While vacationing in Key West, blogger Jacqueline Adan, 31, faced body shaming again, following her skin removal surgeries. In 2017, she had shared being ridiculed after losing 350 pounds and wearing a bathing suit for the first time in years. This time, however, Adan’s response was different.
She shared on Instagram that, despite being pointed at and laughed at, she now focuses on self-love, saying, “I don’t rely on other people’s approval. I’m too busy living my best life and loving myself, loose skin and all.”
Her empowering message resonated with her 118,000 followers, many expressing admiration for her confidence. Adan reflected, “This past year has been focused on my self-love journey. I can now wear a bathing suit and genuinely feel happy and confident, without worrying about others’ opinions.”
