KC Concepcion fully embraces her curvaceous body type and proudly announced that she is “a FILIPINA with LATINA CURVES.”
The actress explained how she overcame body-shaming and recalibrated her perception of herself on her Instagram post today, Aug. 5.
“I used to get body-shamed when I went on my 3-year hiatus for not having that Asian, [stick-thin] body (for an Asian like me), and many women like me get affected by this mentally, emotionally and physically,” she said.
The COVID-19 crisis made Concepcion realize that life should be enjoyed and celebrated. The actress showed some photos where she looked stunning while sporting a long light-hued pencil skirt which accentuated her curvy hips, and a matching bralette top.
“[Why] would I choose to develop an eating disorder over losing all the extra weight healthily?” Concepcion asked.
