A woman who dropped 350 pounds did not allow - and will not allow - the criticism that some might make about her physical appearance to affect her.

Jacqueline Adan, who had the record to lose that many pounds, would wear a swimsuit for the first time during a vacation in Mexico. “For a little while, I thought, 'I can't do this. I cannot take off what covers me [the body; a robe] '”, revealed Adan, 30, in an interview with People. "It took me a long time to say to myself, 'Okay, you are beautiful, the way you are,'" she added.

However, when everything was going well and she was ready to face her fears. The inexplicable happened. Adan revealed to People that unfortunately, when she had the courage to stay in a swimsuit, a couple who was nearby pointed at her and laughed at her physical appearance; her sagging skin. “I didn't know if I was going to cry or if I was going to put my [robe] on again and I wasn't going to swim. For a moment I froze… I couldn't believe how someone could judge me and make fun of me. They had no idea who I was, what I have been through or what was happening to me,”he told People.

Even Adan confessed to the publication that if that had happened to her before she lost weight, when she felt ashamed of how he looked, she probably would have run to her room crying. But, that did not happen. The woman, who spent three years doing a diet and exercise routine, took charge of her emotions as she related. “They had no idea about my weight loss, why do I have to let their opinion affect me? How I feel about myself is what counts. And that's exactly why I smiled at them and jumped into the pool, she said.
