Heidi Powell, a well-known fitness trainer, presented the astonishing story of Jacqueline, who lost 170 kg without the assistance of a professional. Jacqueline’s experience tells us all that “everything is possible.” Styleoga believes this and is committed to assisting people in accomplishing their fitness goals. Jacqueline’s tale is complicated and intricate. She explained, “I’m 29 years old, my name is Jacqueline Adan, I’m from California, and I’ve always struggled with my weight.”
“I was uncomfortable with my body image and thought I looked bad from a young age; the more upset I became about it, the more I ate.””I was furious at myself for allowing food to rule my life and contribute to my significant weight gain.” No matter what I tried, it seemed like I could never keep to any kind of “diet” plan and would either gain back the weight I had lost plus some, or I would give up when it became too difficult and resume eating.
I was always different from everyone else because I was always “dieting” or worried about food and my appearance, and I was sick of it!” “I had given up trying to eat like my peers by the time I started college in 2005.” I just wanted to have a “regular” college experience, so I started eating like everyone else and stopped caring.” “Kevin, my business partner, and Jenny agreed to visit Disneyland Resort at the end of 2011.”
It’s a paradise where wishes are granted and anything is possible. Since I was a child, I’ve loved Disneyland Resort, and it’s a place where I instantly feel like a princess.”
“I thought going to the Happiest Place on Earth would cheer me up, but when we got there, I couldn’t even make it to the front gate.” I was humiliated by the fact that I couldn’t walk and had gained so much weight.”
“I felt quite self-conscious while in a wheelchair at Disneyland.” Everyone was staring at, criticizing, and admiring the obese girl on wheels who couldn’t even stand! It was humiliating.””I knew I wouldn’t fit even though I told my sister and Kevin I didn’t want to ride the coasters, which killed me.” I promised to participate on a few rides that I thought I could fit on, but I overlooked one minor detail.”
“As I stood at the turnstile, watching Kevin and my sister pass through, I felt terrible.” I couldn’t believe I’d let myself get so huge. I went to the restroom and sobbed.” “A few days after turning 25, I realized I needed to change.” One morning, I realized I needed to do something about my weight. I wanted to better my circumstances. I left the center that day feeling prepared, determined, overwhelmed, and terrified.”
“By May 2013, I had reached half of my target weight.” This was a huge accomplishment for me, and I was anxious to continue losing weight in order to reach my goal. In August 2013, I returned to Disneyland with Kevin, Jenny, and my cousins. This was a huge achievement for me, but I was nervous about how I would appear and feel in public. Fortunately, it was my family’ first trip to Disneyland, so I couldn’t refuse!”
“I was excited to ride the rides, but I needed a wheelchair.” My cousins took my hand and led the way as we stood in line. Despite my emotional difficulties, I was able to fit on every ride and avoid getting stuck in any turnstiles. I was no longer going to let my weight prevent me from having pleasure in life.” “I’d always seen Disneyland as a place where wishes were granted. When Kevin got down on one knee in front of the castle on Christmas Eve, I was overjoyed.”
“I’d already lost a lot of weight and was halfway there.” I was 200 pounds lighter than when we first went to Disneyland, and I was engaged to the man who had always been there for me. I vowed that no matter how long it took, I would marry with the body I had worked so hard for, next to the man who had been by my side the entire time.” “It’s been a tremendous accomplishment for me to lose weight, but I’m having trouble dealing with the extra skin.” It’s abrasive and causes rashes, neck and back pain, and headaches.”
“I’m still waiting for the insurance company to approve the procedure because they consider surgery to remove excess skin to be cosmetic.” Despite the fact that I’m still recovering from my first surgery, I’m trying to be hopeful about the future. There is still time in my life, and I want to spend it in a way that will make me proud.” Jacqueline is a remarkable person who is driven and determined. She has faced countless challenges throughout her life, but she has always found a way to overcome them.
Her story is certainly one-of-a-kind, and she is living proof that with the right support and dedication, everything is possible. We wish her continued success and hope she continues to be an inspiration to others.
