Sharon Cuneta showcases her size 10 figure in swimsuit

By Cara Emmeline Garcia

Megastar Sharon Cuneta is certainly practicing what she preaches. On Monday, January 4, she took to Instagram to share a series of stunning snaps in swimwear.

The 54-year-old singer-actress looked confident in her navy blue swimsuit as she posed for the camera and declared that she has officially trimmed down to a size 10.

“Went swimming and had this picture taken today,” she shared.

“Now my swimsuit is a size 10. I haven't been a 10 in many years. My normal size when I was thin was a 6 or an 8, and I would panic na pag 8!”

To bring back her size 6 self, Sharon shared that she needs to lose 20 more pounds. She's been trying to shed the excess weight for years.

“After so many years of trying to get rid of all this extra weight and losing anywhere from 60 to 80 lbs, 20 doesn't seem like too much work anymore,” she continued.

“Please pray for me. Then watch me! Hahaha!

“Thank you, Lord, for that all-important bonk on the head before 2020 ended that knocked me into my senses -- now it's even been helping me lose weight! Nyahahaha! Galing ng Diyos talaga. Love you, everyone! Thanks for your loving messages.”

In a follow-up post, the Megastar said the reason she donned the swimsuit was because it reminded her of the swimsuit she wore for the 1983 movie Friends in Love.

“I remembered pala just as I had worn this swimsuit, that it's almost the same as the Speedo I wore in the movie 'Friends in Love!' As in almost akala ko nga eksakto! Still love it.”

She ended the post with the hashtag, “#Size10NaShucksKontiNaLaaaaang.”

In the comments section of both posts, several celebrity friends and fans lauded Sharon Cuneta for the newfound confidence she displayed for the new year.

One fan even said, “Vampira!!! @reallysharoncuneta.”

To whom she replied, “Gusto ko nga gayahin dito ibang pose ni KC sa IG n'ya, e. Hahaha!”

Back in October, Sharon revealed to her more than 1.3 million followers that she's once again amping her fitness game for the sake of her health and to fit in her new set of clothes.

She told her fans in an IG post, “To be honest, this is the first time I am doing the treadmill in a very, very long time. I partly missed it, but a big part of me really does not like it.

“But, I have to do it for my health, and I want to look good in my clothes. I ordered clothes from abroad, and they have arrived -- I ordered them in a smaller size.

“If my clothes don't push me to fit into them, I don't know what will because medyo hindi siya masyadong mura.”
