In a lengthy message posted recently on her Facebook page, singer-actress Sharon Cuneta talked about her constant battle with weight and apologized to her fans for “letting them down.”

“I let myself go, I allowed myself to get fat and stay fat,” she said. “I became complacent. I never lost faith in God and in you [my fans], but I ignored the fact that I had lost faith in myself.”

Sharon admitted that her drive had diminished, adding that she has no one to blame but herself for failing to take care of God’s blessings. “I feel that I had lost that hunger to be on top of my industry, maybe because I finally had a peaceful home and a loving family and focused on my children so much,” she said.

She also said that she had a midlife crisis and, at one point, entered a “rebellious” phase. “I hated myself for the way I looked and the time I continued to waste by not focusing and working on bettering my own person,” she said.

Sharon vowed: “I’m going back to basics.” Allan Policarpio
