Ano ang mga bagay na nakakapagpasaya kay Moira dela Torre?
Tumawa muna si Moira bago sumagot, “Tulog po saka ano… yung pusa ko po, I think…
"Hindi po ako ready sa tanong ninyo,” at natawa ang singer na ipinakilala bilang brand ambassador ang 15-in-1 coffee na Bona Slim.
Busy raw kasi siya sa work.
Sa pagpapatuloy ng 30-year-old star, “Tinatapos ko po kasi yung album ko ngayon, so medyo naka-work mode po talaga ako.
"I think that does make me feel good, accomplishing things and, you know, finishing something I started.
“Lalo na kung matagal na siyang kailangan natapos.
"But good things take time and when it finally comes into completion after a very long time of waiting, that makes you feel very good."
Pahabol niya, "Saka French fries po."

Moira dela Torre's WEIGHT ISSUES
Weight ang isa sa mga naging topics during the press launch.
March 2023 nung masayang ibinalita ni moira na 60 pounds—from 180 pounds to 120 pounds—ang nabawas sa timbang niya matapos i-work up ang kanyang hormones with a doctor for more than year.
Ano ang mensahe niya para sa mga tao na kasalukuyang nagdurusa dahil sa weight issues at nakakaranas ng body-shaming?
“Don’t be too hard on yourself. I think, I know that that’s such a cliché, and to be honest po, parang how I started losing weight, it is when I stopped trying."

WHAT Moira WENT THROUGH TO LOSE WEIGHT
Saka niya binalikang-tanaw ang kanyang mga ginawa para pumayat.
“So in 2020, I actually started all these diets, I was vegan for a while, I did keto, I did intermittent, I did everything, I’ve tried everything.
"And I’m sorry, but I have to say this for parang trigger warning, I became bulimic for 2 years in 2020 to 2022, and it only worsened my situation, and it got me to gain more weight actually."
How Moira lost WEIGHT
Interestingly, hindi pala diet o exercise ang makapagpapapayat sa kanya.
Importante na nalang niya ang cause with the help of an expert.
Sa isang Instagram post noong March 10, 2023, ni-reveal niya ang mga dahilan kung bakit hirap siyang pumayat.
Sa pamamagitan ng "hormone test," nalaman niyang may kinalaman ang "stress, depression and misdiagnosed PCOS."
Saad pa niya, "I've been known to be someone whose weight fluctuated a lot — and i'd get conscious, not really because of my physical appearance, but moreso because of how I felt internally.
"I always felt uncomfortable and unable to function at my best. So when we got to the real root of all the misalignment, she knew exactly which supplements to give me and the rest is history."
At that time, hindi lang weight issues niya ang na-resolve kundi pati na rin ang kanyang "hypothyroidism, estrogen dominance, and infertility."
Looking back, malaking bagay na binago niya ang kanyang attitude.
“...when I stopped putting pressure on myself and when I just started allowing myself to just be, dun po parang kumalma yung katawan ko, and I started losing weight gradually.
“I think alam ng katawan natin pag naalagaan siya nang tama, alam ng katawan natin kapag minamahal siya nang tama, so self-love is not a selfish thing."
Napakaganda ng mensahe ni Moira sa mga taong mababa ang tingin sa sarili nang dahil sa weight.
Aniya, "And to the people who are trying to lose weight, to the people who are trying to not care about the bullying, I want you to care more about what you think about yourself, because that matters more...
"I had to take so much time to think that I was beautiful before I saw any change physically, and then the physical change happened."
Ang self-love para kay Moira ay literal na pagpapahalaga sa sarili, maging ang pagtingin mo rito.
“We are beautiful and ang dami mo nang magagandang traits bago ka pa…bago mo pa makuha yung goal mong weight, coz weight can fluctuate, but your heart, that’s where real change happens.
"And I’m just very, very thankful because everything happened so gradually, it wasn’t like a quick thing, it wasn’t a quick fix.
"And so when Bona Slim and I, this is not just because, you know, this is a brand partnership, but when I first met-up with Bona Slim, they were saying they’re promoting gradual change, and so everything really felt like it was in line.
"So, my message to the people who are going on a journey that I have been on, don’t be too hard on yourself and be unapologetic when it comes to choosing yourself, it’s not a bad thing."

HOW WEIGHT LOSS CHANGED Moira's LIFE
Akmang-akma raw ang tagline ng Bona Slim, ang "feel good inside," sa kanyang weight loss dahil hindi lamang pisikal ang nabago sa kanya.
Lahad ng singer, “My life definitely changed a lot, but I think bago pa po yung weight loss, it is more internal first, and it just manifested eventually, physically...
"I think the change really started internally first, before it manifested externally and my life changed so much after the last two and a half years.
“I’ve become, you know, happier, but not because of what happened physically, but because of the healing that I experienced inside.”

Samantala, sa naging journey naman ni Moira sa music industry, masasabi ba niyang malayo na ang narating niya?
Pakli ni Moira, “Siguro po, pero more than…I think kung titingnan ko, mas marami naman po talagang mas magaling, mas marami pong mas deserving in terms of talent.
"But I know that I’ve worked hard, I’ve done my part, but I also know that I will not be where I am now if not for the people around me and if not for God, so I can never take full credit for what I have now.”
Nakausap ng miyembro ng media si Moira nitong Martes, March 19, 2024, sa Plaza Ibarra sa Timog Avenue, Quezon City sa launch niya bilang Bona Slim endorser.
