It is sad that many people don’t think about other people’s feelings when they tease them, especially about their weight and appearance.
Sarie Santiago had that experience as she was called a whale, a pig, a ‘dumbo’, and many others. At 191 lbs, she was big and rather fat. She gamely admitted that she had a fault on this somehow as she loved food and had the motto, “Food is life.”

But one day she got tired of all the hurtful names she was called – and decided to do something about her weight. Now, losing weight is something that is difficult to do. Many people tried to lose weight yet weren’t able to do it because they eventually lose their motivation or just find it too hard to do workouts and diets.

Determined to change her image, literally and figuratively, Sarie found the motivation to do it – and she made sure to follow through her self-imposed diet and workout regime. This would help her lose 64lbs, going from 191lbs to 127lbs! Isn’t that impressive?

A lot of people are asking, how did she do it?

Every morning upon waking up, Sarie would immediately drink warm water. Then, she would eat 1 boiled egg and a banana (saba) before heading off to the gym to work out for 2-4 hours. After the intense gym routine, she would walk home – and that’s about 45 minutes.

At lunch, she chooses fish and vegetables. She reveals that she doesn’t eat rice at all and has done this for 8 months. Many netizens said it was great that she had the willpower to do that. When she craves some carbs, she just eats SkyFlakes and peanuts. She also drinks plenty of water.

At night, she makes sure to eat kamote before 8PM.
