Gab Valenciano

SA loob lamang ng dalawang buwan, na-achieve na ng musician-director na si Gab Valenciano ang tinatarget na healthier and hunky body.

Ibinandera ng anak ni Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano sa social media ang nakakabilib na body transformation sa pamamagitan ng kanyang before-and-after photos.

Sa Instagram ipinost ni Gab ang ilang litrato na kuha sa lugar kung saan siya nagwo-workout ma may caption na, “Physical and mental health is the true definition of wealth.

“Earlier this year, I wasn’t in a good place, battled anxiety and lost 20 pounds due to not eating and not sleeping properly. My mental struggles manifested, hence, my critical weight loss,” pag-amin ni Gab.

Aniya pa, “Considering that my weight is my greatest insecurity, it really messed me up. I hated what I saw in the mirror, so I had to make a choice. And I chose to fight.

“I surrounded myself with people who pushed me, who encouraged me and who helped me gain back my fire. And that goal was to start loving and taking care of ‘me’ again,” chika pa niya.

Kasunod nito, nagpasalamat si Gab sa lahat ng mga taong tumulong sa kanya para mas maging active at makalimutan ang mga bagay na nagbibigay sa kanya ng anxiety.

“You all are the real MVPs of my life. I feel stronger than ever, confident, and most importantly, happy,” aniya.

Nagbigay din siya ng inspiring message para sa kanyang mga tagasuporta at socmed followers, “Make a decision to be better today, just life in general, and take it one day at a time. No need to rush. You’ll get there, you just need to keep walking towards the right direction.”

Kamakailan lang ay nag-post din si Gab ng mensahe sa IG para sa lahat ng umalalay sa kanya habang nakikipaglaban sa mental health issues. 

“I just want to say thank you. Thank you to every single person who raised me up. I appreciate you because there were points in my life where I just didn’t know where to go. 

“But there you guys were, lighting the way. To my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to my family, my friends, my loved ones (and those who visited and messaged who I wasn’t able to include in this post) and even complete strangers who encouraged me through every social platform, thank you.

“With every hospitalization, every realization, every lesson learned, every misstep and every big and small battle won, I am living the life I need to be living right now and I am exactly where I need be.

“I am far from perfect and I have a very long way to go, but I am excited to strive, to aspire and to reach for as many stars as I can. I am excited to see where this insane adventure of a life takes me and in turn, help others achieve wonders, dream wildly and live a purpose-driven life.

“Thank you to each and every person who helped me get to this point. I will never, ever forget,” he said, adding, “I am alive because of you,” sabi pa ni Gab na na-diagnose noong 2019 ng bipolar disorder and clinical depression.
