"These pictures represent years of hard work and sacrifice. Today, I just wanted to celebrate this growth with all of you. Thanks for being there to cheer me on at my lowest moments. I hit my goal weight this week, finally ?" saad ni Paolo sa kaniyang latest Instagram post nitong Maros 9, 2022.
Payo niya sa madlang pipol, kung may nais mang gawing paglago, gawin ito para sa sarili at hindi para i-please ang ibang tao.

"If you are on a path of growth, do it out of love for yourself and do it for the people you love. Never do it just to please others, because it will never be enough. You are enough."
"You have so much to offer to the world. I know you're working hard. You got this. You're not alone. I'm rooting for you. I'm with you."
Hindi rin ikinahihiya ni Paolo ang kaniyang stretch marks, na makikita sa mga ibinahagi niyang litrato.
"In this picture, I also celebrate my stretch marks. Cause they're awesome. I also celebrate my past self, because he's awesome too."
Narito naman ang mga reaksyon at komento ng mga netizen.
"Thank you so much Pao for always encouraging us, in all ways! ? We're rooting for you also."
"And they are just as gorgeous as you. ❤️ I'd be happy to have those too once I reach my goal in the coming years."
"Thank you for this. I went through the same journey and lost almost half my weight (97kg to 57 kg). I've always been ashamed of the loose skin but now I see it as a battle scar. A reminder of what I was able to achieve when no one believed that I could do it. It was not a single moment that defined our journey because it is hundreds of days of continually deciding and choosing to continue."
Sa kaniyang IG story, makikita ang ilang kuhang clips ng kaniyang pagbubuhat ng dumb bells at pag-eehersisyo.
Samantala, nangako naman si Paolo na sa mga susunod na araw ay ibabahagi niya ang mga pinagdaanan upang ma-achieve ang kaniyang fitness goal.
"I'll share with you my struggles and how I got here, in the coming weeks ??," aniya sa comment section ng kaniyang post.
Sa isa pang IG post, ibinahagi naman niya ang video clip habang nagja-jogging at naglalakad-lakad, na bahagi pa rin ng kaniyang fitness journey. Nagsimula pala ang kaniyang weight loss journey bago pa magpandemya.
"Today, I want to be vulnerable and share a major life achievement with you all. Yesterday, I hit my goal weight ever since I started this weight loss commitment right before the pandemic. A big part of that has been running, on these roads (in the videos). I was never really a runner. I started from not being able to run straight for 2 minutes, to conquering 21 km," kuwento niya.
"I want to unapologetically celebrate this moment because it took literal blood, sweat, and tears to get to this point. I remember the countless struggles getting out of bed, being out of breath, and the times when I just mentally gave up. I had painful bouts with low self-esteem and loss of motivation."
"But I also remember the mini-victories, and the small breakthroughs, which are important to celebrate and acknowledge too. From the first time that I wasn't out of breath too quick, to that morning when I finished my goal distance even if it was raining so hard, I can say that through the past 2 years, I have grown so much not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually."
"A big part of that has been this running journey. It allowed me to develop focus and grit, but also to meditate and reflect. Even some great musical ideas arrived upon me while running. This has been one of the toughest battles of my life. But God granted me an extra push to persevere, one day at a time."
"I realized that maybe he gave me this capacity to endure and struggle, so that I may inspire at least one person out there. If you're struggling for a breakthrough, in school, work, life, for your body, or for your mind, yes rest for a bit, but know that you can get back stronger!! And you'll make it! If I did it, you can do it so much better."
"As you go through your own journey of growth, know that at all times you are accepted and loved, but also know that you have so much room to grow and be the best version of yourself. We just gotta put in the work, but we'll get there! I'm rooting for you."
Ang 'Ben &Ben' ay binubuo ng kambal na sina Paolo at Miguel Benjamin (Guico ang tunay nilang apelyido). 'The Benjamins' ang dating pangalan ng kanilang duo, na nabuo noong 2015. Sila ang nagpasikat ng awiting 'Lifetime', 'Pagtingin', at iba pa. Award-winning na rin sila dahil kinilala ang kanilang husay sa musika ng Awit Awards, Myx Awards, at Wish Awards.
Bukod sa kanilang pag-awit, trademark ng Ben & Ben ang kanilang mahabang buhok with matching eye glasses.
