I have a 19 year old brother diagnosed with autism since the age of 4. He can talk but barely construct complex sentences unlike neurotypical people.

Nakakadrain na siya sobra. He had a public meltdown. He just hit a random lady because I failed to kiss my parents during the peace be with you part in Sunday mass and they put the blame on me as I’m responsible for his triggers. My mom kept apologizing to the lady and she was kind enough to accept the apology. She was about to cry. That's our usual routine in Sunday mass and it was so awkward for me to kiss my parents kasi nag-away kami ng dad ko over small things due to his anger issues. He also hit our car.

Nagdadalawang isip nga ako kung mag-aanak pa ba ko or hindi na. I'd love to be a mom of three one day but I don’t want my future kids possibly developing autism because it's highly genetic. One of the risk factors of autism is first degree relatives. Tama yung decision ko na wag na ako magkaroon ng isa pang kapatid. Parang nawalan ako ng karapatan magkaroon ng sariling buhay kasi ako ang mag-aalaga sa kanya kapag wala na ang parents ko. Dalawa lang kasi kaming magkapatid.

KINDLY DO NOT SPREAD THIS IN OTHER PLATFORMS

I used to have really thick hair when I was younger. At 21, I have thin hair due to stress and calorie deficit to lose weight as a teen because I grew up being fat (If my family and relatives just refrained themselves from pointing out my weight, I would not do calorie deficit).

I’ve tried the rosemary oil from Buds and Blooms but it doesn’t seem to work on my scalp. Right now, I cannot have fun hair styles because of this. Also, my scalp is visible when my hair is wet and styled with CGM products as someone with natural wavy hair.

I’m 21F who’s on a weight loss journey. I went from being 90 kg to 73 kg and I’m close to achieve a normal BMI. For reference, I’m 5’7”.

I’ve been overweight my whole life. Nakakababa ng self confidence kasi inaasar ako ng mga tita ko sa family gatherings at hindi ako ligawin nung JHS. None of my past crushes liked me back. I’ve had a vicious cycle of losing and gaining weight because I couldn’t keep the discipline in the long run. Right now, I’m on my nth attempt to lose weight and it is a success. I reduce watching mukbang videos which make me crave food even more and just eat whatever I want in moderation as long as pasok sa daily calorie intake ko. I also walk 6k-10k steps daily. Looking at my 2025 photos, I look so ugly kasi may baba ako at bilog na bilog yung mukha ko. I realized na ang laki ng bewang ko nung katabi ko yung mga pinsan ko at tita naming payat. Diring diri sa akin yung mga crush ko dati because how I look. Minsan kinukwestyon ko sarili ko kung para sa afam ba ako.

Being overweight makes me hesitant to approach guys so I am still an NBSB. I have a crush on this 6 ft chubby guy with facial hair who’s one of my blockmates this semester because I like his personality (He’s timid, quiet, and nice) but I am still hesitant to start talking daily. Ang ironic lang kasi parehas kaming chubby hahahahaha.

Fast forward, I’ve lost 17 kg. I can’t believe this is the new version of me. My waistline went from being 36 to 28, I lost double chin and realize I actually have an oval face shape because my face length is long. Lumitaw na yung v-shaped jawline ko. I can finally wear regular sized clothes so I don’t have to search for plus size clothes anymore both in online and physical stores. I feel like being slim suits me better kasi I’m flat chested pero mabalakang at malaki pwet unlike many other plus sized girls who have big tits. I decided to lose weight to let go of insecurities and reduce the risk of diabetes and hypertension kasi nasa lahi ng family ko yun.

For context: I went from being 90 kg to 73 kg in one year. I’m 5’7” and close to achieve a normal BMI. I decided to lose weight to finally let go of my insecurities and to feel more confident and healthier.

I have a crush on this 6 ft guy with a dad bod, hairy body, and facial hair. I like his personality (He’s friendly, quiet, and timid). We kinda share the same interests and hobbies. I haven’t initiated a connection between us kasi nahihiya ako because I’m overweight (I’m currently 73 kg and my height is 5’7”). I’ve been working hard to lose weight to feel more confident and healthy inside.

I’m a 21 year old NBSB and have had suitors but they didn’t pursue me because one has commitment issues and the other one is insecure because his ex cheated on him. I can attest to myself that I’m an extrovert because I love socializing with others but I’m hesitant to approach men because of how I look. Natrauma ako sa mga dati kong crush dahil diring diri sila sa akin dahil obese ako noon. Hindi ako ligawin nung JHS kasi I’m tall and fat.

I've been overweight my whole life, reaching a peak of 90 kg (obese for my 5'7" height). I’ve since lost 17 kg and, at 73 kg, I am nearly at a normal BMI. Despite this progress, I’ve never been in a relationship and my past crushes never liked me back

I’m gonna host an event for one of my major subjects for the first time. I can attest to myself that I’m a fluent public speaker and conversationalist but I tend to be shy at some point but at the same time I want to learn a new skill. Any advice? No hate comments please.

To former overweight/obese people, how do you feel after losing weight?

For reference, I’m a female currently weighing 73 kg standing at 5’7”. My heaviest weight was 90 kg (I was obese class I). Right now, I’m closer to achieve a normal BMI.

I’ve been overweight my whole life and nasa lahi namin ang pagiging tabain. Personally, I’ve struggled with self confidence and none of my crushes liked me back. I’ve received insults from my older relatives and one of them compared me to my slim cousin which made my self esteem low. I’ve had several attempts of losing weight but I couldn’t keep up the discipline and go back to old habits which creates a vicious cycle of losing and gaining weight.

After losing 17 kg, I finally feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin, my jawline and cheekbones are becoming more prominent (realizing I have an oval face shape after been convinced that I have a round face), and I can finally wear the clothes I want na hindi mukhang masagwa sa akin.
