti niyang pagpayat, marami umano sa mga netizens ang 'nainggit' at tila napressure na gayahin ang 800-calorie diet nito.
Kaya naman sa panibagong Instagram post ni Angel nitong Setyembre 23, agad siyang nagbigay ng mensahe para sa lahat ng mga nagnanais na ring 'magbalik-alindog.' Ipinakita pa niya ang larawan ng isang belly na may guhit na 'smiley.'
"Hello everyone! About my recent post that became viral, first, I want to say that knowing how to pose the right way can help you look slimmer. I think everyone who posts OOTDs or watched Top model knows this," ani Angel.
"So for those struggling to lose that extra weight, please don’t feel pressured. I tell you that I understand that it’s not easy, having been fighting weight gain for years."
Paalala niya, hindi umano makakatulong ang pressure; dapat daw ay 'take your time' lamang at namnamin ang mga sandali ng pagbabalik sa nais na hugis ng katawan. Ang mahalaga raw ay panloob na pagtingin sa sarili. Nauunawaan niya na mahirap itong gawin, subalit kakayanin.
"Pressure did not and will not help. Just take your time. Your body, your rules. Just don’t forget to love every inch of you in the process, no matter what other people may say. You are more than your weight or how you look. What’s important is how you feel and think of yourself. Shine. Don’t let the perception of others dim your light. I know you are trying. I know it’s hard. I understand."
Totoo umano na pumayat na siya, pero ito raw ay work in progress pa rin. Ginagawa niya umano ito upang mas maging healthy pa.
"Second, slowly, yes I was able to slim down—but I’m acknowledging that I’m still a work in progress. Though I feel good now. I’ve been taking care of my health and trying out something new. I will share with you my process and journey some other time, when I’m more confident na. But this is not without struggles and bumps."
"I will not let anyone dictate my pace. But I am looking forward to what I can achieve in the next 3 months or so. Love you, fats and all," pagtatapos niya.
Ang sikreto ni Angel ay ang 800-calorie diet na inihahanda ng isang chef para sa kaniya, gayundin, may personal trainer din siya para naman sa mga ehersisyo.
