Ria also said that her medical conditions – having PCOS, having hypothyroidism, and not having a gallbladder – make it difficult for her to lose weight.
“There’s no more pressure but if it happens, it will happen like naturally. Hindi ko lang po pinipilit ngayon,” she said. “I mean I have no gallbladder. I have hypothyroidism. I have PCOs. So parang nagpatong-patong lang. … It’s not like it’s a choice to stay on the heavier side but it is something that I work on for myself not to please anybody.”
