This is the reason why Shaina Magdayao stopped doing ASAP eight years ago.
SHAINA MAGDAYAO – In 2014, Kapamilya actress Shaina Magdayao left ASAP and this was the reason why she had to do it.
The last time people saw actress Shaina Magdayao performing at the ASAP stage was in 2014 and after that, she never came until this month. After 8 years, she returned to performing and she felt “renewed” about it.
Dancing again is symbolic for her because of what she went through in 2014 that made her stop doing ASAP. According to her, one major factor that made her quit ASAP was because of the symptoms of hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid she was suffering back then.
Doing ASAP was her “living” the dream moment back then. It was her reality and it became a huge part of her life that giving it up also left a huge part.
She was diagnosed with hypothyroidism but did not make anything to address the symptoms until they became more obvious. Among the signs and symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, joint and muscle pain, and slowed heart rate.
The actress shared that she took her condition lightly and she was gaining weight.
She said, “I was gaining weight uncontrollably. I did not handle it well. At a very young age, unusual ‘yun. I’ve been puyat since I was 6 years old. I was not taking care of my body. I was not working out. I was not living a fit lifestyle. May gimik pa ‘yun on the side! May taping ka pa! Ta’s may movie pa! Youth, ‘di ba? Hanggang sa siningil ako ng katawan ko.”
The weight gain affected her confidence in dancing and it also affected her mental health.
When she quit performing, she focused on acting, a job that requires less physical involvement.
Within eight years, she excelled in acting and also focused on practicing a healthier lifestyle. It took her years of discipline and consistency to finally tame it. Doing a pescatarian diet helped her and she is now at her most fit.
In a report from ABS-CBN, she shared that she is now an ASAP mainstay again and she is more confident in her body.
