A Woman Was Shamed for Loose Skin but She Gave a Powerful Response to Haters and Showed What She Went Through

After a tremendous weight loss, Jacqueline Adan had around 30 pounds of excess skin. It took a toll on her both mentally and physically. However, at some point, she accepted herself and even started going to the beach. Her life continues to undergo significant positive changes.

She started facing negative comments when she realized she had become a different person.

Jacqueline has embraced her newfound body with confidence, and a significant moment in her journey occurred during a trip to Mexico. For the first time in years, she wore a bathing suit without the security of a cover-up. She admitted to feeling nervous about revealing herself by the pool or on the beach, as she still felt like the same person as before.

During this moment, however, when people around her began to make insensitive comments about her loose skin, a side effect of her remarkable weight loss, Jacqueline faced a choice. She could allow these comments to dampen her spirits, or she could persevere, as she had been doing throughout her journey.

“So what did I do? I took a deep breath, smiled and walked into the pool. That was a huge moment for me. I had changed. I was not the same girl anymore.”

She chose to smile.

Jacqueline acknowledges that on some days, she may still grapple with insecurity and be affected by negative comments, but this is entirely natural. Nevertheless, she refuses to allow the opinions of others to hinder her from living her life to the fullest, “They do not know me. They do not know how I have worked.”

In the public eye, it is essential to recognize that people rarely comprehend the intricacies of our personal journeys. We alone hold the true understanding of how our path has unfolded and how we have grown from it.

Jacqueline beautifully concludes her post with a powerful message: “They have no right to sit and point and laugh at me. That’s why I smiled. It does not matter what others say or if they try to doubt you or try to bring you down. What matters is how you react to it. How you feel about yourself.”

She has undergone four surgeries.

Jacqueline reflected on her journey, describing the most rewarding aspect as finding genuine happiness and transforming her self-relationship. She is learning to love and care for herself, discovering her true identity and aspirations.

Jacqueline’s fiancé established a page to raise funds for her ongoing skin removal surgeries, which insurance does not cover. To date, she has undergone four surgeries and anticipates the need for at least two or three more.

Her goal was to complete these surgeries and continue sharing her journey with others, inspiring empowerment along the way. And she did it.

Jaqueline is still on the way of transformation and searching for the best for her.

Jacqueline continues to embrace her transformations and actively pursues a healthy and joyful life, all while rejecting societal beauty standards. Her decisions revolve around what is best for her well-being, and she steadfastly disregards body shaming and negative remarks. She remains committed to sharing her journey on her Instagram blog, promoting positivity and self-acceptance.

Jacqueline admitted that she can’t imagine her life without sports now. She continues to maintain a healthy lifestyle, exercising regularly and eating right. She has even taken on the role of conducting personal training sessions.

Jacqueline and her fiancé Kevin have been together for over 10 years, they got engaged back in 2013. Now, Jacqueline dreams of undergoing the remaining surgeries and starting to plan her dream Disney-themed wedding.
