Rita Daniela on weight issues: ‘Hindi dapat maging hadlang nag timbang’

Kapuso star and singer Rita Daniela said that weight should not hinder anyone from being successful.

On her social media accounts, Rita has been promoting body positivity among women of all shapes sizes.

“Kasi, ang body positivity, hindi lang naman iyan for the bigger side, e. Siyempre, dun din tayo sa smaller side,” Rita told pep.ph.

“Iba rin siyempre ang gusto nila na sana, nagkakalaman sila pero kahit anong kain ang gawin nila, hindi sila lumalaki,” she added.

Rita also said that sometimes talent is being overshadowed by body figures.

“Kasi, para po sa akin, tanggap natin lalo na sa Pilipinas, parang kahit gaano ka kagaling, hindi ka agad napapansin dahil sa timbang mo, di ba?Kasi, iisipin nila, ‘E, ang taba mo, e.’ E, ang liit mo, e,” she said.

The actress then explained why she promotes her body imperfection.

“Pero iyon po, kaya rin po pini-present ko itong sarili ko, kapag lalo akong mas imperfect, lalo ko iyong ipe-present. Kasi, living testimony ako ni Lord na hindi dapat maging hadlang iyong timbang!” she added.

Rita also has an advice to those who may be feeling insecure because of their body figure.

“Kung gusto mong ipakita sa mundo kung gaano ka kagaling, ipakita mo iyon. Hindi dapat maging hadlang yung timbang mo. Kasi, yung galing mo, hindi iyon makukuha ng iba, pero kung magpapayat ka, madali, e!

“Kung gusto mong magkalaman, madali, pero yung talento na meron ka, hindi yun makukuha ng iba,” Rita added.

She also recalled that there was a time when she tried losing weight.

“Kaya ayun, na-overfatigue. Kasi sinubukan pero wala, siguro iyon yung ano ng katawan ko talaga, e. Parang iyon nga, pumalya lang nang kaunti sa tulog, at pahinga, at siyempre sa pagkain din,” she added.
