“Do you know that comments that are put out there without any ill intention in mind can be scarring?
“You may wonder how can that be? They may bring up past wounds. Most especially if they are repeated over and over as if to make you believe that there is something so terribly wrong with oneself.
“All my life I’ve been hearing these comments: ‘Ay ang payat mo. Anorexic ka ba? Kumain ka naman para ka ng liliparin ng hangin. Mukha kang sitaw. Pag hindi mag pataba mawawalan ka ng trabaho.
“’Mas maganda ka pag mataba ka. Ay ang taba mo na. Medyo nagkalaman ka.. napasarap ata kain natin. Papayat ka ulit. Mas gusto ko na payat kesa mataba.. gaan ng problema mo Chynna.’ And so on..
“It is a very vicious cycle. And yes even people who like me were born with a metabolism so fast we burn calories like a boss need to share. The concern is much appreciated but then again the way it is said is something that needs to be talked about.
“It’s funny you know because from the time we are conceived our death clock also starts ticking & its a real battle to keep fighting & living in this world.
“All I’m saying is we need to try to be impeccable with what we say. Mindful in the intention. Because people have scars and we do not want to add on to it. It’s been a struggle for me to feel that I meet the seal of approval as they say.
“But really who does? But again, back to my sharing.. you have the ability to tranform lives through the use of tone & words. Speak kindly to yourself & one another. Yes even if its a hard subject to chew it can still be done with respect and empowerment.
“So here is my present state:
“I am 38 years old, straddling the 89-90 lbs. mark because I have decided to listen to my body and let food be thy medicine. My dream is to continue to be a force of a woman to my children, husband & all humans that I will be blessed to cross paths with. So I want to heal myself to be able to heal other people as well. Thank you to those who are kind enough to ask me how I am. All is well,” Chynna posted on Instagram.
