Jessy Opens Up About Fitness With Post-Workout Selfie

FHM Sexiest Woman Jessy Mendiola just proves that she is relatable to us mere mortals — after having been heralded as this year’s Sexiest Woman, topping the FHM sexiest polls, she has still been at the receiving end of backlash and body shaming, saying that she was “too fat” or “not sexy enough.”

Hooray for Jessy staying positive about her body despite the hate, but in a post-workout selfie she posted on Instagram, she gets real about her struggles with staying fit. And honestly, who hasn’t felt this at one point?

She says:

Last night I finished late from shooting and when I got home, I ate one bag of popcorn and chocolates while watching tv. Yes people, I do that too. I binge eat at night sometimes when I’m tired.

Here’s the entire post:

No. I’m not posting this for your approval or hate. I’m posting this because I’m happy to show my progress. Last night I finished late from shooting and when I got home, I ate one bag of popcorn and chocolates while watching tv. Yes people, I do that too. I binge eat at night sometimes when I’m tired. I’m not really proud of it because it’s not healthy, but hey, I’m a human being and sometimes I just really give in. You know what’s the best thing about it? I learned that you really have to treat yourself once in a while. Especially when you’re tired. But make sure you balance it out by exercising and eating healthy most days. I’ve tried all those fad diets and starvation/fasting stuff. Trust me, they don’t work. You’re probably thinking “So ano ba talaga point niya?” My point is, it doesn’t matter how long it takes. Do not abuse your body. Eat. Move. Enjoy. I admit, I do feel guilty sometimes but I know it’s a process. A long journey but a worthwhile one. ????????❤️ Thank you @mamakatfitness for teaching me patience and balance. Thank you also to @thehealthyhouseph for providing me the right meals. ???????????????? Strong is indeed beautiful, and right now I feel at my prettiest. #notobodyshaming #strongissexy #bodybymamakat
