Angel Locsin opens up about her weight loss journey

Angel Locsin, an actress and philanthropist, admitted to having "struggles and bumps" on her weight-loss journey, but advised those who are on the same path to go at their own pace and not succumb to peer pressure. On Wednesday night, when images of her with a much smaller body went viral, Locsin spoke freely about the subject. Locsin is seen posing in gym gear to share her weight-loss success in those images, which she posted the night before. Locsin recently showed a closeup of her tummy with a cheerful face drawn on it in a new Instagram photo. "To begin, I'd want to add that learning how to position correctly can help you look thinner, as evidenced by my recent viral post. "I believe everyone who posts OOTDs or watches 'Top Model' knows this," she stated, alluding to the popular reality show. "So, if you're battling to lose weight, don't feel obligated to do so. "I tell you that having battled weight gain for years, I realize how difficult it is," she remarked. Locsin, who debuted in the entertainment industry in 2002, has starred in a number of action roles that have shown her toned physique throughout the years. In 2005 and 2010, readers of FHM voted her the "Sexiest Woman Alive." She suffered a spine injury in 2015, which severely hampered her movements, including the strenuous workouts she was used to, such as weightlifting. A few months after photographs of her fuller form circulated on social media, Locsin announced she had started a new diet and exercise regimen to address her weight gain in June of this year. "Pressure hasn't worked and won't work," she declared on Wednesday. "Just take your time," says the narrator. Your body has its own set of regulations. Just remember to appreciate every inch of yourself in the process, regardless of what others may say.” "You are more than your size or appearance. What matters is how you feel and perceive yourself. Shine. Don't let other people's perceptions of you dim your light. I know you're making an effort. I understand how difficult it is. "I understand," Locsin says to her fans. Locsin said her own weight-loss approach is still a “work in progress,” and that she is still dealing with problems in the midst of her victories. “I was able to thin down gradually, but I recognize that I'm still a work in progress. Even yet, I'm in a terrific mood right now. I've been focusing on my health and attempting something new. I'll tell you more about my process and journey when I'm more confident, na. "However, there will be challenges and setbacks," she added. “I'm not going to let anyone set my pace for me. But I'm excited to see what I can do in the next three months or so. "Fats and all, I adore you."
