Yen Santos opened up about her weight loss journey, saying she came to a point where she became so frustrated with her weight that she could not look at herself in the mirror.
The actress spoke about this while showing photos of herself from before she started losing weight, through her Instagram page on Friday, May 16.
“Last year, I gained so much weight that I barely recognized myself. It was the heaviest I’d ever been and honestly, I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror,” she said.
“I just didn’t like what I saw. Nothing fit anymore! And the frustration started to weigh heavier than the actual weight,” she added.
Santos initially tried going on a diet and working out, but this did not work for her.
“I eat when I’m happy, when I’m stressed. Basically, I eat my feelings. So the cycle just kept repeating,” she recalled, noting how it all changed only after she sought medical advice.
Santos then thanked her doctors who helped her in her weight loss journey.
“I started seeing results fast. I lost 3 kgs in just the first week. Since then, I’ve just been feeling better and better,” she said.
“From 72 kilos to 51 kgs in two months, and more importantly, I’ve found the confidence I lost along the way,” she enthused. “It’s still a journey, but now I know I’m finally on the right path with the right people.”
