linda christmas photo
I stepped out of our Christmas family photo because I couldn't stand seeing my belly in it anymore…
…and why, on day 87, my husband – a hormone specialist – asked who put me on hormones.
My name is Linda. I'm 56. For thirty-one years we've taken the same photo every Christmas Eve – same spot, same tree corner, same "everybody squeeze in." Then menopause changed my body, and I started taking the picture instead of being in it. These are the 5 things I wish someone had told me sooner.
It was never my willpower
I ate less. I walked every day. I cut the wine. My arms got thinner, my face got thinner – and the middle stayed exactly where it was.
When everything shrinks except the belly, it isn't a discipline problem.
But I didn't know that. So every Christmas Eve I said "let me take it this year" – and three photos went up on our hallway wall without me in them.
My husband is a hormone specialist. He knew the cause – cortisol
He sat me down and explained it. In menopause, cortisol, the stress hormone, tends to stay high – the same reason I was lying wide awake at 3am.
And cortisol is what keeps fat stored around the middle. "That's why every diet works everywhere except the stomach," he said. Then the part I didn't want to hear: "There's nothing I can prescribe for cortisol."
$3,790 of pills, apps and plans couldn't touch it
The supplements. The diet app. Intermittent fasting. Every one was one more thing to swallow, count or remember – and none of them did anything about the stress behind the belly.
I didn't need another thing to take. I needed something that worked on the cause, without me having to do anything at all.
How the ring works: two separate ways, day and night
No pills. No diet. Nothing to remember.
I found it in a menopause group at 3am, rolled my eyes – "just another Facebook ad" – and ordered the gold one anyway. I didn't even tell my husband.
Day 87: "Who put you on hormones?"
Week one: nothing. Week two: nothing. In week three I slept straight through – no 3am. A few weeks later my jeans were still buttoned at dinner. On day 87 my husband looked at me across the kitchen and asked who put me on hormones. Nobody had.
This Christmas Eve I'm wearing the red dress again – and standing in the middle. It's not a miracle and it took weeks. And if it hadn't helped, I had 90 days to send it back: every Magneva ring comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee.
