Menopause and My Health

Menopause and My Healthy Journey

            Are you someone that has been either through menopause naturally or put into menopause by surgery? Are you struggling to keep weight off or watching the weight go up? This was me and it all started for me about 10 years ago but that was just from a partial hysterectomy but then Oct 31, 2017 due to a 5cm x 5cm cyst on my left ovary I had to get the tubes and ovaries out. This was when the doctor stated that I would be in full Menopause and will see my weight plummet.

            After surgery the doctor would not let me have Hormones or Estrogen, this is when my weight started to climb more. I decided that I would find a product out there that would work because I used to be where I am today but dropped 50 pounds and kept off during pregnancy and for over 10 years. I did not like where I was nor did I feel good about myself. I suffered from depression because when I looked in the mirror, I was FAT, OLD, HURT (from pain throughout my body), and my sex drive gone.

            I did not feel sexy the least bit. I lost my sex drive and that is huge for me. I look back at photos of my skinny self and I longed to be there again but knew that was not going to be me. I was not going to buy clothes to fit me. That would be admitting that I was not going to lose the weight and accepting where I am at in my size. Heck NO!

            I decided to try what I was doing the first time I lost weight, that did not work. I began researching several different diet and weight loss plans to hear them constantly bring up boosting your Hormones and Metabolism. Well the boost of metabolism would be great but boosting the hormones when you don’t have or take them would be a problem. They never say anything about people that do not have them or in menopause.

            I began thinking what about me? How will I ever find something natural and help me with my weight loss journey? I then found the best product out there and started my journey on the 8th of November 2018. I researched and asked questions with many testimonials and X marked the journey. I watched and continued research for 11 months. I then decided this would work after lots of lady’s testimonials and speaking with several that were just like me. In full menopause without taking hormones and estrogen. I was excited for my new journey and during the holidays too.

            I have seen several inches come off and dropped 15 pounds to this day and it is only been a little over 2 months. In one month on December 15^, 2018, I had to go to my grandson’s birthday party and did not have jeans to wear. My 13-year-old gave me jeans that he could no longer fit into and well I wore them to the party. THEY FIT! My husband and son both were floored that I can actual fit them. I was happy. Then my mother in law asked me what I was doing because she seen the difference. Wow! Really, they see it? I have never been so happy, with energy that I gave up my coffee in a long time.

            My sex drive is back, and I walk 42 miles per week in my house (yes, my house because it is cold here in MI). I feel like I am again a new person and back in my 20’s again. My clothes are falling off me too. Who is complaining? Certainly not me. I also decided to do the business side to help those that are like me. I felt this is a need since there is nothing out there that help a lady in menopause. X has been the best thing in my life and gave me back my life.

I have posted the before and after photo’s so you too can see that it does help and if you would like more information about the products please comment and I will be in contact with you. I want to help anyone with the journey and be your personal coach, cheerleader and more. The photos of before and after are of November 8^, 2018 and January 4, 2019. I will update with a new photo later today or tomorrow.

Mika Marie's Adoption Journey

Mika Marie White’s Adoption Journey

       

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in someone else’s shoes? Or What it is like to be adopted? Well I am here to tell you that I lived that life due to being adopted. You don’t know the reason why your biological parents didn’t want you or gave you up. You long to understand and during the process you put images in your mind what they look like, are they rich or poor, do you have siblings, and most of all who you look and act like?

I was adopted from the time I was born in Tacoma, WA, but stayed in a foster home for 3 weeks while waiting for your biological mom to sign the papers, file with the courts, and then time for my parents to come pick me up from Walla Walla, WA. My mom was only 18 when she had me and going to marry my dad and then we would be a family. She was 7 months pregnant when he left her. He was in the Army. My adoptive parents came and picked me up in a snow storm in January. From that day on I was Tina Jane Davidson.

I was born Mika Marie White (just found that out in 2015 when I got me non – Identifying information and Birth Certificate) on December 17, 1971 at 4:45 am. When I went home with my parents, I heard I was colicky.  I always knew I was adopted from the time I was little. I was told I was part Japanese and my mom wanted me to go to someone that had the Asian culture, so I could learn my heritage. Oh, how I was so proud of that. I was told from day one that I was part Japanese and that I was beautiful. I grew up with a sister and uncle that were from Seoul Korea.

I had a good life and I was raised as a Baptist and know my parents loved me. But there was always that thought in my mind “Who Am I”? My mom would tell me stories of my parents based on what the social worker said, but you never know are they real? You always want to know do I have sisters or brothers? Are they like me or am I just different? Is my mom an actress or is my dad? When people walk by you wonder is that my mom or dad? That is the hard part, you are constantly looking for someone you think could be that one person that looks like you. This is in the mall, grocery store, when you go on vacation and are close to where you came from. You are constantly wanting to know who you are.

I would ask my mom questions about my adoption, but let’s face it don’t all adopted kids? We want to know the answers to our questions. I feel horrible for those adopted and know they seem different, but the parents never let them know. For you my heart breaks, because the answers come late or not at all. That is the time it hurts when it comes out to late.  My mom would tell me she thinks my name was “Miko”, but she was not sure. Then she would tell me that my dad liked the ladies and was in the Army. My mom was told my dad was a red head too.  I would ask her what my biological Mother’s name was and she thought it was “Mary”, so I always knew my biological Mother’s name. The reason I was always asking is because I wanted to see what had changed information wise and what had not. I also thought it was fishy because my parents and Biological mom's social worker was the same. The fishing partner of my Grandpa Davidson was the judge who signed my adoption papers. 

I was proud that I was adopted and part Japanese. I would let people know that I was adopted and part Japanese. I would get no way or where you don't look like it. I would always joke that it was in my "Big Toe" and everyone would laugh. I was a talker all my life and would talk to anyone that would talk to me. At age 3 I would go door to door knocking on the door and try selling people books that had bible verses in them. Hahaha! I remember that well. They would always stand there and talk to me. They never refused to take anything from me. I also loved selling my sisters Bluebird Cookies. We would have so many people buying from me because I was too cute to say no too (per what I was told).
