She wrote, “TRUST ME I’ve tried everything in my power to lose the weight my health conditions brought me. 5 years of back&amp;forth - going to different people, working out for hrs everyday, spending so much on different diet programs &amp; medical methods but still nothing worked for me 😞”</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2024/6/3/nash-aguas-and-mika-dela-cruz-share-story-of-their-engagement-1813"><strong>READ: Nash Aguas and Mika dela Cruz share story of their engagement<br/></strong></a></div><p>After taking a hiatus from acting, Mika shared in the post how she had to deal with netizens who bashed and body shamed her because of her fluctuating weight. “I had a hard time receiving all the body shaming to tell you the truth. It’s painful seeing my body being picked apart online and at times even in person because I knew that it was trying it’s hardest to get me through all the health struggles and systemic inflammation I had. I started feeling hopeless, hating my appearance to the point of hiding myself. I gave up on my weight loss journey thinking it would never be possible for me anymore..”</p><p>Mika also shared how she was able to get on the right path towards finding the specialist with the right weight loss program for her. “Eventually I gave it to JESUS and I asked him to help me see myself the way that he did. I started inclining my ears to LISTEN to what HE THINKS and SAYS about me. Not what the world keeps on throwing at me. I learned to trust in his perfect timing for everything and right when I wasn’t trying to impose change on myself anymore.. 🙏🏻</p><p>&quot;I met Dr. @roland_angeles_md. A doctor specializing in health-related weight management whom me &amp; my family now call friend. He helped re-train the way that I ate and became the friendliest accountability buddy to me, my ate &amp; my sister-in-law. His diet program will teach you discipline - is sustainable, will not make you feel weak and is gentle while giving true results 🥰 He is so confident in what he does and I remember him telling me what to expect before starting at hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na ito na ang progress namin together.”</p><p>Before ending her post, Mika thanked her followers for being supportive of what she considers the &quot;biggest plot twist&quot; in her life this year. She also added that she would love to help others who are going through the same difficulties she went through.</p><p>“Maraming salamat po sa iyo at sa malasakit mo sa mga taong kagaya ko Doc! Continue being such an instrument of encouragement &amp; support to all of us (your patients) 💪🏻🌱🫂 Definitely one of the biggest PLOT TWISTS of my 2025 💖 We are off to a great start!
