A woman was mocked and laughed at because of her ‘disgusting legs’, then she takes a close-up that would silence bullies and inspire others.

Jacqueline Adan had long struggled with her weight, she weighed more than 500 pounds (220 kg) and decided to lose her excess baggage.

However, losing weight quickly has an enormous effect on your skin – meaning your skin doesn’t shrink down to your body’s new size and it becomes loose instead.

But the more she lost weight, the more her skin became looser.

For a while, Jacqueline was worried about her excess skin especially on her legs but got her resolve that it will not hold her back from living her life.

With some struggles, Jacqueline gained confidence in her body.

She even got her confidence back on wearing a bikini bathing suit for the first time in a very long time but it almost got ruined after she accidentally ran into some bullies when she went to the beach.

When people made fun of her, she posted on Instagram saying, “It does not matter what others say. That’s ok. Love your body.”

She worked her ASS off, losing 350 lbs! And she’s proud of it!

“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!”

Jacqueline hoped her story inspired others. Share your story down below!
