“Good health is not a trophy on your wall, but a continuous journey!” she wrote in her caption. “I still have room to grow, but I’m more motivated now than I’ve been in years. Let’s keep pushing!”
Jazz has always been open about her battle with binge-eating disorder, a topic she addressed during the seventh season of I Am Jazz in 2021. In an earlier Instagram post, she acknowledged the weight gain she experienced during that time.
“I’m sharing this to hold myself accountable for my weight gain,” she stated in her caption. “I’m ready to turn a new leaf, but I need to act on creating positive changes in my health and body.”
As evident from her latest video, Jazz’s hard work is paying off, and her aspirations continue to grow.
While Jennings has faced negativity online and offline, she has received a wave of encouragement and support for her recent achievements, especially in her latest post.
