During the pandemic, the daughter of Meisya Siregar and Bebi Romeo experienced a quite drastic weight gain. This was also felt by the woman born on April 13, 1979.

It all started from indulging in high-calorie foods as a way to entertain oneself during the pandemic, the impact of which was only felt after months. Of course, this weight gain also raises concerns about the health risks for the little one.

"@bebi_romeo and I were panicked during this pandemic, constantly eating high-calorie foods with the excuse of 'entertainment' for ourselves and the kids during the pandemic. But our main concern as parents was that we were worried Loui would go overboard and end up getting sick, which is not good for his health," said Meisya Siregar.

"But it turns out that making him want to go on a diet (which means regulating his eating habits) at the age of 10 is really difficult! It's not uncommon for him to feel sad and cry when weighing himself, because he wants to lose weight but can't control his emotional hunger," she added.

2. Message for Beloved Child

Furthermore, Meisya Siregar also conveyed her message to Loui not to give up easily in undergoing a diet. Of course, this is aimed at making the beloved child become a better version of himself.

Dear Loui... It's difficult for Mom to set goals, commit, but at least we have tried hard. Don't easily give up, and Mom and Dad are happy that you are very active, dancing, cycling, swimming, but maybe it's not enough to burn the sweet calories and carbs that Loui consumes... So, remember that #selflove means you can create the best version of yourself, such as being healthier, well-groomed, and having a better attitude. Slowly, we can definitely get through this together, okay???" she concluded.

3. Always Take Care of Your Health
