Without pareo after losing 159 kg: "they laughed at my legs, but I didn't care"
Going to the beach is not easy for anyone, we literally undress and leave our defects at the mercy of those who look at us: arms less firm than we would like, breasts no longer as imperious as they used to be, thighs a little bigger than they should. It is in these cases that we realize that warriors are everywhere, it may happen that like the stars below we have a few kilos more than the average, but it is evident that often no armor is needed to fight.
She is Jacqueline Adan, she is 30 years old and 159kg less than what she seems to be a lifetime ago. It was 2012 when she decided she wanted to lose weight and, with the support of her boyfriend, she embarked on this journey that she knows will take her further and further. Of course, she had to lose a lot of weight and now it's the turn of some surgeries to eliminate excess skin, Jacqueline knows that she will always have to commit to exercise and eat healthy but this does not stop being positive: she is proud of the lost pounds and, of course, of those left over.

Embarking on such a challenge is certainly not easy especially because, whether you like it or not, you have to compromise with the looks of those who do not understand, others who only look at what you see and do not see the hours in the gym, the endless showers to recover after an exhausting workout and the loud "no" when the waiter offers a dessert at the end of the meal.
When Jacqueline went to the beach in Mexico she decided to do something she hadn't done for years, at first she was afraid but then her sacrifices prevailed: that's why she decided to post this victory on her Instagram profile.
A few weeks ago we were on vacation in Mexico and it was the first time in years that I didn't wear a sarong over my bathing suit. I didn't like much to undress, even if it was just a walk to the water or a stroll on the beach: I felt the same girl of 220kg but then ... but then it happened. A couple started pointing at me and giggling as soon as I took off the sarong and what did I do? I took a deep breath, smiled, and started walking.
It was really important to me, I've changed, I'm not the same girl as before. Okay, I still have a lot of excess skin, sometimes I still feel insecure and there will always be someone who makes fun of me. true it bothered me quite a bit but I wasn't going to listen to the judgment of those who don't care, I won't let what they think stop me from living my life. They don't know who I am, they don't know how hard I went to lose 159kg "They don't know I had to undergo surgery. They don't have the right to sit down, point at me and laugh at me."
This is where I smiled, no matter what others have in mind and no matter if they try to hold you back or discourage you, what matters is how you react, how you feel about yourself.
Loving yourself as you are is difficult and some may not like it. There is no problem.
I hope that you love yourself, you love your body and that you continue to do what you do while keeping a smile.
When it is said that we are the only obstacle that takes us away from happiness, there is nothing more true. There will always be challenges that we will believe to be bigger than us, mountains that are too high and distances too long: if they are faced with a smile, and only listening to the opinion of those who truly carry us in their hearts, there is no impossible battle.
