Everyone, regardless of appearance, is equally precious and worthy of affection, in my opinion. But there are others who appear to love looking down on others and bullying them. That’s exactly the type of person Jacqueline Adan recently met. Yet she had a response for her bullies that effectively silenced them. American Jacqueline Adan has struggled with her weight for a long time. She once weighed more than 500 pounds (220 kg).

She did, however, manage to alter her eating habits and begin exercising.

She has already shed almost 350 pounds (150 kg), which is an astounding accomplishment!

When you lose weight rapidly, your skin does not contract to fit your new body size but instead becomes loose. That’s exactly what happened to Jacqueline. Her skin got looser and looser as she dropped weight.

Jacqueline was first concerned about the appearance of the extra skin on her body, particularly her legs. So she chose not to let it hold her back and went about her business as normal.

After dropping so much weight, Jacqueline felt confident enough to wear a swimming suit on vacation for the first time in a long time.

But when Jacqueline walked to the hotel pool, she accidentally bumped into several bullies. A couple at the pool began laughing and pointing at her legs.

“It doesn’t matter what others say,” Jacqueline said in a strong Instagram post about the occasion, which included some close-ups of her legs. That’s OK. “Respect your body.”

In a short period of time, her article earned over 30,000 likes and several positive comments.

I hope Jacqueline’s bullies read it because it will silence them and let them understand how wrong they were. Have a look at this!

“When we were on vacation in Mexico a few weeks ago, it was the first time in a long time that I wore a swimming suit, and even longer since I wore a bathing suit without a cover-up.”

“I was frightened to take my cover-up off and stroll into the pool or walk on the beach. I still felt like the 500-pound girl. Then something occurred.

“As soon as I removed my cover-up, a couple seated by the pool began laughing, pointing at me, and making fun of me.”

“So, what exactly did I do? I took a big breath, grinned, and dove into the water. That was a watershed event for me. I had evolved.

I was no longer the same girl. Sure, I still have a lot of loose skin, I still feel awkward at times, and I still get m*cked.”

“To be honest, that irritated me. But I wasn’t going to allow individuals like them to bother me any longer!

I’m not going to allow what others think of me to prevent me from living my life.”

“They have never met me. They had no idea how hard I worked to drop 350 pounds. They have no idea how I am healing from major surgery.

They had no right to stand there pointing and laughing at me. That’s why I was smiling.”

“It makes no difference what people say or attempt to question or tear down.

What is important is how you respond to it. How you perceive yourself It’s difficult to love yourself just as you are.”

“Some people might not like that. That’s OK. I hope you appreciate yourself. Respect your body. I hope you keep doing what you’re doing and keep smiling!”
