Hola, TBJ Beshies! I'm currently brushing up on my digital marketing and social media knowledge this week that's posts haven't been on time as usual; will try to get back on track very soon! But of course, I can't leave you guys without any read at all so here's one from May:
Hi Ms. Martha,
First of all, I'd like to say that I'm a huge fan of your blog; I've been a reader since 2011 and have been reading since; I'm also happy to know that you're finally doing Youtube and Facebook videos now; so nice to finally hear your voice and see the woman behind one of the best blogs in PH in action!
I am also following your fitness journey; how I wish I can lift like you. This leads me now to my question: How do you respond to body shamers? I am not overweight, but I am big boned and have a bit of fat here and there; I work out three times a week either by running, boxing, and when my schedule permits, I join hiking trips with friends. I've been living an active lifestyle for quite some time now, but my body is naturally thick and on the heavy side (blame it on genetics as well).
Some of my friends and worse, family members would always make fun of my body and say "Nagwoworkout ka ba talaga?" or "Ang laki laki mo parin kahit nagwoworkout ka." or "Dapat siguro more workout and more diet ka." It's frustrating to hear it from people who are dear to you and maddening at the same time because you want their support and they also have no idea what I'm going through internally and physically when I work out for them to say that; there are a lot of times I want to give up, but I still persist.
You seem to be a very confident person that's why I look up to you. So I just want your advice on how to deal with body shamers. I can't get rid of them because unfortunately, they're family!
May
Hi May!
Thank you very much for being a fan! I'm so happy that you've been supporting me since 2011 and no kidding when I say I would definitely love to meet you soon; I hope to see you in my upcoming workshops and anniversary parties, alright?
Can I let you in on a secret? I'm not always as confident as I seem on social media.
