Though she had faced the issue a thousand times over in the past, Kim Chiu still couldn’t believe how fans have been unceasingly fussy about her weight.
“Whenever I get the chance to read blogs and web forums, I almost always read comments about my weight—about how thin I am…how skinny my arms are…fans could worry so much sometimes,” said Kim…
“But what can I do? As I said before, I am not anorexic. This [type of body structure] runs in the family.”
Concern about Kim’s weight heightened last year when critics started haranguing her for supposedly promoting an “unhealthy image.”
“She or her management or whatever…they’re confusing people…and to think she’s endorsing what…? A softdrink… ? An instant pancit brand…? And to top it off she has this multivitamin brand too…no wonder she looks so sickly…she [her diet] is all artificial,” says a veteran writer.
“Have we really reached a point where a celebrity could resemble a malnourished child from a UNICEF ad and still not cause a fuss? Are we legitimately considering this kind of body type as normal?” asked a blogger.
Kim admits remarks about her weight sometimes get her down.
“It got to a point that I don’t want to read newspapers or surf the ‘net ’cause that’s [weight issue] all I read.”
But she’s not taking it sitting down. Since the subject was raised, Kim said she immediately took the initiative to enrol in a fitness center.
“I decided I need to do it for my own good…not because of the critics…so right now, I’m working hard to develop my physique. Actually, I try to do extra sets at the gym even if sometimes I want to give up and my knees are about to buckle,” she said, smiling.
Her home studio also helps her out by assigning a nutritionist to devise a healthy program for her.
“I’m now eating healthy using a list they have prepared for me and I try to follow it to the letter.”
And it is working. According to the young actress, she has gained a bit of weight since starting the regimen.
“A few pounds – and that’s something to be proud of! I think…”
