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 story teaches us that “everything is possible.” Styleoga believes this and is committed to assisting people in accomplishing their fitness goals.
Jacqueline’s story is complicated and intricate. “I’m 29 years old, my name is Jacqueline Adan, I’m from California, and I’ve always struggled with my weight,” she explained.
“From an early age, I was unhappy with my body image and thought I looked ugly; the more upset I grew about it, the more I ate.”
“I was enraged at myself for allowing food to rule my life and contribute to my massive 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 attempting to eat like my friends by the time I attended college in 2005. I was just looking for a “regular” college experience, so I started eating like everyone else and stopped caring.”
“Kevin, my business partner, and I arranged to visit the Disneyland Resort at the end of 2011. It’s a paradise where wishes are granted and anything is possible. I’ve always like Disneyland Resort, and it’s a place where I instantly feel like a princess.”
“I thought traveling to the Happiest Place on Earth would help, but when we got there, I couldn’t even make it to the front gate.”
“I felt ashamed of myself since I couldn’t walk and had gained so much weight.”
“I was pretty 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.”
“Even though I told my sister and Kevin that I didn’t want to ride the coasters, I knew I wouldn’t be able to, which was heartbreaking. I promised to participate on a few rides that I thought I could fit on, but I overlooked one minor detail.”
“As I waited 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 cried.”
“A few days after turning 25, I recognized I needed to change. One morning, I realized I needed to do something about my weight. I wanted to better my circumstances.”
“That day, as I walked out of the center, I felt prepared, motivated, 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 look and feel in public. Fortunately, it was my family’s first trip to Disneyland, so I couldn’t refuse!”
“I was anxious to ride the coasters, 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 already lost a significant amount of weight and was halfway to my goal. 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.”
“Losing weight has been a huge triumph for me, but I’m struggling with the extra skin. It irritates the skin and causes rashes, neck and back pain, and headaches.”
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.
