Actress Yen Santos recently revealed her personal battle with weight gain, sharing how it deeply affected her self-image. She opened up on her Instagram about the emotional toll the added weight took on her confidence and daily life.

She further explained, “I just didn’t like what I saw. Nothing fit anymore! And the frustration started to weigh heavier than the actual weight.” This candid admission highlights the mental struggles that often accompany physical changes.

First week pa lang, I lost 3 kgs agad! Since then, I’ve just been feeling better and better. From 72 kilos to 51 kgs in 2 months, and more importantly, I’ve found the confidence I lost along the way,” she shared.
Her story is an inspiring reminder that perseverance and proper support can lead to positive change. Yen acknowledges that the journey isn’t over yet but feels optimistic about the path she’s on. “It’s still a journey, but now I know I’m finally on the right path with the right people,” she added.
