“Hanggang ngayon, 10 years after ko mag-quit, nate-tempt pa rin ako mag-yosi. Pero di ko ginagawa...kahit gaano ko ka-gusto,” he wrote.
He admitted that there are still days when he would find himself working out even if he feels unmotivated to do so. For him, these are just some of the sacrifices he has to make to have a healthier life.
“Binawasan ko din ang alak, sugary drinks at mga unhealthy na pagkain, and started eating healthy. Eto yung mga sacrifices na [kailangan] ko gawin para maging mas healthy, lalo na't magfi-50 na ko sa Feb...hindi lang para sa sarili, kundi para sa mga mahal ko sa buhay,” he added.
Chito expressed that his discipline goes beyond himself but rather for his loved ones whom he doesn’t want to leave too soon just because of his unhealthy habits in the past. Apart from changing his physical routine, he revealed that he is also trying to change his phone habits–– limiting his screen time as much as possible.

“Ayokong iwan ng maaga ang pamilya ko dahil sa sarili kong kagagawan...dahil sa kawalan ko ng disiplina. Kung nakaya ko, I'm sure kaya mo din,” he maintained.
The singer is hopeful that his followers and the netizens reading his post could do the same for themselves. He shared how changing the mindset is the first step in going towards a healthier lifestyle.
“Di mo pwedeng unahin ang excuses. Dapat tanggapin mo muna na mas malakas at mas matibay ka kesa sa mga temptations ng mga bisyo mo. Di talaga madali, pero kaya mo yan kung gusto mo talaga,” he expressed.
“Kaya yan,” he ended.
