A blogueira Jacqueline Adan, de 30 anos, deu uma aula de autoestima ao usar um traje de banho pela primeira vez após o esforço para perder 158 kg. Apesar dos olhares e comentários sobre seu excesso de pele, ela decidiu "respirar fundo e sorrir".

Em um post no Instagram, Jacqueline conta que estava de férias no México e muito nervosa por exibir o corpo pela primeira vez em algum tempo. "Eu ainda me sentia como aquela garota de quase 230 quilos, então isso aconteceu: um casal sentado perto da piscina começou a rir e apontar para mim, se divertindo às minhas custas", relata ela. "Então o que eu fiz? Respirei fundo, sorri e caminhei para a piscina".

Ela continua dizendo que viveu algo importante naquele instante, porque percebeu que havia mudado: "Foi um grande momento para mim. Eu havia mudado. Eu não era a mesma garota de antes. Sim, eu continuo tendo muita pele solta, ainda me sinto insegura às vezes e continuo alvo de brincadeiras maldosas. Para ser honesta, isso ainda me machuca. Mas eu não iria deixar as pessoas me afetaram mais. Não vou deixar que o que os outros pensam de mim me impeça de viver minha vida. Eles não me conhecem. Não sabem o quanto precisei ralar para perder esses 158 quilos. Não sabem que estou me recuperando de grande cirurgias. Eles não têm direito de apontar e rir de mim. É por isso que eu sorrio".

Por fim, ela dá um conselho para seus mais de 46 mil seguidores: "Não importa o que os outros digam, se duvidam de você ou tentam te colocar para baixo. O que importa é como você reage a isso, como se sente sobre si mesmo. É difícil simplesmente amar a si mesmo do jeito é. Os outros podem não gostar. Está tudo bem. Eu espero que você se ame - ame seu corpo. Eu espero que você siga em frente e continue sorrindo".

Até agora, a publicação teve mais de 27 mil curtidas e muitas mensagens de apoio à mulher.

Hi! My name is Jacqueline! When I was at my heaviest I was over 500 pounds. It was hard to do anything and I definitely was not living the life I wanted. I was unhappy, felt stuck and did not love myself. Finally I decided enough was enough and I took control back of my life. As of today I have lost over 300 pounds. I am also in the process of having excess skin removal surgery. My journey was far from easy. It was filled with many ups and downs. It took hard work, sacrifice and never giving up, even if it was challenging. It took blood, lots of sweat and many tears. But I would not have changed a thing. It taught me to fight. It taught me to never give up. And most importantly it taught me to believe in myself! My journey is still far from over, and I still have a long way to go but I can honestly say I am doing so much better! Along my journey I did not only lose a lot of weight, but I gained my life back! There is no stopping me now! It's never too late to fly! . . . . #jacquelineadan #jacquelinesjourney #effyourbeautystandards #selflove #lovemybody #lovemyshape #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #beforeandafter #beforeandafterweightloss #extremeweightloss #wlstories #onaquest #bodybuilding #bodytransformation #bodybuildingcom #poparmy #transformation #transformationfitnation #trainlikeabeastlooklikeabeauty #transformationtuesday #tuesdaytransformation #fit #fitspo #igweightloss #fattofit #naturalweightloss #fitfam

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. I was nervous to take my cover up off and to walk into the pool or walk on the beach. I still felt like that same 500 pound girl...then it happened. 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. 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. 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. To be honest, yes it bothered me. 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. They do not know me. They do not know how I have worked my ass off to lose 350 pounds. They do not know how I am recovering from major surgeries. 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. Loving yourself just the way you are is hard. Others might not like that. That's ok. I hope you love yourself. Love your body. I hope you keep doing you and just keep smiling! . . . . . #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 #transformationjourney

"One day it just clicks...you realize what's important and what isn't. You learn to care less about what other people think of you and more about what you think of yourself. You realize how far you've come and you remember when you thought things were such a mess that they'd never recover. You smile because you are truly proud of yourself and the person you've fought to become." . . . . #jacquelineadan #jacquelinesjourney #skinremoval #skinremovalsurgery #extremeweightloss #losingweight #transformation #transformationjourney #facetoface #facetofacefriay #beforeandafter #beforeandafterweightloss #igweightloss #igfit #goals #onaquest #bodybuildingcom #bodypositive #effyourbeautystandards #obesetobeast #warriors #fitfam #bodypositive #perfectlyimperfect #fitgirl #gym #gymlife #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation

Confidence does not happen over night. Learning to love yourself, take care of yourself and not worry about what others think is hard to do. For me, even after losing 350 pounds, I still sometimes struggle with all of the old emotions that used to fill my head. Will they laugh at me? Will they like me? How do I look to them? Will they make fun of me or call me "fat"? I felt so ready to rock this bathing suit and not care what others thought about me because I was happy and I was proud of myself. When I got down to the pool...something else happened. I did not want to take my cover up off. Those same thoughts and doubts and lack of confidence and self esteem came rushing through me, and I would have rather done anything but take that cover up off. I walked to the edge of the pool, cover up still on, and I froze. I almost said "screw it I'm not going swimming." And at that same moment when I decided I could not take my cover up off, it felt like someone slapped me in the face and said "just get in". So that's exactly what I did! This photo is the first time in over 5 years that I went into a public pool, without pants or a shirt covering me and just jumped right in! Change does not happen overnight! But we must fight to overcome our fears, self doubt and learn to love and accept ourselves just as we are! Who cares what others think! What matters is what we think and how we feel about ourselves! I worked too hard to not feel confidant in a bathing suit and to not jump right in! So jump in guys! Life is too short to keep sitting on the sidelines!! . . . . #jacquelineadan #jacquelinesjourney #fattofit #bodybuilding #bodybuildingcom #bodypositive #bodyposi #mondaymotivation #extremeweightloss #noexcuses #losingweight #weightloss #weightlosssupport #weightlosscommunity #beforeandafter #beforeandafterweightloss #weightlosstransformation #weightlossbeforeandafter #weightlossblogger #onaquest #fit #fitspo #motivationmonday #perfectlyimperfect #fitfam #fitspiration #fitness #workoutmotivation #effyourbeautystandards
