Venus Raj
NANIBAGO ang dating beauty queen at TV host na si Venus Raj nang muling sumabak sa photo shoot kamakailan.
Inamin ng dalaga na talagang na-conscious siya ng “major-major” habang nakaharap sa mga camera para nga sa bago niyang pictorial.
Nag-share si Venus ng ilang kaganapan sa nangyaring photo shoot sa pamamagitan ng Instagram. Aniya, nahirapan siyang mag-project sa bawat click ng camera.
“You know that feeling when you can’t do the things that you used to do excellently? Let me explain to you what I mean by that,” ang simulang pahayag ni Venus.
“It’s been a while since I did a photo shoot. Truth is I can’t remember when was the last one. So recently, this shoot was organized. And we finally did it!” aniya pa.
Kasunod nga nito, sinabi ni Miss Universe 2010 4th-runner up na totoong nag-gain siya ng weight nitong mga nakaraang buwan.
“How did I feel? I felt so rusty! Lost the confidence to model in front of the camera.
“Was so conscious about my body because I gained weight. And a bit sad that I can’t do excellently this thing that was so easy for me to do in the past.
“Do you feel my frustration? I wonder how many women out there feel the same way when people would tell them ‘uy! taba mo na ah! (you’ve gained so much weight!)’ Or when they feel unhealthy and cannot do the activities that they used to enjoy,” pahayag pa ni Venus.
Sa huli, pinaalalahanan ng dalaga ang lahat ng kababaihan na huwag hayaang maapektuhan ang positibong pananaw sa buhay ng idinidikta ng ibang tao.
“Ladies, I feel you. But let us not allow others and even our self-perception to steal the joy in our hearts. Yes! Let’s live a healthier life. Eat healthy food.
“Exercise for the right reasons. LADIES, YOUR WORTH IS NOT DEFINED BY YOUR WEIGHT!” diin ni Venus.
Dagdag pa niya, “This shoot has been an instrument for many realizations. Grateful for the people behind this photo!”
