Celebrity mom Melissa Ricks tears down the veil about her weight loss journey. In her Instagram post last August 8, she flexed her amazing transformation and is now a lot slimmer than her body back in May.
But Mommy Melissa admitted that shedding off the extra pounds can be challenging because of her stress eating.
She shared on IG, “My waist was 39in, now 35! I'm proud to say that I lost 12lbs eating what I want, no diet restrictions, and the best part is I lost INCHES!
“Problem is my relationship with food isn't so good. Once I feel stressed, I go to food for comfort, which has caused this yo-yo diet for years!! So now Sometimes napapaisip ako, ay 12lbs lang?”
Melissa reminded everyone to be kind to their body and shouldn't rush things just to get slimmer.
The Kapamilya talent stressed to her followers, “Sometimes we tend to discourage ourselves, by thinking "ONLY" or not FAST enough, but you know what, there is so much more than losing weight, HEALTH! What I'm using now is All natural, mas kampante ako, and it's a - slowly but surely journey.
“NO RUSH, and being KIND to my body, because we dont want to pay the prices when we get older, on how we treated our bodies now, so be kind to your body now, build a relationship with your body, and the rest will follow.”
In May 2021, Melissa confirmed her wedding with non-showbiz partner Michael Macatangay in California. The two have been blessed with two children, Mikaela and Kiera. The latter is Melissa's child with her ex Charles Togezaki.
