Actress Dimples Romana recalled working at a young age and shared how she took care of her health throughout her career.
During the media conference for Santé Barley Max’s launch on March 8, she admitted that working at a young age led to her feeling burnt out.
“Ako po kasi I married young, and I also started working very young. In fact, I started working for my family, which is my Mama and my siblings, because my Papa passed on very early.
“I started working very early. So the trouble with people working so early in their lives and being the breadwinner for the family, mas madaling kang ma-burn out. Madali kang mapagod, madali kang mahulas kumbaga.”
Over time, she learned to make small steps towards a healthier lifestyle.
“I have learned, over time, na you have to take different kinds of steps to make sure that you are healthier, to make sure that you are taking these–kasi sa atin, feeling natin, the steps you have to take should always be big. Pero ang totoo, I’ve learned that in life talaga, when you want to lead a healthier lifestyle, it has to be that small steps every single day.”
Romana noted that she included Sante Barle Max in her morning routine to help her keep going with her active lifestyle.
“I have to drink one sachet of Sante Barley every morning. It so easy, it’s like part of my morning routine already. And it really gets me going. Ang dami ko pong ginagawa every morning kasi nakasanayan ko na, dahil bread winner ako, bihira po ako umasa sa iba.”
She then reacted to people noticing the changes in her figure, adding that she respects what her body is going through.
“I don’t care so much about the physical because I really love my body, whether I go thinner or thicker. And, you will be able to tell that for real because pag nanood ka ngayon ng TV or kung anong digital ano ‘yan, makikita mo, iba-iba ‘yung mga teleserye ko, iba-iba din ‘yung katawan ko.
“I don’t really mind because I respect what my body is going through at the moment. So kung may pinagdadaanan siyang ganon, nirerespeto ko ‘yun and I’ve learned to love it talaga and really embrace it.”
She reiterated that the small changes she made in her life helped her achieve her healthier body today.
“So ngayon, I found out that ah okay, I have to change little things in my daily routine, doon ko talaga naisip ‘yung ah try kong baguhin pa unti-unti because I’m not a fan of changing abruptly because natatakot ako to miscalculate my movements.
“At kapag little changes ‘yan at naging effective, makita mo nag-amount into something really healthy. Alam mo doon ako natuwa when they said, Dimps you lost weight but you look healthy. Doon ako natuwa. Kasi di ba? bihira ‘yun that when you lose weight, they say you look healthy.”
Romana starred in Kapamilya projects such as Kadenang Ginto, Bagani, and Viral: Scandal.
