Paolo of Ben&Ben proves stretch marks and loose skin are normal

Filipino celebrities surely have a hard time opening up about their personal lives because of all the marites ready to comment. But that doesn’t stop them from sharing their wins and inspiring other people. Recently, Ben&Ben member Paolo Benjamin Guico showed off his stretch marks on social media as an ode to his weight loss journey.

The 28-year-old musician posted side-by-side photos, one flexing his more muscular physique and another one showing him with more weight years ago. He describes them as a representation of the years of “hard work and sacrifice.” He wrote, ‘I also celebrate my stretch marks. Cause they’re awesome. I also celebrate my past self, because he’s awesome too.’

Paolo’s message to people who are on their own path of growth is for them to do it out of self-love and do it for the people important to them. He added, ‘Never do it just to please others, because it will never be enough. You are enough.’

Many of Ben&Ben’s fans a.k.a. Linawags filled the comment sections showing support for the band member who proudly hit his goal weight. But others pointed out the excess skin on his abdominal area. Apart from the stretch marks, this extra layer of skin is actually common for people who shed a couple of pounds.

According to Healthline, loose skin can occur when the weight is lost through diet and exercise in a short amount of time. A person’s skin elasticity goes back into place faster when practicing a more gradual weight loss routine. While some people asked for tips on how Paolo achieved his current figure, he promised to reveal it in the coming weeks.

For now, those who are currently in the process of achieving their own dream body can hold on to Paolo’s words, ‘You have so much to offer to the world. I know you’re working hard. You got this. You’re not alone. I’m rooting for you. I’m with you.’
