This is how positive Gabbi Garcia’s mindset is sa kabila ng karamdamang dumapo sa kanya.
On her Instagram, the Kapuso actress gave her fans and friends alike updates tungkol sa kanyang kalusugan.
Taong 2018 daw nang ma-diagnose siyang nagtataglay ng polycystic ovary syndrome o PCOS.
However, Gabbi chose to keep it to herself.
Aniya: “Movement became my safe space, my stress reliever, my reset. I didn’t start working out to chase a certain body. I started because I wanted to feel strong, healthy and good in my own skin.”
Bagama’t sinarili niya ang kanyang sakit, it was three years ago when she pushed herself to move: “To show up for my body and take care of it instead of fighting it.”
Mabilis din daw kasi ang kanyang pagtaba–kadalasa’y ipinagkakanulo siya ng kanyang hitsura sa TV.
“Minsan okey ako kung ‘di bloated. But there are a lot of days when I feel bloated, with a moon face…the PCOS belly and everything else that comes with it,” dagdag niya.
Acceptance is the key.
At kasabay nito is the attitude na keber kung hindi na siya sexy.
“I’ve reached the point where all that matters is I’m strong and healthy,” ani Gabbi.
By that, she’s referring to the ability to carry herself well: “‘Yung kaya kong tumakbo, kaya ko ang sarili ko.”
At ang mala-beauty pageant answer niya: “Being sexy the way society defines it is honestly the least of my priorities.”
Ang sikreto daw ay simple lang–be kinder to yourself.
