Unlearning with Ida Paras: Love Your Body, Ignore Your Judgy Titas

Published: Feb. 5, 2021, midnight

As a country, we are obsessed with how our bodies and other people's bodies look. "Hello's" have been replaced with "tumaba ka," and no one talks about how rude it is.
\n
\nWe dread going to family reunions or meeting people we haven't seen in a long time. At the back of our minds, we worry that they'll comment on your weight either to your face or behind your back.
\n
\nTogether with Ida Paras, we discuss body shaming in the Philippines and how that may have affected our mentality about body image and weight growing up.
\n
\nWe also talk about the obsession people have with fitness and the journeys we've had to loving our bodies.

Ida Paras has been in the fitness industry for more than 6 years, and she's coached hundreds of women into loving their bodies through sustainable fitness. She's also the brains behind The Movement Studio, which offers group classes with the perfect blend of cardio and strength.
