SINGER Leila Alcasid opened up about her eating disorder which has resulted in her fluctuating body weight.
However, the daughter of singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid and former beauty queen Michelle Van Eimeren said she is learning to love herself and her body.
“I am slowly learning how to be kind to myself and my body, and it’s the most wonderful feeling,” she said in an Instagram post on April 7.
Alcasid admitted getting affected by what others said about her body.
“People would comment on it both in life and on social media, and I was constantly told I wasn’t thin enough, even when I was eating so little. I allowed the opinions of others to have such a grip on me, and it was incredibly damaging,” she said.
According to her, she finally learned to love and embrace her body and all its imperfections.(ABS-CBN News)
