La criticaron por tener unas piernas “asquerosas”, ahora muchas personas la admiran

Algunas personas pueden llegar a ser realmente crueles.

En las escuelas es muy común encontrarse con niños que sufren diferentes tipos de abuso. Jacqueline Adan, desde muy pequeña conoció lo que es el bullying, aunque se esforzaba por ser feliz, no lo lograba.

Jacqueline con mucho esfuerzo y perseverancia logró perder más de 150 kilos. Cuando una persona baja de peso abruptamente suele tener consecuencias, ya que la piel no se encoge a la misma velocidad que el cuerpo cambia, más bien queda estirada. Aunque esta chica logró bajar de peso, la gente se seguía burlando de ella por la forma en que quedaron sus piernas.

Sometimes it's hard to look back at pictures of myself.point 320 |

It's hard to imagine weighing over 500 pounds.point 43 | But that's me.point 59 | Jacqueline.point 70 | A girl who did in fact weigh over 500 pounds.point 106 | Who had an unhealthy relationship with food.point 144 | Who struggled to get out of the hole I dug for myself.point 187 | I was good at making excuses and pushing my problems aside.point 236 |

I laughed it off when I was made fun of and acted like it did not bother me.point 59 | But deep down inside, I was hurt.point 86 | I was scared.point 97 | I wanted to live my life again without my weight holding me back.point 150 | I wanted to love myself again.point 175 | I was the only one who was in control of my actions and my decisions.point 230 |

It was up to me.point 12 | As of today I can proudly say I have lost over 300 pounds.point 58 | No I did not have weight loss surgery.point 89 | No I do not have any magic pills or secret tricks to how I lost the weight.point 148 | I decided enough was enough and I took control back.point 191 | I changed my diet and began exercising.point 224 |

Change did not come easy and it did not happen overnight! But change is possible.point 67 | You have to be the one to decide you are ready.point 104 | You have to work hard and never give up.point 136 | You can do it!

Jacqueline estaba muy preocupada por el aspecto de sus piernas. No imaginó que quedarían de esa manera. Sin embargo, ella decidió salir adelante y hacer caso omiso de los comentarios mal intencionados.

I love this picture!! And if this doesn't scream holiday cheer then I don't know what does!  But if we are  being honest I almost didn't want to post this.point 414 |

So when I got these pajamas my first thought was  automatically like "there is no way I was going to post a picture in these shorts" no matter how much I loved them! I told myself they would be fine to sleep in, but knew deep down how “bad” they would look on me.point 225 |

I had it programmed into my brain that I can't wear shorts.point 52 | When I got home they fit perfectly but that feeling of thinking how “bad” they must look kicked in right away.point 146 | Kevin thought they looked cute.point 173 | Of course I did not believe him.point 199 | So I decided to have him take my picture in them to prove to myself how “bad” they really did look.point 282 |

But instead, after I saw the picture, it captured something completely different.point 70 | I did not see how bad my legs looked.point 99 | When I first looked at this picture the first thing I saw was pure holiday joy! I saw myself happy and that made me smile.point 197 | It was then followed by my second reaction which was OMG my legs…but you know what? That's ok.point 284 |

It's ok to feel insecure.point 25 | We are human.point 36 | So why would I let a little insecurity like the skin on my legs stop me from sharing a picture that just shows…joy! I know what posting this picture might bring.point 173 | Comments asking why my legs are so big, why is my top half so small and bottom half so large and my personal favorite, people telling me I have lipodema.point 297 |

The bottom line? So what if I have big legs, or even if I did have lipodema.point 60 | That is not the point.point 78 | Our job is to love others, and love ourselves! We should not look at a picture of others, or ourselves and see everything that is wrong with it.point 195 | So I hope when you look at this pic you will see past all of my imperfections, look past my legs, and just see me, a girl who worked damn hard to get here and worked even harder to finally be happy! I am sending joy and happiness to all of you and hope you have the courage to embrace all of your insecurities too and just decide to be happy! This picture is just that… a girl who is happy…FINALLY!!!point 519 | 1

Llegó un momento en que Jacqueline estaba muy conforme con su peso, así que decidió usar un traje de baño durante unas vacaciones. Ella estaba completamente feliz, aunque las burlas no se hicieron esperar. Una pareja señaló sus piernas y constantemente se reían de ellas.

When we were on vacation in Mexico a few weeks ago, it was the first time I had worn a bathing suit in a long time, and it had been even longer since I wore a bathing suit without a cover up.point 420 |

I was nervous to take my cover up off and to walk into the pool or walk on the beach.point 66 | I still felt like that same 500 pound girl…then it happened.point 122 | A couple sitting by the pool started laughing and pointing at me and making fun of me as soon as I took my cover up off.point 217 |

So what did I do? I took a deep breath, smiled and walked into the pool.point 57 | That was a huge moment for me.point 81 | I had changed.point 93 | I was not the same girl anymore.point 119 | Yes I still have a lot of loose skin, I may still feel insecure at times, and yes I may still get made fun of.point 205 |

To be honest, yes it bothered me.point 27 | But I was not going to let people like that affect me anymore! I am not going to let what other people think of me stop me from living my life.point 140 | They do not know me.point 156 | They do not know how I have worked my ass off to lose 350 pounds.point 207 |

They do not know how I am recovering from major surgeries.point 48 | They have no right to sit and point and laugh at me.point 89 | That's why I smiled.point 110 | It does not matter what others say or if they try to doubt you or try to bring you down.point 179 | What matters is how you react to it.point 208 |

How you feel about yourself.point 24 | Loving yourself just the way you are is hard.point 61 | Others might not like that.point 84 | That's ok.point 97 | I hope you love yourself.point 118 | Love your body.point 131 | I hope you keep doing you and just keep smiling! .point 171 | .point 172 | .point 173 | .point 174 | .point 175 | #jacquelineadan #jacquelinesjourney #effyourbeautystandards #selfloveclub #selflove #lovemybody #lovemyshape #loveyourself #teamself #extremeweightloss #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #beforeandafter #beforeandafterweightloss #wlstories #onaquest #bodybuildingcom #bodypositive #bodyconfidence #bodyposi #transformationfitnation #motivationmonday #mondaymotivation #fitfam #fitspo #bodytransformation #igtransformations #transformationjourneypoint 635 | 1

Jacqueline tomó aire y siguió su camino. Ella ha pasado por momentos muy difíciles, ya que muchas personas se han burlado de ella, sin importarles todo el trabajo físico y psicológico por el que ha tenido que atravesar. Estas fueron sus palabras:

“Cuando estuvimos de vacaciones en México hace unas semanas, fue la primera vez que me atreví a usar un traje de baño en mucho tiempo y había pasado mucho más tiempo desde la última vez que usé un traje de baño sin un pareo.point 191 | Esta vez tenía muchos nervios de quitarme el pareo y entrar a la piscina o caminar por la playa.point 270 |

Me sentía como esa chica de 220 kilos y entonces… pasó.point 49 | Una pareja sentada al borde de la piscina empezó a reírse y a burlarse de mí apenas me quité el pareo.point 135 | Así que ¿qué hice yo? Respiré profundamente, sonreí y metí a la piscina.point 201 |

Ese fue un gran momento para mí.point 27 | Había cambiado.point 42 | Ya no era la misma chica.point 62 | Sí, todavía tengo mucha piel flácida, puede que aún me sienta insegura a veces y sí, puede que aún se burlen de mí.point 162 | Para ser sincera, sí me molestó, pero ya no iba a dejar que personas así me afectasen nunca más.point 244 |

Ellos no me conocen.point 17 | Ellos no saben cuánto me he esforzado para perder más de 158 kilos.point 74 | No saben cómo me estoy recuperando de cirugías complejas.point 125 | No tienen derecho a sentarse, señalarme y reírse de mí.point 174 | Por eso sonreí.point 188 | No importa lo que otros digan o si tratan de dudar de ti o de hacerte decaer.point 249 |

Lo que importa es cómo reacciones a eso, cómo te sientas contigo misma.point 61 | Amarte a ti misma tal como eres es difícil.point 97 | A otros podría no gustarles eso.point 125 | Está bien.point 135 | Pero yo espero que te quieras, que ames tu cuerpo.point 176 | Espero que sigas construyéndote y sigas sonriendo.point 221 |

Jacqueline cuenta con muchos seguidores en sus redes sociales, la mayoría aplaudió sus palabras. Ella se puso feliz por recibir tantos comentarios positivos y muestras de cariño.

Today marks 12 weeks since surgery number one on my legs!!! Just posted a whole YouTube video on how my recovery is going and how I am doing now If you want to watch! Link in bio I cannot believe it has been this long already! This recovery has been brutal to say the least and there were many times where I had to dig down deep and tell myself that this will get better.point 725 |

About 20 pounds was removed from my legs and the actual surgery was a very big procedure.point 73 | Now, 12 weeks later I am starting to feel like myself again.point 122 | 12 weeks ago it felt like I was never going to walk again, but here I am, stronger than ever and definitely not giving up anytime soon! I still have a long recovery ahead, and my check up with my surgeon on Friday did not go as I had hoped.point 313 |

  I am not going to be discouraged or let this get me down.point 49 | I am just going to take it one day at a time and keep moving forward! My body has been through a lot and right now it just needs love more than ever.point 166 | So that is what I am going to do! If you want to hear more about how my recovery is going and how I am doing 12 weeks post op, head over to my YouTube channel where I just posted a new video filling you guys in on everything! This week was hard for me, and I will talk about more of why I have felt “off” in this video too.point 423 |

La experiencia de sus vacaciones fue muy dura, pero de alguna manera le ayudó para darse cuenta que tiene que preocuparse por cosas más importantes y que la opinión de la gente está de más.

Starting can be the hardest part, trust me, I know.point 472 |

Day 1 at the gym was HARD! It was not only physically challenging but mentally challenging as well.point 82 | I felt embarrassed, angry, and wanted to quit 5 minutes in.point 131 | It was hard, and I did not feel like I could do it.point 170 | I felt defeated.point 184 | But I never gave up.point 200 | Here I am, now 350 pounds lighter but still the same girl, laying in the exact same spot at the gym, and now, more determined than ever to continue to be better, stronger, healthier and to continue living my life- a life I almost lost due to my weight many years ago.point 416 |

Sometimes we don’t want to try something because we are afraid to fail.point 61 | We doubt ourselves before we even try and think, it’s is better not to even try that way we do not fail.point 146 | But what I say is, how will you ever know what you are capable of if you never try! That same girl who was laying on that grass, out of breathe, defeated, all red in the face and ready to quit…what would have happened if she never stood back up and kept fighting? That is something I never want to think about! If you keep trying, and if you keep standing back up, and trying your best, then you can never really fail.point 488 |

I was able to stand back up and keep fighting…and you know what? No matter what you are going through I know that you can stand back up and keep fighting too! .point 134 | .point 135 | .point 136 | .point 137 | ??????? #transformation #transformationtuesday #transformationjourney #weightlossmotivation #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #losingweight #fattofit #igweightloss #trainandtransform #obesetobeast #workforchange #effyourbeautystandards #extremeweightloss #bodypositive #selflove #plussize #mysf #sanfranciscoblogger #sanfrancisco #bodybuildingcom #onaquest #shapesquad #fitspo #fitspiration #fitnessblogger #youtubepoint 539 | 1
