Desde que começou sua jornada contra a obesidade mórbida, Jacqueline Adan já foi alvo de inúmeros episódios de gordofobia. Nesta semana, exibindo mais de 130 kg a menos que no início de seu diário no YouTube, ela relatou mais um destes momentos constrangedores.
Ao invés de se magoar e calar, Jacqueline resolveu não só expor o episódio nas redes sociais, como contar qual é a sua atitude diante de olhares preconceituosos.

It happened again. Last year on vacation, I was so nervous to wear a bathing suit and I was so nervous about how my body would look to other people. I was even pointed at and laughed at when I went to get into the pool. For a moment I froze, in complete embarrassment, before I decided to move on and not care. Guess what? It happened again. It happened this year while I was on vacation again. Yes, I was walking on the beach and again I was pointed at and laughed and made fun of. As I was getting laughed at and pointed at something came over me. I was not embarrassed, I did not feel like I had to justify myself and I did not freeze or want to cry. I actually felt free! This time...I just did not care! I tried to go over every change inside my head as to why this year I just did not care. Then it finally hit me. I do not depend on the approval of others, and I do not care what others may or may not think about my body. I am so focused on living my best life, and I have been working so hard on loving me exactly how I am...loose skin and all- that I do not have time to worry about what others may think or say. I can finally say that I am at a place where I still have insecurities and a lot of loose skin, and yes mentally I still struggle at times, but I can finally say that my self love journey has been the focus of this past year, and being at this place in my life where I can walk around in a bathing suit and genuinely feel confident, happy and not care what others may think or say, that is true transformation. That is true growth. So I am sharing this picture of me in a bathing suit for all of you. This is me. Right now. This is my body. This is what hard work, sweat, blood, tears, smiles, happiness, pain, love, and hard work look like. This is what it looks like to finally accept my body for what it is. This is me. And I am not making anymore excuses as to why I look the way I do...this is just me. Loose skin, cellulite, stretch marks and all. This is me. And I can finally say, I love me! Head over to my YouTube channel to check out my full video where I share the exact moment I was made fun of and how it made me feel! YouTube.com/jacquelinesjourney

18 de Set, 2018 às 5:50 PDT "Aconteceu de novo. Ano passado, nas minhas férias, estava nervosa por usar um maiô e como meu corpo ia ser visto pelas outras pessoas. Apontaram para mim e riram quando eu entrava na piscina. Por um momento eu congelei, em completo constrangimento", relembra.
Neste ano, mais uma vez a youtuber foi alvo de risadas, piadas e comentários por seu corpo, ainda fora dos padrões de magreza. Desta vez, porém, ela simplesmente ignorou as críticas. "Não senti que devo me justificar, não congelei ou quis chorar. Me senti livre", conta.
#transformationtuesday When I started my #weightlossjourney I was super inspired and motivated. But I also had several moments during my journey where I wanted to give up. I thought it would be easier to just give up. My #motivation seemed to be gone and all I could focus on was how far I still had to go. I felt helpless. If I had many moments like this, than what helped me to keep going and what helped keep me motivated to carry on to lose over 350 pounds? #Motivation is a huge factor in success, but what happens when that motivation goes away. The thing with motivation is that sometimes it is there, and sometimes it is not. So what do we do when we don?t have it? ??I found that it is all about creating #healthyhabits that will last you a lifetime. Becoming disciplined in what you do and with your choices and actions. It is figuring out your ?why? and never giving up on that, even when it gets hard. It is about remembering the choice is yours and you have to choice to choose between what you want right now, and what you want most! Since I get asked all of the time about how to stay motivated, I decided to make a blog post dedicated to motivation. What I was feeling when I began my journey, what helped me stay motivated to lose 350 pounds and what is helping me stay motivated now! You can check out my blog at Jacquelineadan.com Direct link in my bio Comment down below one of your ?whys? and if you don?t know what I am talking about I also go over my ?whys? and how you can find yours on my blog too remember, you are the one in control of your choices and decisions and the power to change lies within all of us!! We just have to make sure to #nevergiveup, always believe in ourselves and take it one day at a time! . . . #fitnessjourney #whatsyourwhy #selflove #selflovejourney #extremeweightloss
